3 REASONS WHY TOTAL WAR ATTILA IS HIGHLY UNDERRATED

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 มิ.ย. 2024
  • From the original Shogun to Total War Rome 2, to the highly anticipated Warhammer 3, there is no doubt in my mind that the Total War franchise is one of the best out there, giving strategy players unique and diverse ways to conquer the world in different time-periods while also providing a highly immersive battle experience.
    But there is arguably one total war that is the most underrated. A game that did so many things so well but was largely swept under the rug, And that is, Attila Total War. It was a brilliant Total War game that deserved a lot more credit than it got and in this video I’m going to run through exactly why.
    Hope you enjoyed the video guys and if you did give it a like and drop any thoughts or questions in the comments section below, and don’t forget to subscribe for more total war content, gameplay and news!

    If Attila had the same post-launch support as Rome 2 it would currently be one of the most successful titles, in my opinion.
    This is why CA should never give up on a title.

      Question is for Melkor AND Terminator. I have about 1,700+ hours into this title, and I can say it is fantastic. The mods are great and if your PC is decent, it runs just fine and looks amazing. 1212AD is by far one of the best achievements of the Total War moding community. Props to all involved. Do you think it is beyond CA to support this game now, all these years later? Or do you think that is a possibility for them to update and revisit?

    Love it or hate it, Attila is still a masterpiece. It feels so satisfying to beat WRE campaign with so many hardshipa to endure. Defending your borders to the last from 2-3 full stacks of barbarian invaders, sacrifice your treasury and taxes to keep your cities happy and hoping not to rebel and so many hardships you need to defend your realm. Its the best campaign experience in any TW game so far but thats my opinion 😄

      my slavs campaign started with full fledged war on turn 5 or 6 with islamic conglomerate of vassals on the east, while the west suffered from hunns-- turn 15- message about erased western rome, turn 40- Bysantia fall, turn 75- scandinavians becomes eastern roman vassals, turn 90 hunns nevertheless slayed vikings... the europe fell theres nothing(!) between me and Ireland. turn 100- hunnic invasion. I ve got like 15 regions from eastern europe all the way to the Caspian sea. turn 115- I have 3 regions near Caspian see called great schytia everything other is scorched, what actually stopped the hunns more then military defeats....So now Caspian region is a "neighbour" for Ireland, since everything else was destroyed. afterwards I reached like 70 regions claiming all islamic territories and retrieving my destroyed regions but the game thinks I still can't win because I grew to big and haven't conquered west... While there's only desert there... So the campaign goals also succs.

    This certainly explains why Atilla feels so much more difficult than Medieval 2. I only just gave Atilla a try, and was surprised by how much more complicated and refined it is than the two Medievals, but how can I possibly expand like I'm used to in the face of those Huns? I guess I can't.

    Attila has been my favourite TW game since it came out, I remember starting my first campaign as WRE and the feeling of exhaustion in having to carefully deal with waves of barbarians. Then when you think you’ve got an even footing, the climate gets worse and there’s plagues … then Attila turns up and you’re just sinking.
    I can see why some people didn’t like it, but I liked being rewarded for being patient and precise with my decisions.
    The mods on this game are outstanding - Medieval 1212 is by far my favourite, the work that’s gone into it is unbelievable and puts CA to shame

      Fall of the Eagles is the mod to play if you still want to keep within the dark ages time period. I like ancient empires as well, but it definitely still has to be worked on as far as some of the minor factions.
      If I want to head into antiquity, I play Rome 2 just for the immersion. If there was a way to port the dialogue between games, so you could add Rome 2, or Medieval 2 voice acting into Attila, that would be amazing.

  • @gnb_2476
    @gnb_2476 ปีที่แล้ว

    A similar setting in the future can be the Bronze Age collapse, maybe call it Total War: Apocalypse. The great empires had fallen and international trade was lost. Egypt was divided but surviving. Assyria and Babylon settled to protect their borders. The Hittites fractured into small states. The Sea Peoples rampages throughout the Mediterranean. Meanwhile, the Dorians pushed into Greece, and small tribal societies like Israel and Edom challenged the settled princes of Canaan for a home. It could recreate what Attila was while adding some new elements like perhaps grazing land if you're a nomadic faction, raids and skirmishes, rediscovery of lost knowledge, etc. This setting can be a spiritual successor to Troy as well.
