No longer will you feel less invested in politics because you will be nurturing and growing your family tree, with plenty of illegitimate and legitimate children, as well as playing political intrigues with them that utilizes an interesting system of “influence points.”
#ROME TOTAL WAR FAMILY TREE INSTALL#
How does one install governors? Well, through the family tree of course! Yes, the family tree that so many of us have missed is back, but now it’s bigger and badder (the good kind of bad) than ever because it has been interwoven into the whole faction politics hoo-hah that was practically a joke in Rome 2.

In Rome 2, you needed whole provinces in order to be able to issue edicts, but now, all you need to do is install a governor to a province and even if you own one region out of three, you will be able to reap the benefits of edicts. However, what is less infuriating is that there is now less of an emphasis on controlling whole provinces. The map is still divided into provinces, which themselves are separated into smaller regions with the continuing infuriating feature of only province capitals having walls. You may, or may not, be pleased to know that the gameplay is not dissimilar to what you would see in the Total War Rome 2 Emperor Edition. Thus, I decided to not shorten my lifespan from stress and went with a bit of Saxonic gameplay instead. A few turns in, with my empire crumbling from internal strife, economic woes and external forces, I watch my sanity draining away by the second.

Well, first things first, we need to check if the basic tried and true aspects of Total War gameplay work and what better way to do so then by playing as the Western Roman Empire? Who cares if it’s “legendary” starting difficulty? I’m a veteran of the series and I know what I’m doing. So really, the big question here isn’t what new features did they bring to the table, but instead, did they succeed in making those features better… or worse?
#ROME TOTAL WAR FAMILY TREE CRACK#
Everything has been tried before at least once before and Total War: Attila is essentially the developer’s chance of taking a second crack at it all. It’s all marketing strategy, but what you need to understand as we move along is that nothing revolutionary is happening here. Which is why it’s almost laughable when in promotional let’s plays and feature spotlights, they make it out to be these brand new, never before seen features. To even claim that it isn’t a spiritual remake, which, last time I checked, nobody was doing, would be quite silly indeed. You have the same factions to play as, there’s the same gameplay feature to play as a landless horde and the games are set in the same historical era. Total War: Attila, just for those of you who didn’t know, is a spiritual remake of the Barbarian Invasion expansion for the original Rome Total War. So sorry if this wasn’t what you had in mind, but if you stick around, I promise to keep it fairly interesting! Let us begin, shall we? Total War: Attila is the spiritual remake of an expansion pack to a game which is the spiritual predecessor to the game that Total War: Attila was built around and to not even discuss the deep influences and differences from those games to Total War: Attila would be foolhardy. Speaking of other games, this review will also not be purely about the merits, and demerits, of Total War: Attila alone, in a vacuum, where absolutely everything else is disregarded. Before we embark on this journey that is Total War: Attila together, I feel it would only be fair to give you, the reader, a good baseline on where I am coming from in terms of initial expectations for the game and the kind of things that might have affected my perspective on the game.Īs a big fan of the Total War series, I was disappointed by Total War Rome 2, which you can read all about right here. With such an experience relatively fresh in my mind, it would come as no surprise to anyone that my excitement and expectations for Total War: Attila were lukewarm at best.
