Total War: Attila Review (Agent P)
Total War Attila its all what Rome 2 ever dreamt to be.
TW Attila its dark and bloody like the dark ages.
Each kingdom in the face of Earth its in a race against dead, cause the ascention of Attila its inevitable.
This state of urgency make you feel that every single turn, and every single decission will make the difference.
You will experience better graphics, better maps, better units, better battles, better campaign, better better, better everything.
Also the DLCs are much better than Rome 2.
Even in 2022 you will enjoy a grat game plaing Attila. This is of the best games in the Saga.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rome 2 has an horrid launch.
But (in many ways) this dissaster was never fixed.
(1) THE TACTICAL LEVEL:
Attila has hand made battle maps
Rome 2, the battle maps were FLAT-computer-generated
That means, in Attila, you will find great tactical elementis in the battlefield, making each battle unique.
Except fot sieges, in every single battle, the units were placed in FLAT battle maps
its a tactical game, with no tactical elements...
So, In Rome 2 battles, you will be playing the same boring SH*T battle again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, again... F*CK, thats so F*CKING wrong.
no high ground...
no units hiden behind a hill...
so, no ambushes...
so, no points of interest
just a complete dissaster
Also units of Attila has a much stronger personality.
Archers are fearsome.
Heavy cavarlry its terrifying
heavy infantry feels like heavy infantry.
etc. etc. etc.
In contrast, every single Rome 2 units are pretty much the same SH*T, fighting in the same FLAT square box.
In the tactical element, Attila was 10 times better.
(2) THE ARTWORK
Attila has a much better art design, in every single way.
It was a great improvment in lighting and colour pallette
Also, another consequence of HAND MADE MAPS, its they look much better.
cause most of the textures were han made, not just sprayed over a flat base.
So everything you see, looks much better in Attila.
Compared to that, Rome 2 was pale, boring, and unrealistic crap.
The flat battlegrounds look so BAD and so UNREALISTIC....
The Rome 2 units look so BORING... .
No living colous.... just a flat boring crap.
(3) BACKGROUND AND THE STRATEGIC ELEMENTS
Rome 2 has one of the better backgrounds that will ever exist: THE RISE OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE...
NOTHING can comparr to that.
So, the Rome saga was the only game they not have the right to ruin...
But they ruined it.
- The worst thing its... Rome 2 were striped from many of the best elemants implemented in the original TW Rome...
Like the civil war. the strugle between the Senate and the "people" of Rome. the orders of the SPQR
in Rome 2 you have no fight against the Senate, and i cant even remembmber if you have a civil war... but you have no factions (like the real life Crasus, or Pompey)
So... Rome 2 has everything to be the BEST Total War ever... and they ruined it.
So in Rome (as in history) you not only have to beat your enemies... you will have to doit without starting a war against the Senate.
In Rome 2 its just a parade.
- in Attila you will play as a smaller rising nation, with the urgency of being prepared to the scourge o God...
and when the time comes, it will be the apocalypsis
It was an excelent concept.
Why people are whining about this???
(4) PILITICAL CORRECTNESS
You dare to wrote me talking about my "political correctness" in REDDIT... ????
Your Rome 2 was made by a bunch of faggs.
Just watch the videos of the press team.
Once I even wrote to CA... "take out this faggs, they do not represent me...
And... "Gods.. I hate the gauls...
"and my grandfather hated them too, even befor they put out his eyes....
The ORIGINAL Rome (as the history of humankind) were based on racial hate.
Rome was so cool and realistic...
your beloved Rome 2 was striped from everything....
the Senatum aristocracy.. the people of Rome... even the black units...
Attila bring back the races, AND... the religion.
So you will be expterminateng another nation because of his race, or his religion...
And, BTW, I have never being in reddit.
