Twitch Mode is a setting that allows Streamers to give their chat the ability to vote on various decisions which affect the game, making the run either slightly easier or more challenging. During each vote, the game will either present 2 modifiers, from which the chat will have to choose one, or present an Item, after which the chat needs to decide who to give it to.
If you don't want to stream yourself, you can connect your game to any active stream without interrupting the streamer, because this mode only reads chat for hashtags options presented in-game, and if no one votes, the choice will be made randomly.
Twitch Mode can be enabled in Expeditions too, allowing the chat to choose not only buffs and debuffs, but the whole map too, removing the ability to choose maps from the players!
Enabling Twitch Mode[]
In the Map Menu, select Twitch Mode. From there, you can enter in a Twitch user and connect to their stream. The game will not enter anything into Twitch chat, it will only read chat for hashtags options presented in-game.
Configuration[]
The streamer has the option to change the voting duration, as well as the amount of time that needs to pass before another vote starts.
| Vote Time Limit | Time Between Votes |
|---|---|
| 5 | |
| 15 | 15 |
| 30 | 30 |
| 45 | 45 |
| 60 | 60 |
| 75 | 75 |
| 90 | 90 |
This allows you to choose any time from 20 seconds to 180 seconds between consecutive effects.
The number of units spawned by an effect can also be changed from 100% to any value up to 300%. Any multiplied number of spawns is rounded down, so 199% will still spawn 1 boss, and 299% will spawn only 2 bosses.
Modifiers labelled as "Mutator" can be disabled in the options menu, as can those marked "Item" and "Buff (beneficial)" by choosing "Disable All Blessings" or "Disable Item Blessings".
These values can be modified in the options menu, and can even be changed in-game while Twitch mode is active - you will have to wait for the next round of voting for the changes to take effect, however.
If the available values of the in-game options for time between votes, voting time, and spawn amount aren't to the user's taste, they can be directly edited in the user_settings.config file.
- twitch_spawn_amount = <Floating point number to multiply the number of enemies spawned with - maximum effective value seems to be 3.0>
- twitch_time_between_votes = <Seconds between each vote>
- twitch_vote_time = <Seconds before the vote timer runs out>

Map Icons (Chaos Wastes)[]
| Icon | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
Slaughter Bay | A haven for raiders and reavers for leagues around. |
|
Count Mordrek's Fortress | Count Mordrek raised a castle to challenge all within the Chaos Wastes. Like its master, the fortress still stands, ever-changing, never-dying. |
|
The Lost City of Marakza | Though this city is fallen into ruin, northlanders gather in its forgotten streets, competing for the favour of the daemons lurking within the crumbling towers. |
|
Cinder Peak | An unquiet volcano, trapped within the northern ice fields. Cultists whisper that it is no mountain, but a daemon whose boiling blood slicks the hillside. |
|
Grimblood's Stronghold | Rime-locked war camp of the notorious traitor Mannax Grimblood; a harbor from which raiders terrorise the Sea of Claws. The ice is suffused with the souls of the dead. |
|
Holseher's Tower | Marius Holseher[3] is long dead (or damned) but his tower still stands, staring across the Chaos Wastes to the infinitely more blasphemous domain that lies beyond. |
|
Pinnacle of Nightmares | A mountaintop close to where the sky runs thin, and reality bleeds away into the Realm of Chaos. A holy site for northlanders in search of unholy patronage. |
|
Bel'sha'ziir's Mine | Legend tells of a daemon prince, sealed away far beneath the sleeping skies by Sigmar himself. It also tells of those who seek the blasphemer still. |
|
The Forbidden Trail | The gaze of the Dark Gods is said to lie forever upon these trees, though there are always those prepared to take the risk and seek riches beneath the soil. |
|
The Foetid Gorge | A jagged scar in the Chaos Wastes, home to disciples of the Great Unclean One, Ku'gath Plaguefather, who pray that the daemon will one day lead them to endless glory. |
|
The Pit of Reflections | A sorcerous trap laid for the unwary, tempting them with visions of the past in order to unmake their future. Tread with care, and be ready for anything. |
|
Shrine | At these Shrines, heroes can seek the favour of wholesome Gods in the form of Miracles and Boons by sacrificing Pilgrim’s Coins. |
|
The Temple of Shadows | Prove your strength by destroying the three Shadow Locuses and get 2 Veteran Boons as a reward. |
