    I'm about to give up on this game... after playing it for about a week. Let me guarantee you that I own and have played all the other Total War games - vanilla, modded, etc. Attila has broken AI that sucks all the fun out of the game for me. It isn't that it is "hard".

Let me guarantee you that I own and have played all the other Total War games - vanilla, modded, etc. Attila has broken AI that sucks all the fun out of the game for me. It isn't that it is "hard". It is that it is unplayably unfair. Let me give you a few examples:
    (1) Apparently you can have an empire of five territories, but can just barely afford to field 3 full armies. Meanwhile every AI empire consisting of a single territory can field 3 armies as well. How? Who knows?
    (2) The AI knows where your armies are, even when you are out of line of sight. I can save the game, and move my armies to one side of my empire, and an enemy will pop up and attack the city I just left. Meanwhile if I load the game and move my armies in the OTHER direction, a DIFFERENT enemy will pop up and attach the cities I left on the OTHER side of the map.
    (3) Because the AI cheats, there is no way to "surprise" the enemy. For example, if you move a single army (from out of line of sight) to an enemy city, you will find it strongly defended. Reload the game, and move TWO armies to an enemy city - and you find it abandoned because the forces fled before you were even within line of sight.
    (4) The AI will declare war on you - even when outnumbered. Then they will abandon their home territory, march their armies through four or five enemy empires - untouched - and attack you. Meanwhile their home empire is never touched even though surrounded by other enemies. If you defeat them and try to pursue, every AI empire you try to pass through will attack you, and the MOMENT you are one turn's move away from your home empire, every one of your neighbors (who are not supposed to know where your armies are) will raid your empire.
    (5) AI enemies will come to each other's defense, even though they are enemies.
    (6) I can trap an enemy army on a peninsula, and when I attack them they can "magically" retreat off the peninsula into deep woods three turns of movement away. While I am trying to pursue them through the deep woods that they magically teleported into, they are free to pop out the other side and raid my cities.
    It goes on and on. There is nothing more disappointing in a strategy game than cheating AI. Everything the AI does is supposed to be based on the game environment and evaluations of risks, rewards, and relationships.

    There are other glitches and problems in this game, and I have had one crash. Given that it is brand new, this is not too bad, and I assume they will patch the small problems. But until they fix the AI, this game is dead to me.    … Expand

    I don't think if it's correct making absolute reviews over a game that belongs to a saga. Total War stepped into a new age with Rome: Total War and lived its golden age with Medieval II: Total War. Ever since it's declining so fast, and yet this Total War: Attila is nothing but another disappointing sequel in Total War history.

    Same as Rome II, soulless, churned out like a machine, and utterly lacking of all charm. This game is nothing but a slap to the face of all of the older games' fans.

    Half the factions and more than half of the cultures were cut from the game to be sold as dlc. The only cultures playable are germanic, roman and eastern. Take a look at any of the total war games before tweedle dee and tweedle dum started making the frat boy specials video series and you can see pretty clearly what's wrong with this picture. This shameful dispray will not be forgotten.

    With slow performance, greedy methods of money grabbing, and a game that seems more like a Rome II expansion than it's own incarnation, I recommend people steer clear.

    Also, there is the possibility they could balance and patch this game, and it might become a good game with time. Right now the AI is horrific. It is the worst kind of cheating AI - where one faction knows what the other is doing on the far side of the map. Worst, AI enemy factions will ignore each other to throw 100% of their forces against you, leaving their home provinces completely unprotected - but who cares because the AI knows another AI faction will never attack them. Enemy factions will support each other in combat if you attack one of their armies in support range of the other. There are all kinds of quirks in the game - you can have a conquered territory that insta-generates a rebel army that in turn insta-conquers a city. One minute there is nothing there and the next minute there is an enemy army and a conquered town. I even had a time when I had TWO different rebel factions conquering the same town - backing each other up - even though they were both enemies. The final straw is the broken diplomacy system. Once you get three territories, just ignore diplomacy because NOTHING you can do will improve your diplomacy status. This game reminds me of the early days of computer gaming when one AI opponent would declare war and you would watch as ALL the other AI opponents would jump on board, zerg rush from the far side of the map, and ignore all odds (and all other enemies) to overwhelm you with wave after wave of suicide attacks. The AI enemy can't catch disease. The AI enemy can't starve. Those are just for the PLAYER armies. Oh and the best part of all, if your empire is short of food in aggregate, your armies can't heal - regardless of the local food situation. So you might be in Egypt, watching mountains of food rot in the sun, but you can't eat it because people are starving in Britain. Yes, it's that stupid. Give this game some time - right now it is VERY raw.    … Expand

