Not saying I am happy that Legend had a messy battle with the first battle done manually, but is is good to know even experienced legends such as Legend has those kinda battles that you just say "This battle is a ****ing mess" situation. Makes me feel a bit better about the mess battles I have
That one was so enjoyable as an spectator. A breath of fresh air from the classic somewhat cheesy "aganist the odds" battles we usually see from Legend. Quick and so intense.
You def arent the only one. Some times these battles just get out of hand . Lines break you get surrounded and theres just a blob of carnage before you know it
This is my campaign. Thanks legend for playing. Diplomatic penalty is due to breaking puppet state agreement with Sassanids. Tried expanding as a puppet but wasn't possible economically. 😊 Any chance Legend you can do a live with a new Lakhmid campaign?
From my personal experience Lakhmids are extremely boring and easy campaign. Plus iirc there is an event chain that keeps lowering either your PO or relations with Sassanids, if you keep pissing them off they will attack you themselves (no reputation malus).
With lakhmids try to get semitic paganism ( Best eastern religion since minor setrlemens give food) and play around defense, conquer arabia egypt and gg ez your elite units Based on religion are shyt anyway so semetic paganism is just waaay bettter
Attila is all about problem solving and more problems solving. It's a different kind of TW game. I know that legend isn't a big fan but I love it. If it didn't cheap out on difficulty with anti-player cheats it would be perfect imo.
This is honestly one of my favorite total war campaigns...ever, to be totally honest. It's such a zero to hero campaign that I don't think any other total war game has accomplished to such a degree. With the other bonuses of it being Atilla, one of the most ruthless campaign games, and it being a more personal bias of mine being a desert kingdom lol Never have I thought of the idea of just totally ditching Arabia right at the start of the campaign, that's interesting.
It's sad too see that they never fixed the bugs in this. There are a few settlements in the game where you have less buildslots (5/6 somewhere in Syria and 3/4 in Germany region) which triggered my OCD to no end. It also makes keeping them happy on legendary a bit of a challenge. The fertility mechanic is dumb (good thing there are mods for that). The "loss of tech" when you are playing Rome and are basically clawing your way up the research tree to survive and have the best tech in the world - sorry, it's a game mechanic (fixable with mods). The dumbest loyalty modifier for "promoting subordinate" when that subordinate general just had a few more battles in the time I appointed them both and you have to micromanage the whole system. The corruption which makes abandoning most of your empire to barbarians as Rome a viable strategy on legendary. The winter attrition for the player armies and no army tradition for Rome to counteract it. The dumb AI which has a trade agreement with you and top relations and then when you move your armies about 4-5 turns away they backstab you every time, making any diplomatic approach a useless waste of time. The immigration mechanic where if you keep taxes on high (one level below highest) you lose less public order than on lower tax settings, just due to immigration public order penalty. Half of the general trinkets don't work. No indication in the game that authority increases public order on governors or cunning reduces upkeep. The dumb harsh/kind(dont remember the exact names) traits for your ruler which affect your global public order and are basically random to get. The battles are really enjoyable in this, but the campaign is flawed.
@@swamplife3148 Oh yeah, that one was also great. Especially when you are stuck somewhere in the snowy hills pursuing the last army of some dumb horde faction just to be blocked, suffer 99% attrition and see their army come back to kill your ass with the 10 other AI factions that traveled half the world for you despite being at war with literally every other faction on earth. Good times. This is why I reinstalled the game multiple times and then abandon it after playing for about a day. I just get the flashbacks of all the annoying stuff in mid/late game and it saps all the fun out of the experience
Ive just read your comment while finishing legendary wre campaign vanilla, no mods. And i fully disagree with everything you said apart from bugs. These mechanics are what making this total war chapter special, add a different kind or complexity. Without those, starting with huge empire, skipping expansion phase, would bring zero difficulty and therefore zero interest playing.
TW Attila is like solving a Rubiks cube with some campaigns... and that's why I frikin love it. The majority of the other TWs are too simple & too easy.
