Perfect way to get my mandatory Roman Empire thoughts in.
Bubbleszest where are the videos???
@@skille3805nah let bro be, imagine not being able to comment without people asking when the next upload is...
Same man
I've been getting the Roman Empire thoughts twice a day now. I feel the imperialism growing inside lol
Please make a part 2. Leaving on the same turn that the end game disaster begins is such a tease. I want to see you frustratingly fight off endless tier 3 hunnic armies
I'd rather pay them to go away, tbh
@@Bitt3rSteel A true Roman 🫡
@@Bitt3rSteelBribe them with half the empire.
why pay them when you can have the pope ask them to please just go away... oh right you got rid of him.
@@LordDarkforactually, it wasn't the Pope that made the Huns go away, but it was the news of new Roman armies coming from Dalmatia. The Huns were exhausted and we're about to be encircled in the peninsula, so Attila decided to leave the peninsula
WRE tends to be more of an IRL morale issue rather than strictly a challenge issue: *surviving* isn't that hard, having the will to play that long is.
You can hold Italy, the islands and spain easily.
depends , if The pictish and Scotish declare on you and the suebi you can't hold the Isles and Iberia without strugle
@@user-pk3iv5wi2q the islands I was referring to was the med islands.
Never let go of Spain, its the piggyback of the WRE
@@user-pk3iv5wi2qlol he didn’t mean British isles
Also north Africa (mostly Carthago) region is a bread basket. If you're gonna go to pagan ways and use pagan buildings you're gonna need that region to keep food supplies up.
Bitersteel playing Total War: Attila is such a bliss.
Attila have its charms
As a Roman Empire fan, I see this as an absolute win!
Average roman empire fan vs average han empire enjoyer
Since you had no disaster saves, you'd to go for the in-game one. Should be fun!
Holding Octodorum (minor settlement on the north west of Mediolanum) and Aqua Sextia (Major province on the south west of Octodorum) is a good idea. You need Iron for some of your army techs and the Eastern Roman tends to lose theirs and Aqua Sextia has the grape resource so you can keep it taxed and fed and use both of them to gather growth points for when you do your inevitable reexpansion for their respective provinces. Remember the fewer settlements you hold per province the quicker they gather growth. CA logic there. :P
PS: The Warhammer strategy where you can bait barbarian stacks by sitting in high success chance ambush spots can work, since they get a campaign map movement bonus. You sit outside your settlements in a forest and reinforce range, they rush in for an easy settlement sack and you can attack them on your turn when they get close.
Ambush works great in this game, you can pull off some great baits.
is that growth thing true? damn i got over 1000 hours played and ive beaten WRE and ERE on legendary and i didnt know that. Everytime i took a razed province id take all 3 settlements in 1 turn. fuckin CA man
@@solidusraiden2502 Growth just like food and sanitation in Attila, counts for the whole province. (In base Rome 2 food is global and sanitation is also not a thing).
@@masterexploder9668 If you dont believe me give it a try. For some reason either cause it counts up the growth points per settlement in a province and then averages them maybe. But take any non horde faction, take 1 region in a province, do a seperate save play for 10 turns and count the growth. Then load that previous save and take all 3 provinces and recount the growth. When you only have 1 of the provinces for some reason it is faster.
@@masterexploder9668 After almost 1000 hours - i never used ambush in Attila :D not sure how it works when you can see the armies all the time
I've always loved just how bleak and foreboding and dour Attila's atmosphere feels, particularly when playing as Rome. Like you can really tell the way the world was for hundreds of years was burning down rapidly and violently and there was no way of stopping it.
only thing I hate on Attila is lighting - you literally cant see shit in half of battles. Thats why i´ll never play legendary bcs i want use saves for instances i cant get battlle where its visiblewhats actually going on :D
I once did a run as the WRE without giving up a single province... it was gruesome.
Order no. 277
Bruh that sounds very taxing. Fighting every single battle. Kudos
Not one step back
It was enjoyable except for the millions of settlement defense battles.
