ATTILA TOTAL WAR CHANGE CAPITAL SERIES

That вЂpikeвЂ™ detail is quite important too, IвЂ™ve never been especially good fighting against pike units the key is to use ranged forces against their weak armour, but if that first battle at Trimontium taught me anything, itвЂ™s that I need more ranged forces on the whole, because the Visigoths love their pikes. IвЂ™m going to have to play damage control with these invaders for a little while until my Greek army can resupply and grow to a point where I feel comfortable sending them against pike-wielding tribesmen.

Not a great start, but somewhat expected. I end the turn only to be instantly attacked by two fairly large Visigoth horde armies, who besiege and plunder the town of Trimontium in northern Greece. To my displeasure, the Visigoths are already raiding me. So I sort out my governors, merge some of my armies into larger forces (thereby saving a little cash) and scout out the enemies that are already in my lands.ДЄ quick snapshot of my capital circa 395AD

At the moment, IвЂ™m only making around 4000 coin per turn not bad, but given the size of my lands thereвЂ™s a lot of room for improvement. The more rebellious regions are actually scattered rather annoyingly throughout my lands, so I get to work starting on some new buildings that should help ease unrest and also give the Empire a little cash injection. ItвЂ™s a little overwhelming at first, so I take the time to look through each settlement, and note where my trouble points could be and in what regions I should focus my initial resources. The Eastern Roman Empire is a complete monolith by this point, with lands stretching from Greece and the Balkans to the Middle East and North Africa. Yet as things develop IвЂ™ll start to spread out the diary entries between turns, taking in a more general look at how my campaign is going. The diary will start off slow, looking at the game turn by turn. I know it's nothing amazing, but I don't want to write 50 of these things. A minor victory in 425AD is my overall goal. IвЂ™ll let no barbarian hordes into my land willingly, and certainly wonвЂ™t let them settle. I want to reverse the events of history and make the Eastern Empire a much less immigration-friendly society. Primarily, I must hold on to Constantinople (or Constantinopolis as itвЂ™s named in the game), losing my capital to an outside force results in instant failure.

In my reign as Eastern Roman Emperor (or rather, the EmperorвЂ™s omniscient advisor) IвЂ™ve got a few goals that I want to achieve/maintain in an effort to give this series a bit of focus: The Eastern Roman Empire at the start of the game. Considering IвЂ™m playing on very hard, and the faction difficulty is also very hard, IвЂ™d wager it probably isnвЂ™t going to go well at all. In short: thereвЂ™s certainly no guarantee that this campaign is going to go well. IвЂ™ve only played Atilla for around 30 hours though, most of which was in one campaign, which means IвЂ™m not overly familiar with everything the game has to offer. To give a bit of perspective: IвЂ™m a long, long-time Total War player with hundreds of hours in each game, so IвЂ™ve got a fair bit of experience. This is the first in a series of articles in which IвЂ™ll be following my journey through a new Atilla campaign, IвЂ™ll be playing as the Eastern Roman Empire for the first time. ItвЂ™s a grand story, and a story that IвЂ™ll be discovering once more, with the help of Total War: Attila. Even the more persistent Eastern Empire eventually evolves to a point where itвЂ™s unrecognisable from the toga-wearing, testudo-forming culture of the great Roman era. We all know the story, right? Bursting at the seams, the once mighty Roman Empire slowly but surely falls into disarray. Of course, the Western Roman Empire has got it much worse, as the Eastern Empire is both better located and better administered. All the while, internal troubles are tearing each nation down from the inside.

The Empire has been split in two and both East and West are struggling to hold back the hordes of вЂbarbariansвЂ™ knocking at the gates. Articles // 10th Jul 2015 - 6 years ago // By Ryan Davies Holding Back the Hordes in Total War: Attila - PartВ 1
