Hecleas Grand Strategy
Years in the making, this full overhaul reimagines Total War: WARHAMMER III from the ground up. If you want a strategic, fair, challenging, smarter, balanced, and more "realistic" experience, this is for you.

A very large part of the overhaul is fully configurable through the MCT.
Campaign mechanics, AI behaviors, balance systems, restrictions, progression, difficulty scaling, economy, public order, recruitment, and many other features can be adjusted depending on the experience you want.
Whether you want a harsher strategic campaign, a more immersive sandbox, a lighter experience, or a brutal challenge, the mod is designed to be highly modular and adaptable.
Small clarification regarding the changelog and the visuals.
Yes, the changelog is partly generated with the help of AI, simply because I prefer not to spend a huge amount of time manually writing dozens of pages. The mod has already required thousands of hours of development, so I try to optimize my time wherever possible.
That does not mean the mod is “developed by AI”. The design, balancing, testing, fixes, and gameplay decisions are still entirely made by me. AI is only used as a tool to format or speed up some secondary tasks.
The same goes for the images: I am not a 2D/3D artist, so I sometimes use AI to create clean and presentable visuals.
I understand that players have expectations, but I also hope you can understand that, between spending hours on a changelog or an image, and using that time to improve the mod itself, I choose to prioritize the development of the mod.
So please avoid shortcuts like “the mod seems to be developed by AI”. That is not the case.
- Mods that add new factions
- Mods that add new units
- Mods that add new items, traits, etc.
- Mods that change starting positions
- Cosmetic mods
- Immortal Empires Expanded and Old World
👉 This mod is balanced around vanilla values so you can freely customize your campaigns without needing submods.
- Mods that modify campaign or battle AI
- Mods that modify battle gameplay
- Mods that modify campaign gameplay, since this mod already deeply changes the game. Compatible ones are listed in the ‘Hecleas Grand Strategy Compatible’ collection.
- Be careful which mod you use and the extent of its modifications because sometimes it breaks something in the AI’s processing.
- Other large overhaul mods (this mod is already an overhaul)
👉 Check the changelog: this mod already changes many mechanics
Huge thanks to Cerb, terreohomines, Soul, Guv, ICT, Animu, stompie5, Coffeecoffee, Antagonistes, Zach, QTE, Grimmys and TWilliam for providing some of their scripts or idea used in the mod.
Huge thanks to Khorne, AG, LitoS72, UrLittleSodaPop, Honest_abram3, Nik, wex101, Krassian and I Have No Enemies Brother for their generous patreon support!
To be honest, it’s very difficult financially right now and I’m not ashamed to say it — it’s part of life.
Your help would be an immense relief and would let me keep working on the mod with a calmer mind.
