I do want to say I find it off-putting when people ask me to like and subscribe within the first 40 seconds of a video. When it's the first time I've watched a content creator that is way too soon to decide. It just makes me decide then and there to not do those things even if I enjoy the video eventually.

[@rispruffcuts2306]

wtf...never thought this is possible

[@xjuliussx]

this modders are geniuses. It's takes a lot of scripting to be able to achieve such a mechanism between 2 games.

[@JohnSmith-bs9ym]

Why on earth would they pick Attila of all games, man? lmao...It's an unoptimized POS. Even with my spacer tech PC, it still runs stupidly slow...And this is like years after launch. Honestly they should've done Rome 2 instead.

I have a feeling these modders a pro game devs who've been at it for years. And they use their time and resources on such passion projects as play testing for new features and future games. No wat some indie modder out there, juggling jobs and school and make something like this by getting a couple random dudes together to contribute on discord.

Just from a coding/moding/mechanical level this is so insanely interesting to me. I've never heard of a mod linking two different games together like this before, and it's so insanely cool!!

[@prinzipefelipe3021]

Same thing existed for mount and blade already

[@JamesBu11]

Slitherine did it before with 2 different games in Field of Glory: Empires and Field of Glory II. Though the battle sequence is not as good as total war, it is still impressive.

[@AndysTake]

It's incredible :)

[@HomemdaFaina]

@@JamesBu11 beat me to it mate. Yeah, the battles in FoG II are turn-based, but map battles in FoG: Empires, in a very similar system to the one presented here in Crusader Wars, can be exported and played in FoG:II, and the subsequent results of the battle then exported back to FoG: Empires.

If only CA and Paradox would look at this and its popularity and would work in a collab game with the best of both expertises.

[@AndysTake]

the dream

[@yitzhakgoldberg2404]

Inspiring.

[@bottomofthebarrelgaming2828]

add some bannerlord flavor in there and you have an unbeatable game haha

[@MrApostolis78]

CA has given up on historical games and is now releasing fantasy rubbish and not even good fantasy like LoTR or GoT. Paradox are milking their fans in the form of a 30 Euros DLC every 3-4 patches on their successful grand strategies like CK3 and EU4. Wishful thinking aside, even if that was ever to happen they would probably ask for your firstborn in exchange and half your mortgage.

[@testwordz]

2303 people have downloaded this mod. if your idea is that CA and Paradox should do things based on popularity they definitely wouldnt act on this.

[@Andrzejcojaturobie]

Great idea 🙂 If they polish this mod more, we will have a perfect mix of strategy and epic battles.

[@AndysTake]

Definitely!

[@AParadoxLost]

Oh no... oh damn... so, you're saying two of my largest time sinks just joined forces to completely alienate me from my family and friends? These modders are too powerful to be allowed to continue without international oversight.

[@AndysTake]

[@Chungus581]

Seriously haha this is like what I’ve been imagining since I was a kid

[@Speedwagon..]

I'm afraid to imagine what would happen if one day someone decided to create a historical strategy game by combining Crusader Kings (Global Strategy elements from it.), Total War (Epic Battles elements from it.) and Manor Lords (Town Planning and managing cities elements), plus maybe some elements from Victoria (Some economy elements). A game like this would take over the grand strategy market in the first hour.

[@lastword8783]

I wonder if corporations or companies have ever co-developed a game? would be awesome if CA and Paradox reached some kind of deal with the other and they both built a game like this.

[@_Azurael_]

The mad lads did it... they actually did it...

[@jereboy2005]

I am constantly amazed at what modders are able to achieve. This is simply an excellent work of art they've managed to do.

[@chrislosd162]

[@cvoudaskc1852]

Unfortunately Game Developers dont even see these amazing idea's that could have been implemented into one single game! Instead you see Total war Pharaoh 💀...

[@POPO-kg1nf]

[@samrester6254]

This is amazing. Looks like it's back to CK3 . Time for the Welsh Dragon to fly again.

[@MedjayofFaiyum]

You could literally do this for the Dawnless Days as well while we wait for a campaign.

omfg I didn't even think of this

[@leathalEly]

Keenly watching this mod. If it gets polished we’ve got the perfect strat game on hand

[@AndysTake]

Indeed

[@MrJabbothehut]

this was cool for ck3 and bannerlord. But this is even better.

[@AndysTake]

My thoughts as well! Kudos to both teams, but this is more up my alley, personally ;)

[@Lord_Raymund]

@@AndysTake I couldn't agree with you more :)

[@MrJabbothehut]

@@AndysTake imagine if they did this with rome 2 for imperator and napoleon for victoria 3. It would actually fix all my grand strategy itches tbh.

[@PhappingCamel]

This idea is amazing, the only issue I have is having to close each game after a battle/beginning a battle. My computer loads both slowly, but once loaded they play smoothly. I can imagine a 3-5 min wait between both for me :( Still, pretty damn amazing! Oh and they also did this with Bannerlord and CK3, but you probs already knew that anyway :P

[@LordVader1094]

Good thing it's only for battles you're leading, and not EVERY battle

[@shawnbass101]

Do I have to buy the dlc for it to work ?