A Rubik's cube has a set pattern you can generally follow to solve it 100% of the time. I also don't think the analogy really fits for Attila. Attila is neither too complex in mechanics, nor too simple. It merely has some parts that are annoying to deal with, and other parts that aren't. Shogun 2 is more simple, but is also harder as the Realm Divide is actually a lot harder than anything you'd deal with in Attila, since Huns are more an annoyance than a threat to me in all of my campaigns. Shogun 2 is also the only Total War game I do not play on the hardest difficulty for most of the time. Attila has a lot of things that would be more interesting if you had more ways to interact with it. For instance climate change has no way to mitigate it, there's no building that increases fertility to offset it's reduction, unless you're playing the Slavs, in which case you can just increase fertility with their religion building. Romans are also terribly designed in terms of progression. You advance down the tech tree only to lose crucial techs you start with. This would be less of an issue if they either replaced the buildings with less efficient versions, showing a loss of understanding older designs, or if you could simply not research the techs that cause you to lose the legacy techs. However you can't do that, eventually you will lose all of your access to building sanitation buildings, which means if you claim new territory and it doesn't have sanitation already built, too bad. Now most issues I have with Attila stem from the campaign side of things having several annoying aspects to it. Though mods do solve a lot of these issues. Attila has some things I like, for example, I like the politics, it's not as complex as Rome 2's but it also doesn't have nearly as much penalties as Rome 2's does. If you don't want to deal with it, you can mostly ignore it, though you really shouldn't ignore it. I like sieges in Attila more than a lot of other titles, sieges and settlement battles in Attila are fair and give you as a defender a good advantage without it being ridiculous. I can with potentially beat one or two full stacks with just a garrison if the situation is right (though sometimes you can't do anything, and it's just a matter of causing casualties to slow the enemy). I like that there's positives and negatives for most buildings to make you think about what to build. Though some buildings have penalties that far outweigh their benefits and as such you simply ignore those buildings even if you make a bit less money then you otherwise would. The limited build slots is a debatable thing as some people prefer Medieval 2 where you can mostly build everything, or have enough build slots to get all the good buildings like in some other titles. Whereas some people like the more limited aspect of these slots in Attila. I don't care too much either way, though certain regions having arbitrarily less build slots is utterly bizarre in my opinion. Most large settlements have 6, but some have 5, not sure why. Most minor settlements have 4, but some have 3, again, not sure why. I would prefer most every historical title to have actual population for the settlements rather than the arbitrary growth system, but that's just cause I prefer that. I also like family trees, so Attila has that and it's good to have. I prefer when diplomacy makes sense, which to be fair most total war games do not handle well. So Attila not having the AI try to haggle most times is annoying, but that's the case with most titles. 3k is the big exception though, it's diplomacy is very good. Other games after 3k usually at least have the option to balance the deal to see what you can get or offer to get said deal, which I like. Auto not telling you the result of the battle is annoying but I do not have a problem with it, I think auto being unreliable in terms of truly knowing the exact outcome is fair for taking the fast approach of clicking a single button. Though Attila has bad auto as you can basically spam spears and auto most fights easily. I don't normally do that because I usually play head to head with another person and so my armies are balanced to ensure that I have experienced units when I do fight against the other player. Final annoying thing is the AI is utterly cowardly in how it fights, it runs away most of the time, and has no interest in actually beating you, it just wants to annoy you. Most titles have this problem as well, but some are more noticeable than others. And these are my thoughts on Attila, overall I have mixed feelings, with mods it's pretty good, but it has problems, though so do most games, just depends on if you can accept them or not.
oh wow the overview map is the most beautiful map I have seen in Total War and pretty much any other game! Also very well played Legend, makes me want to give Attila another chance!
Legend! You're the best man. I love the attitude, the jokes, you're precise restructuring of campaigns....And of course the cheese🤤 You really know you're stuff. Take care bro!
As someone with countless hours in total war franchise, it’s interesting to see other players mistake and how to fix. Most of the time I never had trouble in a campaign, the only one that had me sweating was Rome 2 empire divided Armenia campaign. It is baptism by fire as you can either choose to remain Sassanid satrap and get dragged into countless wars, or declare independence and get dragged into countless wars. Really made me understand the history and struggles of my people firsthand!
Ah yes... Total war Attila... The game where the AI can do basically whatever they whant without worring about anything financialy wise... Edit: Jesus, I didn't wanna start that big of a debate...
@@mattvonel4039 700 hours, 5 completed campings on VH. Never felt AI is more overpowered than in other games. About anti-player bias it's just ridiculous. Compared to, for example, Shogun 2, AI factions in Attila don't unite with each other trying to wipe player out. Although I love Shogun 2, the AI in this game is incomparably more evil towards player, than in Attila. But nobody speaks about it. People just repeat Legend's word about scary biased Attila. Yes, on difficulties above medium AI never has problems with money and public order. But is the situation in Rome 2, Shogun 2 and warhammer different? I've never seen AI surrering from the luck of money in this games. But biased and anti-player here is only Attila, of course!
