Bit of a rant, but to this day I never really understand why CA choose Rome 2/Attila as their "template" but just left the Shogun 2 style in the dust. Shogun 2's battles just feel a lot smoother in my experience.
Its because Rome 2 was hyped beyond belief before it came out and CA apparently spent a ton of resources developing a new/revamped engine for it, and that sunk cost basically tied them to that horrendous new engine ever since- I really wish they fixed it or abandoned it for a better one, since the current engine is kinda just dogshit for realism.
shogun 2 fits much better for more musket and rifle warfare especially with all the stuff fall of the samurai added. CA easily could have done an Empire 2 or Napoleon 2 based on it
Shogun 2 was a perfect evolution of the Warscape games. Once Rome 2 introduced HP to units instead of the Wounds that all previous games had, it sucked all the visceral punchy feel out of battles.
This game was always weird for me. Every game, by the time I felt confident enough and assured that my kingdom was stable and strong enough, the rest of the map was already unified with multi-stack kingdoms ready to steamroll me. Maybe I was just trash, but I never really "succeeded" in this game like the others.
The AI kinda has a cheat, the debuffs of starvation dont really affect them, specially on the higher difficulties. And you are not bad at this game, i played this total war a lot (i kinda really like the setting) and it seriously one of the most broken campaigns of the series. It has lot of exploits, and the ai knows that. Minor settlementes have no garrison, so if you make a cavalry only army you can kinda capture everything and just ignore enemy armies (the ai often uses a single general to cap your shit in legendary. You can capture port walled cities in a naval battle in a single turn, spawn a general (or 3), next turn boom, you cap the entire province (and guess what, the ai does that too). Oh yeah, and if you keep playing after you get the ending cutscene, normans and vikings launch a full scale invasion, like fullstacks all over the sea, so if you are a masochist like me you can you fight them and watch the empire you built get plundered. Good times.
Dino Stan's a conqueror, but he's not a "conqueror", you know? Like he'll slaughter your nation's army, but he won't put you to the sword because your grain harvest got moldy. All in all, would recommend for your next warhost, 10/10.
Thrones was really good from a directional standpoint: Unique artstyle, ranged units actually mattered, units were beautiful, siege maps got a new breath of life, and it focused in on a theatre with great detail. IF ONLY IT WASN'T A SAGA! It lacked the gameplay style diversity and breadth of other total wars, and because of that, lost its replayability. I wish they made Medieval III in the same style but spanning all of europe and beyond in great detail, and of course having more unit and faction diversity
Its kinda sad how much CA ignored Atilla. ToB and Rome 2: Empire Divided were more fitting as Atilla expansions but the company would do anything else but work on Atilla lmao.
I remember whenever there was a DLC for attila 90% of the audience during the streams were just begging them to fix the performance issues or how some minor settlements couldn't get all four slots for building. It's a shame since Rome 2 actually runs alright now but Attila still runs like ass even on really REALLY good computers Empire divided would have been perfect for attila since you had disease, politics, and two (or three) religions fighting to replace roman paganism (Christianity, Manicheanism, and the Cult of Sol Invictus)
This game's economy has always been whack. I remember one story of a guy who opened his save after a patch and went from making tens of thousands in currency per turn to losing almost that much. CA really dropped the ball (harder than usual) and they did their best to tease us with something ALMOST like Medieval:TW 2 recruitment while making sure it absolutely was not that. They're bastards and should be treated as such.
I weirdly loved this game except all the factions are too similar. Tended to play the Welsh for the cool archers so I could just form a shield wall and shoot the enemy to death
Tbh, The game doesnt look that bad or anything. It might be just an Attila DLC looking game but the map is pretty big and there's a lot to choose from. As an Attila fan I would reccomend it in my opinion
Ppl so mad this game is so niceee, if you like the british isle and want to see that part of history is nice. The only bad thing is the price BUT WHO TELL YOU MUST BUY IT FROM STEAM???
I have a friend and this is the only total war game he will play. I've tried to get him into Shogun 2, Rome 2, Warhammer...etc. This is the only one he likes. I don't get it.
this was the only Saga title I got and ye it's very disappointing, the battles can be cool but the campaign is terrible, so all the more kudos to you for making it entertaining
honestly i bought this game, thought id love it. no idea what im doing, never played the old total wars (i came from warhammer) game didnt do good enough no one makes content for it. cant figure it out, never play again
Needs to be renamed auto resolve total war, after my first 20 or so turns I just auto resolved every battle, the only battle i had to fight manually were the normans at the end.
Wow, they gave Dino Stan's local neighbourhood a game adaptation!!!!
The devs knew their stuff
Viking raider? Yeah right I know a Norwich local when I see one