On legendary? 😲
Ah yes, the ultimate disaster save experience. Really glad to see you on TW: Attila Bitter!
Imperium Romanum disaster save's lookin' different 😂
Bro you definitely are entertaining enough of a presenter to branch out in to any grand strategy game and have your content be excellent and fun to watch
I did the same strategy BUT: I held and built up in Africa, instead of Italy. More building slots and way more defendable since your south and east, and west are safe
Long awaited video. It's fascinating that we have very similar taste for strategy games. Also, seeing you play such difficult games is really entertaining.
Keep up the good work Bitt3r!
Makes me happy to see more diverse content on your channel. Just good old paradox and total war games are amazing. Love to see more of these.
We needed a person like you for this kind of challenges !
It's always good to see you play total war , i wouldn't be against more uploads related to total war games , thanks for this video bud
Shoutout to Legend of Total War!
Im glad you decided to switch it up and play some total war in the mix of HOI4 i think strategy games are just your bread and butter in general.
Great video mate :) Had a fun time watching!
When I saw you in LegendofTotalWar's stream recently, I never thought you'd dab into Attila, of all places - a welcome surprise
I LOVE this game man! Thanks for uploading a vid on it! 😃
I just finished the WRE campaign! I used the same strategy but I retreated to Spain and I kept Mauretania, everything else burns. The first 50 turns were crazy as endless armies show up on the Northern border, but I managed to hold on and built up a decent economy in Southern Spain and Mauritania, and later went on to restore the Empire :D Most fun campaign I had, it was intense of course. I feel that Italy, being at the center of the map, is more vulnerable than Spain. Even when I played Barbarian tribes, I tended to migrate to Spain and build up my Kingdom there. Also I've never seen Huns venture that far west into Spain.
The last time I played WRE in Attila was with the Radious mod and some misc mods added aswell. I held the Germanic border from north to south (there's some really good defensive cities like Colonia and Argentoratum) and left an army garrisoning Camulodunum. I also left two or three armies in Northern Africa and defended Aquileia and the Augusta north of the Alps (Vindelicorum?)I liked the mod because in vanilla, the more you research, your public order and sanitation buildings get "forgotten" and in the late game the garrisons get like Tier 3 units.
The trick (and the hustle) is to take advantage of the braindead AI to defeat invasions to cities (many Roman settlemens west and east have unbreakable walls near the town center and cavalry can do a lot of damage in this game) and have your emperor lead an army to fight tribes that migrate through your lands and try to settle. The more battles your monarch win, the more his influence will rise.
As Legend said in his guide "you got to always be the biggest prick on the fkn block in this game!"
SOLVM INVICTA! Great video!
Suggestion, try to survive as West Rome while not abandoning any settlement.
Noted!
wow first time seeing total war from you, and i love it! hope to see more of it ❤❤
Im litterally doing a World conquest a Rome on attila right now this game is my favorite TW so glad to see you playing it
loved this one, looking forward to see more attila on this channel!
Yo tw historical are the best. Keep it up man, can you make some legendary companies with challenges as montages ?
omg I was waiting for that video so much
I definitely do enjoy watching you play other games as well as HOI4. Great content mate keep it up!
love this video!! thank you for it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was great seeing just how mad Atilla can get, specially in comparison to how I remember Barbarian Invasion in years gone by
Oo Bittersteel diversifying thats awesome. I'd love to see some EU4 videos, ive been getting back into that game since the new patch. It's better than ever somehow.
Noted!
This was a great video i really enjoyed it and i hope you start including total war games more often to you"re channel along with hoi4.
I really enjoyed this, i only really consume total war for strategu tho. Hope to see more
I think total war games aren`t all that fun to watch with challenges like "can I survive this and that", but rather with challenges like "can I achieve this and that". E. g. reconquering the entirety of all roman lands.
Nice vid. It's really refreshing new content❤
Happy to hear that!
I always wished you would venture into total war, I'm so glad you are and hope to see more.
”The world will burn” and ”atilla” is giving me brain spasms.
