Don´t get me wrong now, because i really love the Total War series. But let´s just say that Creative Assembly has had something of a cold streak for quite sometime now.

But i think pretty much everyone can agree on that Total War: Rome II (released back in 2013) wasn´t exactly THE ultimate Total War experience to date.

Because not only did the game suffer from a lot of bugs on release. There was also problems with the a.i, and pathfinding issues (to name a few issues with the game).

I think Black Sabbath´s song “War Pig”, would suit this picture rather well.

So that makes me wonder if “Total War: Attila” will be a different story? (less bugs, broken a.i and struggling gameplay mechanics).

So far it´s hard to tell. But at least i like the thought of Attila taking place at the very beginning of the Dark Ages (395 AD).

And the “Total War: ATTILA- Let’s Play Viking Forefathers” video looked really great imo (it contains over 50 minutes of gameplay footage from “Total War: Attila”).

So if you like that video, then you might wanna pickup “Total War: Attila” when it get´s released on February 17th.

About Total War: Attila:
Against a darkening background of famine, disease and war, a new power is rising in the great steppes of the East. With a million horsemen at his back, the ultimate warrior king approaches, and his sights are set on Rome…

The next instalment in the multi award-winning PC series that combines turn-based strategy with real-time tactics, Total War: ATTILA casts players back to 395 AD. A time of apocalyptic turmoil at the very dawn of the Dark Ages.

How far will you go to survive? Will you sweep oppression from the world and carve out a barbarian or Eastern kingdom of your own? Or will you brace against the coming storm as the last remnants of the Roman Empire, in the ultimate survival-strategy challenge? The Scourge of God is coming. Your world will burn.

Apocalyptic destruction mechanics

Wield the ferocious power of fire in battle to set buildings ablaze and terrify defenders, or wipe entire cities and regions from the face of the campaign map with the new raze mechanic.