@@Craftworld_patriot The thing is Atilla mechanics are extremly punishing. And the AI is not effected by it. Yes in Shogun 2, everyone will declare war on you, but your econmics are not effected.
rule no 1 in playing near the edge of the map (esp with volatile empires waiting to collapse, and opposing cultures ready to form blocs against each other) conquer your corner of the map. in the case of desert kingdoms, conquer ethiopea and arabian peninsula as your first step to empire building.
100% he declared war on the sassanids, you start off as a client state of the sassanid empire, and they have alot of allies, declaring war on them early on is suicide.
When I intend to Subjugate a Settlement/faction (making the faction a Puppet State) I just siege there one and only settlement and there's a "high chance" when you offer a peace treaty while maintaining a blockade or a siege there will be willing to be a puppet state to your faction, then your army/navy will have no causalties, this is just base on my experience.
Not sure it's the right niche but if anyone's interested in Migration Era warfare from a PhD in Medieval history AND a TW modder I strongly recommend Schwerpunkt
@@Kestrel-777 it is literally a bot account it and another few bot accounts comment on every one of Legends videos in annoying similar but slightly different ChatGPT sentence variations.
I like how challenging the province building system is in this game. You need a good understanding of the game mechanics to balance food, public order, squalor, religion, income and then find a spare slot for military production. There were so many cry babies after this game launched, then we got Thrones of Britannia next with a very dumbed down building system. CA redeemed them selves with 3K because that game had much better province building, but not as challenging as Attila. In a lot of ways Attila was the peak of this franchise. 3K fixed a lot of other stuff though, like diplomacy and engine optimisation. Also the Wu Xing balance system was genius.
Most people would say the franchise peaked at Medieval 2 or Shogun 2, but that's just popular opinion. I think it's good to have negatives and positives for buildings, but they need to be reasonable and balanced, Attila has some buildings that just aren't worth building at all even some of them may give you lots of money. Also the climate change mechanic for the campaign is kinda stupid, firstly there's no historical record of the time period experiencing a massive cold shift from what I could find. And secondly, most factions have no means to combat or reduce it's penalties. It just applies across the map evenly despite the fact desert region would probably be better if they cooled down a little. The only faction that can combat climate change is the Slavs, who're a dlc culture. And then you have the Romans who get shafted due to the loss of legacy tech which means late game they have no sanitation in newly acquired regions, unless the AI thought to build sanitation. Limited build slots is hit or miss for some people, I don't mind one way or the other, except that some regions have arbitrarily less build slots for no given reason, most major settlements have 6, but some can only have 5, most minor settlements have 4, but some only have 3. Which annoys me. I also prefer population as a system, rather than growth, at least for historical games, population wouldn't work quite as well in Warhammer due to races have vastly different population numbers in lore, Skaven would number in untold billions, while Dwarfs and Elves would only number in the tens of thousands. Attila has problems, some of which are easily fixed by mods, and I do like that. Some are not, but eh. Every game has issues. I wish that some bugs would've been fixed, but I could say the same for other games, like 3k. Now that one, that's a real tragedy. So much potential wasted because of the bad dlc it had shortly after launch. Which don't get me wrong 3k has it's own problems, formations don't look right, crossbows don't behave right, elephants are broken when used by a player, tigers are broken period (mostly due to how other units interact, or rather don't interact with the actual tigers for the most part). Units take too long to properly brace in order to counter cav. AI pathing when they're attacking a city can be botched, and lead to a slideshow as the frame rate dies. But so much of this could've easily been fixed had CA not abandoned the game. Mods can fix some of these things but not all. Really I just want CA to listen to their community with these games. Total War has the potential to have amazing games in it, it just requires better foresight and management. I play both fantasy and historical, I just like Total War in general, but they need to handle these games well. Historical games need to play in a certain way, you can have a romance mode for some of them, I think it's fine, but you can't neglect proper balance and polish.
@@darkrite9000 Yes, these games could be amazing if they were more mod able. Shogun 2 was the only one that I didn’t feel like I needed mods to play. But I don’t enjoy that game anymore which Is weird because it was once my favourite. It think it’s the UI that I don’t like the most. When in battle I want to clearly see which class of unit is which. I can’t tell WTF is going on in Shogun 2. Rome 2 kind of has the same ugly banners. They are so unhelpful for me to differentiate the units. Attila, 3k and Troy have much improved battle UI. Each game does have its pros and cons. Rome Remastered is my least favourite. There’s not much about it that’s appealing to me.
