So, a popular strategic PC series about a total war from Sega And Creative Assembly continues. Moreover, this time the developers finally chose to finally move away from ancient Rome (but not that strongly) and more closely to look at those who ruined it, that is, at the barbaric tribes of the 395th year of our era era.

The Roman Empire has been living in the last days, the lights of civilization are finally go out, the dark centuries are approaching, and with them hunger, illness and incessant wars are approaching. Until it appears from the Scythian steppes Attila, The leader of the Huns, he is the scourge of God and the harbinger of the Apocalypse, and does not attack your already dying homeland.

As for the gameplay barely announced Total War: Attila, The same as in the previous parts of the series, the developers promise alternating a step -by -step strategy and RTS. Plus in the game, both the family tree and the tree of abilities will be settled again. Not to mention the advanced battles on the streets of the fallen empire, more believable citizens, better destruction of the surrounding settlements and dynamic fire, which is clearly destined to play a significant role in this campaign.

At the same time Creative Assembly, As usual, it guarantees historical reliability in everything regarding the involved technologies, weapons, combat equipment, culture and religion of that period, as well as a beautiful picture.

Will the creators be able to Total War: Attila We will find out to know our expectations in February 2015.

Total War: Attila

The best comments

Along the way, this is https://moneyslotsonline.co.uk/ a big addon to Rome 2, as with samurai, February 2015 is too early for a full -fledged game. Waiting for Medvel 3 with a graphone.

Eh, I personally expected the announcement of a full -fledged continuation, a new historical era. But this is not bad. Still, one of the most exciting eras in history. In general, let’s play will see what happens.

PS. To be honest that the developers would finally leave the restart (I personally believe that Medieval 2 do not need restart) and took up other historical eras and geographical regions. Here I personally expect a full part about the First World War.

Innovations:
They returned 2 gameplay features of the previous parts cut from Rome: family tree, level of loyalty, the ability to pump family members as governors;
The ability to build barricades on the streets is an almost complete copy of the current fortifications in military camps. In addition, I know from experience, 90% of the battle per city, when the AI ​​attacks, goes on the walls and at the gate, t.e. The barricades will be relevant only with the siege of the player, and AI clearly will not be able to use them wisely;
Destruction of cities – since no one promised the possibility of redrawing a map of the provinces, this “destruction” simply copies the existing possibilities of demolition of buildings, only with cool animation of the ashes;
Improved graphics corresponds to what they promised when showing the same intergrasses in Rome 2. T.e. It is not worth expecting a real improvement of the picture, and if it is insignificant, then again with wild brakes on top systems, because to optimize productivity of CA you need at least six months of an open beta, as it was with Rome 2;
Almost the whole world is divided between the Western and Eastern Roman empires, t.e. there will be very few fractions, as in the latter an addition to Rome 2 – August;
The practical card itself is the same as it was, with minor changes, by analogy with Augustus. Still most of the cities without walls;
You can’t play for Attila. In any case, at first, they will surely release a paid addition for the game for it.
In general, from the announced and all.
It would be a very good addon, rubles for 600-700, to Rome 2, like Barbarion Invasion to Rome 1 or Fall of the Samurai to the shogun 2. But greed forced the SA to pass the addon for a full-fledged game, as was the case with Napoleon, the most unnecessary part of the series (a simple example-we go to CICH, look at the number of messages in all topics for each game: honey 2-over 200 thousand, empire-40 thousand, Napoleon – 20 thousand, Shogun 2 – 34 thousand, Rome 2 – 52 thousand).
It is especially sad that since Attila will be a separate game, his positive features will not reach Rome 2 – there will be no family tree, the characters will be attached strictly randomly to the civil war, and not depending on their loyalty, which they do not have at all.
I will definitely try to play Attila, because the addition, I repeat, is not bad, but only on a pirate – I will pay for it when the price becomes the same, which should be at the addition, and not with a full -fledged game.

Yes, just someone is used to the impressed horsemen of the first Rome and does not want to admit their curvature, attributing it to the lack of game. =)

Some strange fashion has now gone full-scale addons to call new parts of the game.
Despite this, it looks beautiful, and even a little bewitching. So many lights, fires – beauty. Blood of the blood of blood will be interesting than ever shed.
On the other hand – in graphic terms, this is all the same Rome 2, the interface also changed weakly judging by the stream of developers. It became a little more beautiful, and that’s it. If the gameplay is pulled out, then well done, of course, because in the original Rome 2 with him were Maaaaaaaaalenic problems.

By the way, the topic of additions (well, I can’t call it a new part) is straight nostalgic. I remember the best addon to the original Rome also narrated about the sunset of the empire. In addition, a bet on a specific historical person is again made, as in the case of Napoleon and Empire TW.

This is, in my opinion, just independent. Like Fall of the Samuray, only there was a new era and the difference was global in Gamplee. Then here, I don’t feel the difference yet

Looks very beautiful, just gorgeous. I did not play Rome 2, my PC just does not pull it out. I urgently need to update everything, because I love this whole series, and I was forced to miss these two.
And so I will say that for me personally here, for more spectacular battles, there is not enough blood and dismember. It would be great if thousands of soldiers who beat on the battlefield chopped their heads, hands, blood whipped in different directions by pouring the ground in different directions, staining it in the corresponding color, the arrows pierced the depressing wounds, axes and swords would leave stake-cutting bloody wounds on the bodies, the strokes of the bodies have trotted the battlefield, and the earth is filled with blood and dozens Thousands of dead soldiers lie mutilated with the frozen grind of death on their face. Then it would be much more interesting to observe the progress of the battles, in the end it is historicity, in fact, in reality, it was not that. People should see all the horrors of war. It’s a pity that censorship and humanity are right now.

In general, I just drew attention to such a pattern: after the release of a really new part, the next often happens with its improved clone.
For example, after the release of the revolutionary Rome 1, they released a Medivl 2 made on the same engine and possessing almost all the same gameplay capabilities. But he, at least, was in another era and with significantly improved graphics, especially in terms of the variety of units (on this point he remained the best part of the series).
Then they released a completely new empire, the next game was its doped clone – Napoleon. There is already really clone.
And so, after completely new Rome 2, his clone comes out – Attila.
The only exception to the system – after a completely new shogun 2, a completely new Rome was released 2. And the absence of an intermediate game between them, apparently, is the main reason for the disgusting original quality of the game.
In general, the situation is similar to what they are doing small -laws:
Beautiful 98, then a piece of shit – 2000 and its completed version – XP, a piece of shit – Vista and its completed version – 7. What is 8, everyone knows. We are waiting for 9.

That is, if you just redraw skins under another era, it will already be considered a full -fledged new game?

Damn, but where so many, confident, divorced you? Where at least someone except fans said that the Huns would not be playable at the start?

As for me, the game turned out to be not even bad. And the horse archers are cool. Now I decided to go through the campaign for them and I calmly win everyone.

Well, what kind of Huns can be played right away is ready to even argue. This is if in Napoleon it would be impossible to play for France in a large campaign. CA is not so greedy.
P.S.

This is again at will. The initial fractions if you don’t have enough, then buy no other way.
P.P.S.
Ready to argue that 6 playable factions will definitely be at first. I put on: Western and Eastern Roman Empire, Goths, Huns, Sassanids and some Germans.
