Re: Warhammer III announced.
I'm really enjoying Warhammer III so far, playing as Kislev. Even though it's described as a faction for starting players, Kislev's starting position still offers a challenge, with enemies both east and west of your capital.
There are some useful quality of life improvements compared to the previous game. It's helpful to be able to see the full roster when selecting a faction. I like the ability to tell whether a diplomatic offer is close to being accepted (rather than repeatedly offering increasing amounts of money for a trade agreement and getting nowhere).
There’s more quality of life on the battlefield too. When one of your units isn’t moving or in combat, a line of ‘Zzzz’ appear on the unit card, so you can see instantly which units need new orders. Kislev's unit cards are done well – I can see at a glance which unit is which and they're nicely done images of the soldiers.
There's a small quality of life downgrade, at least for me, for screenshots. In Warhammer II, FRAPS works, so screenshots are easy to create and to find afterwards. In Warhammer III, FRAPS doesn't work. Taking screenshots with F12 works fine, but finding the pictures afterwards is a bit fiddly - especially if I want to edit them.
To find and edit screenshots taken with F12, I need to open Steam, select View (from the tabs at the top) > Screenshots > Show on Disk, then cut and paste the picture files somewhere else (because when I open Paint.net, I can't see the obscure sub-folder where the pictures are stored after pressing F12, even with 'see hidden folders' enabled). It works, but it feels like the long way round. Am I missing something - is there a better way to take and edit screenshots with the new game?