My band ”Arcillah” is about to release our first demo ”The World Is Burning”
Bitt3rsteel playing my favourite total war expansion and faction. Happy bloody days
When you realize you'll watch anything this guy puts out and love it...
Exactly the same way I am currently tackling my Eastern Roman empire campaign.. scorched earth tactics and consolidation around the unbreakable Constantinople and it's surrounding areas.. good luck man, Roma Invicta!
Excited to see something new!
I don't know if you've played it, but Civ V's scenario of Fall of Rome on deity would be pretty challenging as well
Would love to see more Total War gameplay! Been on a big TW:Napoleon kick lately, maybe team up with PixelatedApollo?
Loved the video! And love watching Attila Total War gameplay!
I remember doing a similar strat but i turtled for quite a while in italy and held a small holdout in the province up in northwestern hispania and simply waited until i could start reconquering starting with africa then moving up into hispania, all this before attila came of age and on legendary difficulty.
Also i always found the pike mercenaries to be a good investment simply because pikes are OP in settlement battles.
Lets go,
More of this
Heroes of Might and Magic, any of the 7 games, would be amazing to watch you play. It's also turn based strategy, but it has turn based tactics as well.
I managed to hold on to most of western Rome in my playthroughs. It just required excellent battle micromanagement, and fighting every battle to slow the enemy down.
Love your content 😊😊😊❤❤❤
New bitt3rsteel video. Yay
I'd love to see you play the elder kings mod. Doesn't matter if 1 or 2, both are great.
Love seeing some attila. You can keep iberia usually too as western rome 3 armies for iberia 3 for rome is usually good because of towers and roman cav garrison shenanigans
Great to see Total War again.
Deffo bring more content.
Holy moly, the combo of the century! 🥳
Love the total war content. Not surprising that you know what your doing lol
Impressive. Very nice. Now do Eastern Rome/Byzantium for 100 turns.
In one of my Western Rome campaigns I kept sending gifts to the Huns, even if it jus very little gold. This made them like me enough, especially when we both had a war with the same factions (mainly germanic tribes).
It was fun to bribe them into joining wars and see all those who opposed them be stomped into the dirt by Attill and his hordes.
It works, you only need to focus on Rome, and you start rebuilduing yourself. I prefer mostly, the strategy of abandoning everything, and just hold Italy, Spain and the islands of Baleric(i think they are called), Corsica and Sardinia. Both strategys worked good back in the day and they still work.
Doin a western roman empire run never gets old.
"Can I last 100 turns as the Western Roman Empire" Proceeds to demolish the whole empire in one turn
Your “being more stacks” mentality makes me chuckle because I always throw more men at my problems in total war
Nice Turn that you now look at TW - May you look in the Future at TW: Rome II?
I played the exact same setup and found it quite easy actually
I enjoy watching you play Attila!
Great video. I need MORE
I literally just started playing Atilla again 2 days ago awesome coincidence
7:40 I almost thought it was a massive nuke attack xD
You don't need to burn regions any more, you can try and hold the empire with the exception of Britain, legends guide us for an older version of the game.
Lol bribing the Huns to attack the Sassanids is honestly brilliant. "Did we mention they are rich? Yep, anyways good luck boys, give'em hell. So uhhh, send a missive to Constantinople tell them help is on the way and they're welcome. " If only Honorius was this creative.
Great vid! Thought about doing any other total war games?
I typically don't auto resolve a guaranteed loss. You can usually do allot more damage to enemy armies if you fight the losing battles.
True, true. I was just trying to make things move along, since recording already takes a lot of time
Rome 2 with the divide et impera mod is quite the challenge
I heard that Bitt3rSteel was suffering again. So I came to watch!
Can't wait to see eastern empire gameplay
This make me nostalgic.
The only game were the save game disaster it's a feature.
Ps, i never made a pagan run became i couldn't manage the food consumption.
The income consumption buildings are so much easier to manage.
I love the total war games, so I’d like to see more of this.
