It’s not just about fighting: Attila is game of politics, feasting, famine, desolation, and migration, set during one of the most fragile and fascinating periods of history-Europe still feels like a unformed concept, ready to be shaped or smashed as you see fit. Attila is the first successful attempt to weave these stories into the game itself. The most characterful moments from classic Total War games usually happen organically-the brave mercenary army on the edge of your empire, the feckless offspring of crusading generals.
