How are things going in the Total War community? Not great, yeah. It began when an existing bug that prevented some factions from being aggressive spread to encompass even more of them—namely the Lizardmen and Tomb Kings—getting to the point where it was difficult not to notice how many Legendary Lords were sitting at home twiddling their thumbs while minor factions went on the warpath.
The bug causing this was actually due to how computer-controlled factions deal with recruitment. Each of those lazy stay-at-homes was trying to recruit specific units they had limited access to, finding they couldn’t, and then defaulting to inactivity. Apparently the bug had previously affected the Beastmen, but went largely unnoticed because nobody really cares about Beastmen. Which is harsh but true.
After a recent update spread the issue to the Tomb Kings and Lizardmen, it was spotted by YouTubers and Redditors who made it a talking point, deciding that the only way to convince Creative Assembly to do something about it was by review-bombing Total War: Warhammer 3 on Steam.
