Now, I shout the praises of great mods from a megaphone and expect that mods will undoubtedly extend the life of many of my favourite strategy titles well past that of the vanilla version.

#ROME 2 VS ATILLA MOD#

When I was younger, I used to believe that a game was complete when it came out of the box.В Then one day I stumbled onto the mod scene for Total War: Medieval II and ever since then what was once sacred has become profane. One of my personal favourites in the series is Total War: Attila, and itвЂ™s great to see how its mod scene has fermented in the years since release. As such, it makes sense to step back from the hustle-and-bustle of Creative AssemblyвЂ™s newest release and take a look instead at whatвЂ™s available for the studioвЂ™sВ other mainline historical strategy games. Attila is an amazing game too though, it's really just what you enjoy.A gameвЂ™s mod scene is like a fine wine: it becomes ever more refined with age. I prefer painting the map and crushing Gauls, Germans, Numidians, Parthians, Greeks, Iberians, and Egyptians under the heel of legionaries. Siege mechanics are better than in Rome 2, and the survival atmosphere is very unique to strategy games. I think the concept is really cool and it's honestly a great game, but I find myself getting depressed after playing it too long - the music, difficult settlement management, and art style are all so drab they really wear down on you. It's also still getting regular attention from CA, while Attila is not.ДЄttila is a slugfest as you fight to survive in a grim, dark world. It also has DeI, one of the most comprehensive and impressive mods for a total war game. With DLC you can fight anywhere from the height of Ancient Greece to the 3rd century AD. It's simpler than Attila, and in a more interesting (imo) time period.

Rome 2 is about building up an empire and conquering a plethora of different cultures all over the map full of vibrant and rich colors. I would still see what others have to say about which game they prefer, but I hope this helps. I probably could add a few other factors to go over but this is really all I could think of at the moment.

Further content for Rome II has been announced, where Attila seems to be done at the moment, probably due to less of a player base and ToB development. Attila utilizes the family tree, where Rome II is based on solely on political parties. Honorable Mentions: Attila is at 4 turns per year, while Rome II is at 1 turn per year. Mods - Rome II - Rome II just has more mods available than Attila.

Attila still has optimization issues, especially on older systems. Performance - Rome II - while Rome II had one of the worst launches in series history, it has been fixed drastically to where it runs pretty well. Remember, Attila's campaign is more about survival, while Rome II's campaign is about conquest. Rome II can still be fun, but you do tend to steamroll more around turn 50. (DLC is factored in to my opinions for this)Д¬hallenge: Attila - Attila's campaigns provide way more challenge than Rome II's, and give you that unique approach in preventing collapse for WRE and ERE. Rome II has this issue with Hellenistic factions as well, but I think they are at least more spread out to where it seems less noticeable.

Rome II did get more interesting the Politics update though.ДЇaction Variety: Rome II slightly - Attila does have a good selection of units from different cultures, but a lot of the Germanic faction play very similarly to one another. Multiplayer: Rome II - Solely based on the fact that there is more of a player base for Rome II than Attila.Д¬ampaign Mechanics: Attila - With the addition of hordes and the option to destroy settlements, Attila gives you more ways to approach your campaign than Rome II, which has every faction really achieve the same goal. Since I am in the middle of playing both games, I will list aspects that in my opinion shows what the games excel or lack.Д¬ampaign in general: Even - Both have fun campaigns especially with the DLC packs that give you tons of hours to sink into.
