Welcome! Here you'll find Total War content, with a focus on showcasing and celebrating mods. Total War Mods Weekly is the ongoing series, where we look at some of the most interesting mods out there for ROME II. Occasionally other games & topics make appearances on the channel as well. Remember to be kind to others in the comments, we play games to have fun and relax first and foremost.

I started the series with Medieval 1, and I've played them all except for Thrones of Britannia. I love both Historical & Fantasy TW. I was hesitant at first, but Warhammer won me over with its over-the-top setting and charm. This channel is a haven for history and fantasy folks alike to share their experiences with a game series that helped inspire my lifelong passion for history.

    Yeah Attila is absolute GOAT in atmosphere but I want to point on Teutonic campaing in Medieval 2, especially on soundtrack. Where other campaing has pretty wide spectrum of sounds (Britania has celtic wibes, Crusaders have Kingdom of Heaven inspiration, Americas have a precolumbian vibe) the Teutonic campaing have practically only grim sounds. I mean even intro in this campaing is pretty despering (we summon demon and must deal with it now vibe). Victory theme always cheerful and lively here is grim and sad (we are victorious but what change this?). Pre-battle theme in teutonic campaing is also different, something like apocalipse is now and no matter what happend now is doesnt matter, we are die anyway but our honour demand to stand here and fight. Personally this is my favourite (even if Attila objectively do it better )

    "Clicks like, watches the video" I have the game but never played it (won it on a ruffle!) and I guess it suffers from the same as other TWs I have "some" interest for. And that is Rome 2 and Warhammer 2/3. When I fancy TW is either Rome 2 for historical (unbeatable age and location in my opinion, diversity only matched by WH) or Warhammer 1/2 if I fancy the magics and monsters. I did play a single campaign of Troy that was super long and fun because I had been in Sardinia on holiday visiting a crap tone of bronze age stuff and come back all hyped about it 😂 Same goes for Shougun 2 and 3K... some day maybe is just... Rome II is the one for me <3

    Most people will disagree with this, but I strongly believe that Attila has more variety in it's campaign than TWW does. Take, for example, WRE, Sassanids, Veneds, Ostgoths, Alans, Franks and Huns (sorry if I wrote something wrong). Each one of this faction has absolutely unique campaigns. Their initial challenges are completely different, their goals are completely different. In each of these campaigns you as a player will think about completely different things. As Franks you will decide how to grab as much roman territory as possible without getting overwhelmed with public order issues and lack of finances to rebuild stuff (or instead you can expand into German lands, becoming roman ally and protector of the Empire's borders, which is absolutely different experience). As Goth you will decide how to settle your tribe without getting killed in a couple of turns. As WRE you will try your best to protect your huge empire (unless you're a pussy who abandons Roman lands into barbarian hands!), whereas as a slavic faction you will stand your ground in 1-2 settlements against hordes of Huns. And when you think you've tried everything in this game, you will learn the Dark Cult exists. And you will try to get it as any of the faction and spread it across the ancient world, which is funny as hell. Each of these campaigns demands different strategy and approach, but all of them gives unique experience

    Attila is my favorite of the Total War series. Although, it must be pointed out that Atilla was Germanic/Gothic/Barbarian, and definitely NOT Mongolian/Asian. (His name is of Germanic origin, he is depicted as Caucasian in all the earliest artwork, and he was born north of the Danube River, which is Eastern Europe😆)

Eventually, i got Attila and Rome II for a combine $30 in the deal and its probably the greatest gaming investment i ever did. Still play DEI and vanilla Attila alot.

    They need to come in as a focused force. Having their stacks scatter like sticks in the wind after they spawn makes them feel less like a massive invasion and more like a bunch of random armies. I know they said that they're reworking the Sea Peoples and the Land Peoples in the incoming map expansion. We'll see what they do.

It's what most people recognise as Vikings, therefore it gives the feel of Vikings.

    I was an addict of TW from the very beginning all the way until Rome II, then I've patiently waited until Pharoah came along. Warhammer was a dismay for me (and we got THREE of them before Medieval 3? Or Americas? Or Empire 2? Seriously?!?!?!) I’ve always wondered if I should pick up Attila, or give the SAGAs a chance. Open to suggestion. But anyway, Pharoah has been a welcome return after so many...weird...moves, that honestly, I'm enjoying it for what it is and looking forward to an expanded map with more factions.

    Attila is really good, but if bad performance and log turn times are a deal breaker for you, then avoid it. Total War Saga Troy is good, but it's overpriced for what you're getting with just the base game. Mythos is great, but again, it's WAY overpriced ($25 lol). I refunded Thrones of Britannia. Just too bare bones and felt like a glorified Attila DLC.