Great video!
buddy put da trailer park boys meme in there, chad move. also Ive had some disgusting heroic victories in that city siege map bro I hope I saved some of them
Love Attila Total War! Please give us army tutorials, I am so, so bad
The biggest mistake you can make in Attila is to convert back to paganism. It sounds very tempting - you start with lvl 5 building tech and if you research Christianity you lose it. However Christian buildings provide very important bonuses and consume gold. Pagan buildings provide similar bonuses and consume food. With the fertility mechanic this is a no-brainer.
Well, the morale penalty when facing atilla was my concern. On Legendary I'd be fighting him with an army that essentially has the same morale as an army that lost its general, if you are Christian
"there once was a dream. A dream called rome" Shoutout to Dovahatty
Would love to see some Stellaris! If you do branch out to other Paradox games, maybe we could see a mega campaign in the future?
I like how the strategy to survive the "fall" of the Roman Empire is to basically do a hard reset back to the Punic Wars, then expand the empire the same way it did the first time xD
Happy to see you play some Total War 🎉
My record was 180 turns. I had to fight every single battle to throw them all back long enough to get my feet planted. I lost because I was outnumbered like 20 to 1, but I held on for quite a while.
Imagine one day the top level government comes and packs up all their toys to retreat to more valuable lands.
Great bid Bitter, hopefully we get more TW videos :)
That's the plan!
@@Bitt3rSteel let's gooo!! 🙏
Not the best strat but kinda works. Its just depresing building the provinces back up. I allways hold on to for dear life italy, spain and at least the province of africa. Then i slowly reclaim lost territory. My last game i even held on to britain, that was a weird game tho, a rebelled province of the eastern roman empire named Macedonia conquered like south germany. Kindoff a mess
The video I was waiting
Rome 2 with DEI? It’s simply the best way of playing the game.
YOU FINALLY PLAYED TOTAL WAR LETS GOO
Hey, sorry I didn’t put this under the new HOI4 china guide, but have you by chance made a guide for Germany but vanilla? I’ve been doing my best to come up with a strategy for Germany for when I do decide to play HOI4, I’ve seen no step back guide and I’ve seen the beginners guide. But I know the vanilla different, so have you made a vanilla guide and if not can you?
My actual strategy was manually winning every defensive settlement battle. Like. EVERY battle possible. From all strategy games I always perfect my defense first. And the ones that weren't possible, i still did manual and dealt like 1200 casualties with 300 troops. The tribes and barbarians quickly run out of men to push, while they regain power, I consolidate and push back. On ERE it worked even better, the Ostrogoths completely died out after attacking my level 1 settlement twice and I not only managed to hold all provinces intact, but expand into Sassanid empire ( +mesopotamia) and Italia (+ magna graecia). Of course, corruption is eating me alive (50% of my income just disappears) but the faction trait fixes it
I tried that too.. wasnt really fun after5 turns. :D
@@krystofcisar469 y'know, defensive attrition warfare was never fun, but it works
I remember doing this while retreating to northern africa and spain after deleting the churches, was surprisingly easy that way.
Any chance you could continue this? Would be cool to see you handle Attila. Also, would love some EU4!
I don't know if you know this...you probably do but the best way to beat Atilla and his horses is spear spam as the Romans.
The testudo makes them(Spears) almost impervious to arrow fire and cav can not beat spears cost effectively in melee not even on legendary.
Remember to testudo though.
What you want to do is spam a full stack of spears, pick a corner of the map and then stack spears ontop of eachtoger in say three rows with your generals in the furstest back. What will happen is that Atilla is charge your spears after he runs out of ammo and then just be ground to a paste.
But that won't win it for you. No sir. You will loose entire armies(make sure to withdraw your general to not get him killed) but you will take more then enough with you.
But again remember that won't win you the fights mostly because the Huns also have infantry(infantry that out classes you by miles) they will kill your spear spam...and you just have to take it. Still, remember that this way you will defeat the Huhs even if a lot of your men will die.
Sorry I don't have a better start.
Also P.S, don't build melee infantry other than Spears, they are in not good, especially with the AI cheats on legendary.
Ok, thats going to catch some people, like me, off guard.