Shield wall is a pretty good mod for the game that almost justifies the existence of ToB as a stand-alone product and not just DLC for Atila. Almost.
I've heard about that mod, im wishing the team the best of luck

the food system makes it hard to have a lot of armies, but idk if they ai has to use food

U need a plan for it
@@sandiacontomillo You're goddamn right I do.
@@Drakonus42 between this and Atilla, I like Thrones more.
Damn the Attila community really put their love into this mod. I wonder why nobody play this
lmfao
it's up to dinostan to revive the total war britannia competitive multiplayer scene

true, one play through of this game and youve seen everything
The total war game that finally unseated Medieval II from its throne. Gosh such a masterpiece
a Christmas miracle
Man literally went from doomer to optimist and all the way back to doomer again.
The Thrones of Britannia experience.
a roller-coaster of emotions
The best thing about this game is that it runs in 64 bits. I would pay a lot for a update that allowed old total war games to run in 64 bits.
real
7:06 These are actually advanced nordic tactics meant to strike fear in the hearts of the enemy
real. tho many dispute this
Definitely (in my opinion, of course) one of the most video game of all times
sage
Before I even clicked I was thinking “it’s Britannia ain’t it?” Sure enough, it is.
Its kinda sad how much CA ignored Atilla. ToB and Rome 2: Empire Divided were more fitting as Atilla expansions but the company would do anything else but work on Atilla lmao.
i guess they make them no money

