I certainly don't expect the nastiest challenge I've ever had in hundreds and hundreds of hours of Toal War. Why in the world am I facing 4-8 stacks of high-level Huns so often on easy? When I play easy mode, I don't expect an overwhelming challenge. 135 turns in, and defeat is all but certain. The remaining three Hunnic armies are closing in on the heart of my little empire, and there's nothing left to stop them. I still see Attila alive on the diplomacy screen, so I know he didn't really die this time either. I managed to separate and defeat three Hunnic hordes, one of which belonged to Attila (whom I killed AGAIN), but my armies were nearly wiped out given the fact that the Huns never, ever route and seem to always fight to the death. This time I had three high-level spies attempt to assassinate him, and one of them succeeded-but he was only wounded again. And there was Attila AGAIN, leading from the front. A few turns after that, another six stacks of Huns arrived. This time I lost my northern-most province. again with Attila at the head of four stacks of high-level units. But only six or so turns later, the Huns returned. I retreated back to my small empire's interior to lick my (severe) wounds, thinking that I'd won the most critical and decisive battle of the campaign. I have never seen so many dead guys on a field. My faction leader, his heir, and one of my best generals all died in the carnage. Attila was "seriously wounded" but lived, though I still received the "Attila the Dead" achievement. I fought an absolutely cataclysmic battle against them (the largest and ugliest I've ever seen in a Total War game) in the mountains and managed to win. At the head of the nastiest stack was Attila himself. At that point, they marched in with eight (EIGHT) full stacks of armies stuffed with tier three units. This worked okay for a while, and I managed to fend off the Huns until 429. I stationed all of these armies on my borders in such a way that at least three could engage any threat. I built units until I could barely afford to build even one more. I built four full stacks of tier two and three units, including champions to add to their experience. I captured eight settlements around the Danube and the Carpathian Basin and relentlessly upgraded them. I started over, this time determined to do better. ![]() After about 50 turns of a boring stalemate, I abandoned the campaign. Eventually, I found myself smashed between the Eastern Romans, who absolutely refuse to come around to even a non-agression pact despite me throwing something in the neighborhood of 50k gold at them in gifts, and the Huns. On my first attempt, I settled in Carpathia and began to build. In Attila, easy feels pretty comparable to hard on other TW games.Īfter winning a game as the Huns, I've been playing the Ostrogoths. I'm not a fan of legendary because the AI cheats at that level. In most Total Wars, this leads to a nice easy win with maybe a couple of good battles. As I do with all Total Wars (I've played every single one since Medieval 2), I started on easy to get a good feel for the game's changes before ramping up the difficulty. Now, 45 or so hours in, I'm beginning to run into some serious problems. We know spam when we see it and will delete it.At first, I loved Total War: Attila.
