the barbarians Huns north of the Danube turned to their civilized rival, the Romans, and begged for protection. Strong position to attack the Saxons or the Western Roman empire are available and friends beow the Saxons can be found in the Alamans and Longobards. They start of with one city with a port, not walled but certainly easy to defend. Franks: Not to be confused with Anne Frank the Franks are a strong tribe and a thorn in the Saxon side.Watch out for famine, desease and war as you look for a place to settle. Alans: Starting of on the hunt for survival the Alans are a horde tribe that can be easy to use but at the same time difficult to those with less knowledge on Total War.This is not form personal experince but from multiplayer campaigns. Jutes: The Jutes are in my opinion the most difficult to play as out of the viking DLC factions.Prove your worth as you fight to survive against your fellow Viking tribes. Danes: One of the Viking DLC factions, they start of with low enemies and high standing is easily possible with the Saxons.

Alamans: start in a walled city with trade goods, but are at war with the Vandals who have two large stacks within 2 turns of your starting city.That is just a taste of what awaits the owners of Total War: ATILLA - the game is definately worth a try, it is already level pegging with Rome II (and in some ways exceeds it!) and with the promise of future patches, DLC's/FLC's, ATILLA is definately shaping up to be a fantastic game. As the various different migrators and barbarians, I have seen the WRE and ERE fall, survive, expand and even destroy each other. This can be done by anyone in the reintroduced family tree, even the women! The AI - both battle and campaign - is significantly improved, from my experience, I have been presented with plenty of challenges in the many campaigns I have briefly played, the AI also doesnt do the same things from one campaign to the other. Firstly, the politics has been repaired, expanded, and is immersive - you can assassinate, marry off, gain support, ensure loyalty and many more. The game as a whole works (and runs) very well, a much better release this time round, and certain aspects have been implemented and fixed to bring a much better Total War experience, one that alot of us expected from Rome II. Most definately, after the poor release of Rome II, it doesn't suprise me that this would be the first question on most peoples minds, that being said, there are significant improvements to ATILLA.
