    These other user reviews are wrong about this DLC. Steam reviews more accurately reflect the state of it. The DLC is not fleshed out at all. All of the factions have all of the same starting units, and there is almost no variety later in the game. The main faction, Charlemagne's, suffers such incredible penalties to integrity and morale that you have to decimate your armies every turnThese other user reviews are wrong about this DLC. Steam reviews more accurately reflect the state of it. The DLC is not fleshed out at all. All of the factions have all of the same starting units, and there is almost no variety later in the game. The main faction, Charlemagne's, suffers such incredible penalties to integrity and morale that you have to decimate your armies every turn (kill 1/10th so they don't rebel), and even if they do go into battle, you have to severely outnumber the enemy because your units will begin to route as soon as they enter combat (even if you send two spear levies against one enemy spear band). The map is reduced in size from the original game, most of the factions are copypastas of Germanic factions from the base game, only with reduced unit variety. It's a generally inferior version of the base game, and since you need to own the base game to play this, I am rating it based on whether it improves on or detracts from the base game. Check out the mods for the base game instead.… Expand

    The expansion provides just enough improvements and new features to convince you to play through the campaign again. [02/2016, p.44]

    A successful expansion to TW: Attila brings new political and military situation, very different factions and funny mechanics of war fatigue. [Issue#260]

    Age of Charlemagne is a great way to improve on a Total War engine that sorely needed extra testing and bug-cleaning. Tight, attractive and challenging, it's the perfect way to prepare for the upcoming Total War: Warhammer but also a good DLC in its own right.
