Total War: Attila
Total War: Attila is relatively new addition to the Total War franchise that is set in the great steppes of the East where a warrior king is rallying up a massive army that would sweep across continents, burning cities as they go. In this game, you play as the commander of western Roman empire whose territories are coming under attack from both outside and inside. Starting with vast swathes of land, your hold over what's left of a crumbling Roman empire will gradually become a struggle for your very survive.This game has similar and iconic mechanics to most Total War games, but there are some important changes made, such as a reworked politcal system, family tree, civic management and technological progression. There are a few significant additions as well, including the incredibly strategic Raze option, allowing you to use the power of fire to terrify defenders or utterly scour entire villages or cities from the face of the Earth. Best yet, Total War: Attila can even serve as some form of educational game as every detail in the game are meticulously recreated based on actual historical documents and references.