Empire divided would have been perfect for attila since you had disease, politics, and two (or three) religions fighting to replace roman paganism (Christianity, Manicheanism, and the Cult of Sol Invictus)
the only game where you have to pay to have bad dentistry and for a 5 dollar DLC that lets you have a little bit of blood on the ground
funny enough if you have the attila blood dlc you get the thrones one for free
This game's economy has always been whack. I remember one story of a guy who opened his save after a patch and went from making tens of thousands in currency per turn to losing almost that much.
CA really dropped the ball (harder than usual) and they did their best to tease us with something ALMOST like Medieval:TW 2 recruitment while making sure it absolutely was not that. They're bastards and should be treated as such.
The soul of medieval 2 I hope one day can be revied with all its mechanics in a modern game
i didnt expect this, total war britannia
this is one of the total war games of all time.
Dinostan playing a attila mod? Somehow he makes it fun to watch😂.
Ah yes, Atilla: Rise of the Republic DLC. My favourite.
classic atilla
I weirdly loved this game except all the factions are too similar. Tended to play the Welsh for the cool archers so I could just form a shield wall and shoot the enemy to death
medieval quick scopers
You should totally play Age of Charlemagne DLC for Attila TW, if you want to satisfy that early medieval itch
i can film that for a video i hope some time soon
Emo Viking Dave goes on an adventure for food and friendship would be a pretty good title.
a title for a grand movie
@@Dino_Stan or quirky little short story-I wouldn’t mind writing that.
My favorite Total War :)
Total war britland is my favorite game
The thumbnail speaks the truth ngl
only facts
The little character portraits look like they were stolen from CK1
That ram had me rollin
ram ai has evolved
Tbh, The game doesnt look that bad or anything. It might be just an Attila DLC looking game but the map is pretty big and there's a lot to choose from. As an Attila fan I would reccomend it in my opinion
I didn't find it that bad of a game, tho the price of the game was kinda wild
My proud ancestors 💂🏿♀️
Wow! Great video!
the portraits look like a more primitive version of the wojaks
classical wojaks
@@Dino_Stan just saw a saxon girl go out with a celt. The Danelaw has fallen...
@@sanyika3641 Really!?!?!
I always peacefully occupy in TW games cause I feel bad for the peasants ):
same )=
and serious times forever reigned
we're in them now still
First total war I played
Ppl so mad this game is so niceee, if you like the british isle and want to see that part of history is nice.
The only bad thing is the price BUT WHO TELL YOU MUST BUY IT FROM STEAM???
I think the price really is the one thing that holds it back the most
i quite liked this game it was my first total war game
Its not really a bad game
Dino Stan do be making another season of Vikings
I had to step up
when multiplayer doesnt work so you post the game to your youtube channel to stimulate the game's multiplayer playerbase
Ultimate money move
I forgot this game existed, also play masaesyli next in rome 2 but just wage constant ambushes with cav armies in the desert
That might be pretty fun
At last, we will forge the great nation of Britsburg.
We making it outta jorvik with this one!
Oh this game exist.
8:24 he said it!
soundtrack is good
true, i did like it too
After Attila, Total war has been in a constant downwards spiral
basically
*after Rome 2
~45k total warhammer players: ok
@@SpikyDaneCandy crush has more players than any other game
dino we need to cook dino
yooo mista white
Well this is a game that exists, age of charlemagne w dlc
that dlc is basically this game
I have a friend and this is the only total war game he will play. I've tried to get him into Shogun 2, Rome 2, Warhammer...etc. This is the only one he likes. I don't get it.
He's a rare specimen
this is just crusader kings but with less incest
Basically
You should try Age of Charlemagne for Attila
I can do a video on it prob
It’s very larpey
you should make a boii experience vid in rome 2
that will prob happen
dino stan. the dog man asked about you. what should i tell him?
tell him i mailed him a casserole and that im fine
“This really is a 30 dollar Attila DLC” HAHA
I was wrong it was a 40 dollar dlc lmao
You’re so based Dino Stan 🥹
no u king
I’m on the fence between buying this game or Attila, what’s everyone’s thoughts?
Atilla has more content ands mods, I'd go with that
@@Dino_Stan the Dino man himself, dino Stan! Thanks for the reply, I know what I must do now
@@Korban99 bless up
this was the only Saga title I got and ye it's very disappointing, the battles can be cool but the campaign is terrible, so all the more kudos to you for making it entertaining
The sagas have been very mid unfortunately
Did you checkout the Caesar is Britannia mod for this?
I have not gotten a chance to play mods for this game, but i should go back and see them
Please do total war three kingdom video
I need to do one
I thought you would talk about spartan total warrior
I gotta make a vid on that or the viking one
fire emoji fire emoji fire emoji
honestly i bought this game, thought id love it. no idea what im doing, never played the old total wars (i came from warhammer) game didnt do good enough no one makes content for it. cant figure it out, never play again
its a very mid game, not really that bad but theres a lot of better games
Why does the king have a Google Chrome shield
to protect him from internet explorer
Why does the artwork make them look like kruzjacks?
medieval wojaks
For once it isn't clickbait.
I do what I can
The game is bad because it does bot include the possibility for a Rupert's Land world conquest.
fact actually now that i think about it
Needs to be renamed auto resolve total war, after my first 20 or so turns I just auto resolved every battle, the only battle i had to fight manually were the normans at the end.
reallllll
This game is terrible, we already have a fantasy total war in Warhammer, why would I want to go to the fantastical land of Britain?
war hammer province of albion
*autoresolves every battle* "game feels half assed"
Real
As a total war player, I’m really puzzled by what I’m watching. Is this a mod for atilla?? Or an AI video?? What is a “thrones of Britannia”?
a mysterious game
It's basically an attempt made by CA to try and turn the premise for an Attila DLC, Age of Charlemagne, into a crappy game that costs $40. No cap.
I fucking hate the unit cards in this game
they kinda grew on me a bit not gonna lie
It was weird playing this game… it felt like it was so close to being something more and just needed more effort and more time put into it
It was a good idea with some cool concepts, but it does seem rushed out really fast
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Bruh that recycled cutscene lmao i bet half the assets in this game are recycled too
yeah its just stuff they had laying around from attila lmao
Attila 2.0
it really is
@@Dino_Stan
It is
Pls reply to me dino I’m feeling lonely no cap
sorry for late reply king, hope you are less lonely now
This game feels like a downgraded version of Attila ngl