    In Attila, they butcher history and leave you with only two horse archer factions worth playing; the Huns or the Sassanids.

    The Sassanids are not a good faction to learn to play with due to their starting size. I like playing as a smaller faction and discovering the game as I grow larger rather than having everything from a large empire thrown at me in the beginning. They're out.

    I have no interest in playing a culture that can't settle down and is forced to remain nomadic no matter what you want to do. The Huns are out.

    The last possible faction of potential interest is the Alans, the descendents of the Scythians. And oh boy, did CA screw THAT up! They get only two horse archer units and neither are available while migrating. This makes absolutely no sense on its own. The far worse part is that their horse archers are crap. They can't shoot 360 like the Huns and the Sassanids which makes absolutely no sense. They were descended from the freakin' Scythians!

    So there is no one interesting to play at all in the whole game. Bad enough that every Total War game makes horse archer ridiculously under powered.    … Expand

    Fear not though, Szlomo is here to deliver the soundest advice possible:

    Option 1 for those who never played any totalwar game... BUY ROME 1 or if You really must try the newer gfx engine try the broken but playable Shogun 2.

    Option 2 for those who are avid followers of the franchise and have played the previous titles to death... GO PLAY TETRIS! Plenty more strategy in the russian grandaddy of games than in this steaming pile of rotten, promoted to the point of vomiting, bile. Delivered in an excruciatingly expensive package (think of buying all the DLC for a complete game) coupled with taxing requirements, unwarranted by anything You might experience.

The AI in ATW, as in R2TW, is absolutely awful and continues to rely on varying degrees of cheats/handicaps to give the impression of a challenge. This is no longer acceptable; AI should have historically and situationally based strategic and operationally based objectives at this point in the series, unlike the wildly chaotic (and historically/strategically ludicrous) and nonsensical AI on display in this game. A good example of this is the tendency of hordes to commit faction suicide in senseless attacks. Crappy battle AI is still a factor, with AI units sometimes continually exchanging places (re: milling in confusion) or standing still next to a wall while getting machinegunned by archers. If anything the focus of graphics over substance is indicative of the CoD approach the Sega/CA are adopting post-Shogun. The lack of significant AI improvements is pathetic. I have tried many, many mods and put in a lot of hours in the hopes of this game being a worthwhile addition to the series, but nothing can repair this level of deficit. This will be my last Total War game, a sad thing coming from a fan of the series since Shogun I, as this game put the nail in the coffin for the series in tandem with RTW2 with the massive lack of substance and innovation, a poor parody of Barbarian Invasion to RTW I in this case. In the end I would recommend the EBII mod for MTW2 over this game, at least the EBII mod put some effort into the substance.… Expand

    Murky graphics combined with turgid gameplay make Total War: Attila an unfortunate disappointment. I had fun with Shogun 2. I did not have fun with Attila.

    Let's start with the graphics. Even on a high-resolution monitor, all of the terrain looks like it came out of the mid-1990s. Villages look more like a collection of mushrooms. Fortified cities look like a case of ringworm. The    Murky graphics combined with turgid gameplay make Total War: Attila an unfortunate disappointment. I had fun with Shogun 2.