@@lateralus6512 I don't have as much issue with the banners in Shogun 2, but I don't really like the double line of unit cards when you have two armies in battle, it somehow feels harder to organize and effectively see than the single line of thinner unit cards. I do however think that sometimes it can be hard to tell what's going on. I for the most part enjoy most total war games modded, Shogun 2 and Medieval 2 are the only ones I could play vanilla for a long while, but after spending so long on Shogun 2 vanilla I usually use mods for it too now.
I wonder if the player was trying to do a "This is Total War" Playtrought and then backpedalled after seeing that the situation as going out of control because aside from that i have no idea how to explain this mess
maybe you have already found out during the video, but desert factions (like lakhmids) have more negative PO from other religions (i think double). Also for whatever reason they converted to zoroastrism, which is minority religion in basically all their holdings, which does not help the PO either
Well hard to say with how the campaign may have gone up to that point. Zoroastrism is the religion of Sassanids so they might have converted because of Sassanids spreading that to them since they start next to them. And depending on what they where doing, they may have expanded into roman lands a bit later, regardless even their starting religion wouldn't have been the majority in all the regions they claimed. Though they've clearly converted a long while ago to have not only built several buildings for the Zoroastrism religion, but also have several high level magus' around.
i heard the claim ai focuses player a lot its absolute bullcrap. ai just takes the path of least resistance and guess what player is pretty much always the path of least resistance on higher difficulties. having a smarter ai than previous titles seems to have tilted a lot people
I use Ayaka in my Xinqiu+Kuki+Nahida team. It's my crowd control with my super supports, as she can apply the blooms and keep enemies in place with xinqiu Q, while she gets attack dmg from nahida Thrilling Tales. Also she is really good at taking down electro shields with her dash strikes, and love her vs Raiden boss in that comp.
Legend in 407AD: "Aah. It's because of Judaism" "yeah. that one definitely causes a lot of problems." "But that'll go away over time" *Me in 2023 looking at the Middle East* (This is a joke. The premise of the joke takes advantage of a widespread sentiment which I do NOT share)
Ahh Attila Total War, I'd care if the game could run above 30 fps half the time on a PC that runs Rome 2 and Warhammer 2 at 60fps consistently. What a total waste of a game, I can't even play it and I wasted $60 on it and the DLC for Charlemagne. People say it's a good TW game but I'll basically never find out how it is because it runs so fuck awful. I tried changing some settings in the files, tried lowering it to as low as I can stomach the graphics, it still runs like a crashed car.
problem with CPU most of the time. Try decrease units size (max is 160). Rome 2 and Waha2 buggy at the end too when you take half the map and in ATTILA u start as the global empire waiting to die)
@@Saloman4ik It is certainly a CPU issue, I'll try it, as much as I do not want to. I know I've read it doesn't utilize the multi-core systems and that's the major issue with it's performance. Now it may for some systems but it certainly is every bit as horrible in performance on my system as I feared. I knew it had issues when I bought it but hoped my system wouldn't get the perf issues. And at worse I assumed it'd at least stay above 40fps and I could deal with it. But it literally drops below 30fps in any battle above like 30 units total and it is horrible.
This faction starts as a satrap of the Sassinids and had to break that treaty to be able declare wars//expand. That's why he's unreliable.
You can break free turn 2 by migrating.
Event chain of Sassanids being mean to you can lead to guilt-free liberation war.
Raiding doesn't give you any unreliability, just raid your own liege and annoy them enough to make them declare on you instead 🤣

100% he declared war on the sassanids, you start off as a client state of the sassanid empire, and they have alot of allies, declaring war on them early on is suicide.
When I intend to Subjugate a Settlement/faction (making the faction a Puppet State) I just siege there one and only settlement and there's a "high chance" when you offer a peace treaty while maintaining a blockade or a siege there will be willing to be a puppet state to your faction, then your army/navy will have no causalties, this is just base on my experience.
50:10 switching catapults between armies also fucks you movement range sometimes
Not sure it's the right niche but if anyone's interested in Migration Era warfare from a PhD in Medieval history AND a TW modder I strongly recommend Schwerpunkt
DONT UPVOTE THIS FUCKING BOT!
Doing God's work recommending him here.
@@Kestrel-777 it is literally a bot account it and another few bot accounts comment on every one of Legends videos in annoying similar but slightly different ChatGPT sentence variations.
