Total War: Attila

[Lt_Anders]

Only for the AI, Hunnic armies definitely cost upkeep for the player

Wut. Really...Can't make a balanced AI, so have to make them cheat to be good. Sigh.

[Mr_Oujamaflip]

Doesn't every game do that in one way or another?

There's really no other way to make Huns the threat they should be other than cheating.

No, no. There is.

You can't, as a player NOT huns, kill them off. The huns have, as AI, NO Upkeep, aswell as spawning hordes. I'm allied to everyone in the steppe zones, and I've spent most of the game counting and following Hunnic Hordes to merc them and they are pulling them out their ass in the middle of the steppe.

So:
A) Spawning them(cause Attila has spawned)
B) They have some kinda camp hiding in the steppes just pumping troops, yet none of their armies in Europe get replenished(which they should if they have a camp)

Only 2 possible options. B) seems unlikely based on what I've seen. (it's very possible, that the AI is gettting them spawned, probably every time i "kill" attila.)

Had my first crash today too. Took a settlement, and then BLACK SCREEN and a non-responsive game.

only thing that i ever modified in total war was in meieval 2 total war i unlocked all nations to be able to play them, otherwise its just lame. Why people play game if they dont want to play the game?

I always enjoyed  the battles in TW, never really cared about the whole map thing tbh.
And just doing random battles is boring cuz it lacks at least the tiny bit of background that I need to enjoy it.

[darmaster]

yes trainer are cool but not as cool as it was with the previous command consoles; tho this one i have to say has some pretty good trainers (mr antifun, as always, the best)

This is how it's always been handled in the Total War series. Even the by community consensus most balanced mod campaigns maps rely heavily on spawning stacks where applicable. I used to share your sentiment but until we see a revolution in AI this is the best option.

But sure, the Huns are a special case, just like the Timurids in MTWII; a design choice to force at least some historicity - you are not really meant to try to stem the tide but rather adapt. I learned this the hard way in Medieval with my Turkish Empire, where I simply had to give up my heartland and move west.

Few things i've noticed. Cavalry suck against ranged. I drop some cavalry in the faces of some ranged I expect some serious damage. It takes forever to rout them and then they just come back.

If my guys rout then they usually shatter immediately. Enemies don't.

Food seems really erratic, I went from +600 food to -200 in 3 turns, how is this even possible? I lost 3 settlements in that time and didnt build anything, seemed random as shit.

Legio in defensive testudo will hold forever.

Towers collapsing is stupid as they just fall over. Even stone ones. Against random archers.

You're playing ERE sounds like.

First off, Scout Equites suck. Gotta use them more as a flanking force, and killing off lone range units. Both mainline infantry ERE units are gods at taking a defensive position. Learn to camp, literally. Nothing short of the crossbow/catapults break their defensive testudo. Towers are weak as shit, unless it's a teir 3 city.  As a ERE player, you need to literally, play camp the cities to make the most of your units(or camp forts). Huns will murder you in an open battle.

Sassanids are weak, save for their cavalry.(their bows are good, but not as good against the roman units in general) Try to keep your Fronts somewhat flexible, but as static as possible to force the AI into kill zones.

As for food: the seasons change the amount of food. Autumn has the highest while winter the lowest with spring/summer kinda in the middle.

Also been raided costs you food in that province. Anywere upto 100 food from my experience, so if its your food hub.. defend it.