    Let's start with the graphics. Even on a high-resolution monitor, all of the terrain looks like it came out of the mid-1990s. Villages look more like a collection of mushrooms. Fortified cities look like a case of ringworm. The forests and plains of Europe look like a badly-done miniatures wargame board with artificial flocking. There can be far more realistic, compelling landscape maps done in 2015. Everything on the screen, from faces to national symbols to text dialogue boxes looks a bit mushy.

    I'm not going to get into the tactical combat management because I loathe it. After you go through the tutorial, you need never have to watch your units flail around trying to find the enemy standing a few hundred yards away again. For years I've found the battlefield micromanagement of Total War to be tedious and unnecessary. Although I like the idea of battle management, I've never been impressed with how the system actually works. You create these wonderful lines of troops, you have this wing here and that wing there, and it all ends up smooshed together in the center regardless. Oh well. Plus, whatever I am doing tends to do worse than autoresolve would result in, so, whatever. Hence, I always auto-resolve battles. Thus to me, the only thing that is of interest in TW games is nation-building.

    There are some interesting possibilities for the political system, and I kind of like what they were trying to do with it, but all of that is buried under a hugely punishing system for basic economic growth, development and conquest.

    If you start as a small state, you are nearly constantly-starved for income to even conquer and hold one or two other cities before everything ends in financial ruin and rebellion. If you do conquer what you think of as a rich Roman city, the buildings are culture-specific, which means you can't use them. Thought you were going to conquer the world? Nope. You're stuck in debt with rebels spawning.

    Moreover, turns take forever to resolve cycling through all the nations. (And I thought Civ V was slow...)

    I kept trying to start over and over -- Was I missing something? What can I learn from my prior starts? But the turn delay. Oof!

    That's when I realized: I am not enjoying this regardless.

    Rated Meh for much better things to do instead.

    As a Roman empire you preside over a vast expense of towns and villages with mostly LEVEL 1 buildings. This rag tag empire has big problems keeping itself fed and keeping the order. All of your armies are crappy LEVEL 1 units. Looks like Rome managed to conquer the world using inferior troops. Then the barbarian armies crawal out from under the rocks. They don't have crappy level 1 troops, no sir, they got good troops and they got a lot of them. You need to fight them off. Autoresolve gives you no chance. The only thing you can do is park next to the arrow tower, activate defensive testudo and hope the tower kills enough enemies to break them. Masterpiece of strategy? More like ill concieved, unplayable garbage.
    And yes, now every miserable character, and you will have a lot of those has his miserable skills, that you need to click together and again and again and again. There is some lame family tree I don't care about, but the game will keep on reminding me to click their stuff around.
    Overall you fight an uphill battle against highly advanced and omnipresent "barbarians", together with the rebels and neighbors that want a piece of your inept empire.

    Dear developer: I'm sorry I've bought this game, mechanics are a bit better than Rome, but naval battles are a joke, tower mechanics are as crude as it gets and overall can you please lay off boring spies and heros and Crusader king like family tree that doesn't belong to a strategy game and give me something playable?

The custom battles as well are confusing as custom army setups seem to be ignored and generated automatically.

    It's a real shame because there were moments in the battles that I really enjoyed, but no where near as much as the earlier Total War games.

    Sad to see the franchise going this way.    … Expand

    The game is generally good. It has very interesting new unit types and features like the horde mode for some factions. The reason for the low score is simply because the game is unplayable with the crashes. I my self have only experienced the game breaking CTD when clicking the faction button far into a campaign. but I understand several other crashes have been reported as well

    Total war для лютых задротов.
    Разработчик сидел и думал как усложнить жизнь игроку прям на каждом элементе игры.
    В результате получился отстой в который могут играть только профи Тотал Вара.
    Остальным мимо.

    For the uninitiated, Total War: Attila does a good enough job introducing a very detailed world and mechanics.

    Creative Assembly needs to put extra effort into the making of the upcoming Total War: Warhammer so as not to lose the last vestiges of the studio’s credibility.

    Like the man himself, Attila is brutal, unforgiving and complex, and all the better for it. A triumph. [April 2015, p.68]