@@Kestrel-777someone please remind me us this later when I'm home
I love playing as that faction, yeah as stated before you need to declare war on the sasanids in order to do how you please
When we are happy to see an episode of Attila TW ... you know CA done bad.
Windcatchers are honestly goated
Love watching you play this brutal game.
I like how challenging the province building system is in this game. You need a good understanding of the game mechanics to balance food, public order, squalor, religion, income and then find a spare slot for military production. There were so many cry babies after this game launched, then we got Thrones of Britannia next with a very dumbed down building system. CA redeemed them selves with 3K because that game had much better province building, but not as challenging as Attila. In a lot of ways Attila was the peak of this franchise. 3K fixed a lot of other stuff though, like diplomacy and engine optimisation. Also the Wu Xing balance system was genius.
Most people would say the franchise peaked at Medieval 2 or Shogun 2, but that's just popular opinion. I think it's good to have negatives and positives for buildings, but they need to be reasonable and balanced, Attila has some buildings that just aren't worth building at all even some of them may give you lots of money. Also the climate change mechanic for the campaign is kinda stupid, firstly there's no historical record of the time period experiencing a massive cold shift from what I could find. And secondly, most factions have no means to combat or reduce it's penalties. It just applies across the map evenly despite the fact desert region would probably be better if they cooled down a little. The only faction that can combat climate change is the Slavs, who're a dlc culture. And then you have the Romans who get shafted due to the loss of legacy tech which means late game they have no sanitation in newly acquired regions, unless the AI thought to build sanitation. Limited build slots is hit or miss for some people, I don't mind one way or the other, except that some regions have arbitrarily less build slots for no given reason, most major settlements have 6, but some can only have 5, most minor settlements have 4, but some only have 3. Which annoys me. I also prefer population as a system, rather than growth, at least for historical games, population wouldn't work quite as well in Warhammer due to races have vastly different population numbers in lore, Skaven would number in untold billions, while Dwarfs and Elves would only number in the tens of thousands.
Attila has problems, some of which are easily fixed by mods, and I do like that. Some are not, but eh. Every game has issues. I wish that some bugs would've been fixed, but I could say the same for other games, like 3k. Now that one, that's a real tragedy. So much potential wasted because of the bad dlc it had shortly after launch. Which don't get me wrong 3k has it's own problems, formations don't look right, crossbows don't behave right, elephants are broken when used by a player, tigers are broken period (mostly due to how other units interact, or rather don't interact with the actual tigers for the most part). Units take too long to properly brace in order to counter cav. AI pathing when they're attacking a city can be botched, and lead to a slideshow as the frame rate dies. But so much of this could've easily been fixed had CA not abandoned the game. Mods can fix some of these things but not all. Really I just want CA to listen to their community with these games. Total War has the potential to have amazing games in it, it just requires better foresight and management. I play both fantasy and historical, I just like Total War in general, but they need to handle these games well. Historical games need to play in a certain way, you can have a romance mode for some of them, I think it's fine, but you can't neglect proper balance and polish.
@@darkrite9000 Yes, these games could be amazing if they were more mod able. Shogun 2 was the only one that I didn’t feel like I needed mods to play. But I don’t enjoy that game anymore which Is weird because it was once my favourite. It think it’s the UI that I don’t like the most. When in battle I want to clearly see which class of unit is which. I can’t tell WTF is going on in Shogun 2. Rome 2 kind of has the same ugly banners. They are so unhelpful for me to differentiate the units. Attila, 3k and Troy have much improved battle UI.
Each game does have its pros and cons. Rome Remastered is my least favourite. There’s not much about it that’s appealing to me.
@@lateralus6512 I don't have as much issue with the banners in Shogun 2, but I don't really like the double line of unit cards when you have two armies in battle, it somehow feels harder to organize and effectively see than the single line of thinner unit cards. I do however think that sometimes it can be hard to tell what's going on. I for the most part enjoy most total war games modded, Shogun 2 and Medieval 2 are the only ones I could play vanilla for a long while, but after spending so long on Shogun 2 vanilla I usually use mods for it too now.
"leg Total War here" - youtube subtitles.
