Total War: Attila - Initial Thoughts

[AntiDamascus]

I wonder if this will be priced as a full game. I may or may not preorder depending on what the stuff is and cost. I'm still playing Rome 2 so I can wait until it's on sale later to get it.

They said it will be priced like Napoleon and FOTS, so no, not as a full game.

Napoleon was a nice game to play but I prefer Empire, still playing it now and but not Napoleon. I am sure Attila will be a good game, and I'll probably buy it. I just hope it has enough random variability to play through more than a couple of times.

Napoleon excelled on the battle side, making it more of a "Total War" rather than an empire-building game that was Empire. So in this perspective, I'm definitely looking forward to Attila.

New Attila dev blog!

Will post comments on it later.

I like the overall darker mood of the graphics. If that can be transferred into the gameplay, Attila might be distinctive enough from Rome 2 to be more than just Rome 2 with missed features, e.g. some sort of family tree.

It will be interesting so see, how Attila hinself is going to be implemented. Could be as a new faction or some lategame overpowered steamroller who doesn't care about building, destroys everything in its way and cannot be stopped; at least in the first stages of the invasion.
I would favour the last, but this tends in the direction of "losing can be fun" - not a popular concept for marketing.

well he was stopped eventually historically. so i dont know why u have to lose per se. but diplomacy and intrigue played a big part in it as well... which has never really been the strong point of tw series.
