Attila: Total War

[Sir Slash]

Another new video showing the new Diplomacy and Politics features. This game is starting to look better than Selma Hayek carrying a plate of hotwings and a keg.  http://twcenter.net

^Come now...nothing looks that good.

Is the video worth watching?

BTW I pre-ordered the game through the VIP Green Man Gaming section yesterday for ~35.99...the deal should still be on for anyone interested. Don't pretend you're not.

[SirAndrewD]

Yeah, the video is worth watching.

Sort of makes me mad that Rome II didn't have these features though.

I am still debating whether to pre purchase or not, still have 3 months before release and guessing we'll see some additional price breaks before then.  Does look good though so who knows:)

That all sounded so rational.  I especially liked the tutiliage of retainers feature!  Not a hint of infantile bombast!  the Tutiliage must be working!

[Sir Slash]

Damn right I'm interested for $36. Thanks for the tip Gus. Hope you get a VIP cut.

Pre ordered as per your tip! Thank you, sir!

I live to serve. Have you seen the developers' YouTube video on politics, diplomacy, etc? It's here in case you haven't:

[Yskonyn]

Yes I have! Crusader Kings-light in TW! Yummy!

[Gusington]

I thought the same thing...the campaign map and all the overlays are making the strategic part of the game look a lot like CKII.

It's looking really nice...and the strategy map finally gives all the information i want/need.

[Gusington]

Yeah...looks like they have been taking UI design cues from the Paradox CKII team.

[Nefaro]

I dunno.  Much of it still reminds me of the R2TW interface, but they (thankfully) improved it both mechanically and aesthetically.

The only part that resembles CK2 is the circular symbols, instead of the old flags, on the map view.

[Yskonyn]

Well, Nef, characters relations never mattered in TW before... In Atilla they seems to matter for the first time. That was my CK2 reference.  :)