I love you going back to doing alot of historical
My guess: he pissed off the Sassanids by breaking away lol don't the Lakhmids start as a vassal
Yes you are right with that bro, so thats why he got the untrustworthy pentalty
I wonder if the player was trying to do a "This is Total War" Playtrought and then backpedalled after seeing that the situation as going out of control because aside from that i have no idea how to explain this mess
Do you ever think that, if you were born 1000 years ago, youd have wept for there were no more lands to conquer? 🤔
What a strange thing to call THAT particular place 😂
Sassanid empire has a real hard pain against white huns!
that's a fun faction tbh
5:00 when you subjugate a fraction, it should get an army in their settlement. Why did this not happen here?
Tthis is my average atilla experience
Leave it to Legend to save an empire via brothels
"judaism- get rid of that" lool
17:52 a bug in a 8 year old CA game who could've seen that coming
You should of used steady buff on the desert spears in the first battle huge buff against calvery charges.
i a am personnaly impatient to be the 23rd of december, new mod called fireforged empire released on steam for attila
My boi thought he was Khalid ibn al walid
I really like this game
maybe you have already found out during the video, but desert factions (like lakhmids) have more negative PO from other religions (i think double). Also for whatever reason they converted to zoroastrism, which is minority religion in basically all their holdings, which does not help the PO either
Well hard to say with how the campaign may have gone up to that point. Zoroastrism is the religion of Sassanids so they might have converted because of Sassanids spreading that to them since they start next to them. And depending on what they where doing, they may have expanded into roman lands a bit later, regardless even their starting religion wouldn't have been the majority in all the regions they claimed. Though they've clearly converted a long while ago to have not only built several buildings for the Zoroastrism religion, but also have several high level magus' around.
Based on my experience, it isn’t due to a unique trait specific to the desert factions but rather a trait specific to the religions they follow.
"Yeah that [Judaism] causes a lot of problems."
Guys can you recommend a channel or something that will help me get started with this game. Thank you
least laggy attila gameplay
nice
it feels like this person did this on purpose to see what you would do. Especially with all the fake wars.
Those wars were probably just from being unreliable. People not even close to you will declare war if your reliability is low.
More Attila videos!👍🏻
Standard shots are much more accurate from artillery
i heard the claim ai focuses player a lot its absolute bullcrap. ai just takes the path of least resistance and guess what player is pretty much always the path of least resistance on higher difficulties. having a smarter ai than previous titles seems to have tilted a lot people
Oh nah 😭😭
Watching these videos on a phone is extremely hard due to insane resolution. Everything is just too small and unintelligible.
If this were sent to me i would simply say start again. Hahaha man if you are normal player just stick to normal difficulty , don’t torture yourself
BUDDY I MADE IT I WON THE RACE
I use Ayaka in my Xinqiu+Kuki+Nahida team. It's my crowd control with my super supports, as she can apply the blooms and keep enemies in place with xinqiu Q, while she gets attack dmg from nahida Thrilling Tales. Also she is really good at taking down electro shields with her dash strikes, and love her vs Raiden boss in that comp.
Stay off drugs
its not Genshin you Baka!

53:10 Judaism causing public order problems? Say it ain't so.
"Oh my god, he's antisemitic" xD
You could have made peace with Armenia
i am here
Legend in 407AD:
"Aah. It's because of Judaism"
"yeah. that one definitely causes a lot of problems."
"But that'll go away over time"

(This is a joke. The premise of the joke takes advantage of a widespread sentiment which I do NOT share)
Ahh Attila Total War, I'd care if the game could run above 30 fps half the time on a PC that runs Rome 2 and Warhammer 2 at 60fps consistently. What a total waste of a game, I can't even play it and I wasted $60 on it and the DLC for Charlemagne. People say it's a good TW game but I'll basically never find out how it is because it runs so fuck awful. I tried changing some settings in the files, tried lowering it to as low as I can stomach the graphics, it still runs like a crashed car.
It is so strange than attila run as shit for some people whereas i never had a problem with it
problem with CPU most of the time. Try decrease units size (max is 160).
Rome 2 and Waha2 buggy at the end too when you take half the map and in ATTILA u start as the global empire waiting to die)
@@Saloman4ik It is certainly a CPU issue, I'll try it, as much as I do not want to. I know I've read it doesn't utilize the multi-core systems and that's the major issue with it's performance. Now it may for some systems but it certainly is every bit as horrible in performance on my system as I feared. I knew it had issues when I bought it but hoped my system wouldn't get the perf issues. And at worse I assumed it'd at least stay above 40fps and I could deal with it. But it literally drops below 30fps in any battle above like 30 units total and it is horrible.
first lol
Early
You heard it here first. Legend supports Palestine 😂