[@uvuvwevwevweosas4459]

Paradox and CA its time to collaborate for the greatest game ever

[@tomaco7310]

Wow this is amazing. I tried doing this without mods myself once. I'd play ck2, when I got into a battle, I'd make a custom battle in MTW2 and then edit my save file to reflect the results of the battle. This isamazing work!

[@Cool_Night_King]

If CK3 can make a battle simulator in it (not necessarily as deep visually as total war attila) , that would elevate CK3 to a hight never seen before in strategy gaming history , think maybe representational units with 2d strips similar to Ultimate General games but in medieval times of course , I hope paradox take some notes from this video if they see it , and fully develop an overhaul to battles as they are the weakest part of any paradox game , which shouldn't be the case since battles are what war is all about. Also maybe add some other features to warfare as many in the community are recommending , like supply lines , special tactics with sieges like building siege ramps , trenches , tunnels under the walls , maybe if you're intrigue is high enough you can sway a gate guard to open the gates to your troops like in the siege of Antioch in the first crusade and have it all managed by a war council similar to the royal court , but in this case it would serve an actual purpose other than showing off your artifacts and other nonesense lol. This concept is really massive and can make CK3 and other paradox games (if implemented in them) eat the market , as historical players of total war are fed up with CA bullshit and the shift of their games from acutal strategy and tactics to stats and visual spectical. Great video by the way mate.

[@Naturemannz]

currently playing ck3. This is amazing. ck3 causes much eye strain, so a relief to battle like that will be great. this is Amazing.

[@CursedOgrabme]

This makes me want to buy both of these games

[@MedjayofFaiyum]

Absoutely excellent finding! I didn't even know about this until your video today. Great that every unit you recruit in CKIII will match in TW. The modding skills here are so good both companies should hire these devs. This is stuff you expect of a very high quality. Something that Paradox/CA never did, we're getting something very good.

[@AndysTake]

True! Thank you so much!

[@MedjayofFaiyum]

@@AndysTake np

[@Kenzenichinyo91]

I am not a CK player, but modders should implement a system where you are not allowed to activate the TW battle if your general/vassal is not enough loyal to your king. As mentionned by a previous comment, it would be too easy to kill annoying vassals.

[@nathanrobinson1099]

Neither team will take this on, it will forever be a massive modder’s success

[@ACelik-rm4tr]

Great, now your grandson may be able to complete the full run that you have began.

[@jet-fury]

Amazing how far modding has come. Combining games is the stuff of dreams

[@dracos24]

As much as I enjoy Total War's battles, I find that in campaigns I usually attack from a position of overwhelming strength, so simply auto-resolve the battles and skip half the game to focus on the overworld map gameplay which isn't as robust as a Paradox game.

[@asip1991GoldFAQtTWimtw]

Yes, there is no limit to perfection! Huge prospects are opening up!

[@inspector_beyond]

Just a small thing. I hope that when in CK3 you siege a holding and an enemy army is approaching, that army would appear as enemy reinforcement at the siege battle.

[@DynastyUK]

I want to cry with joy.

[@lasttoload88]

Are you kidding me. I hope this idea goes mainstream. I’ve always dreamed of combining a game that focuses on the macro like HOI4 and the micro like Steel Division 2. I understand that making such a game would be quite the project. I hope Paradox would incorporate the 2. They have added so much customization with the designers. I just think it would be awesome to be able to control what you have built in a actually battle.

[@TheLoreLodge]

This may actually convince me to buy...

[@ThinkerYT]

WHAT THE FUUUUUCK WHY MODDERS FO THIS BUT A WHOLE COMPANY CAN'T OMGGGGG THIS IS THE DREAM

[@johnfraire6931]

With the BannerLord-CrusaderKings mod out of date, I hope Total War fans can enjoy this

[@sculptor682]

Those youngsters sure are doing alot of backflips to avoid simply using Medieval 2, as-is, instead. It has a superior war engine than Atilla, and is able to field far more troops than Attila. Sometimes SIMPLE is better.

[@Alexislotoboni]

I had recently thought of the possibility of mixing a game like ultimate admirals dreadnoughts with something like the great war mod for napoleon total war. Although I do not have the ability nor technical expertise to do it myself I knew there were people out there who could do stuff like this. Amazing what people can do when they put their abilities to work on things they are passionate about. Bravo to the creators of this mod.

[@AndysTake]

Absolutely, massive bravo!

Hopefully Paradox and CA see the awesome work these guys did for CK3 and Total War Atilla

[@ahmedabdolghani8879]

Attila’s Ancient empires with an ancient world/Alexander’s invasion mod for CK3 would be majestic

[@BenjinWS]

I wish they could also do this with Imperator: Rome and Total War: ROME II; Imperator Wars!

[@ac_spicywingz3627]

You should take a look and review the Hegemony series some day (Gold: Wars of Ancient Greece, Rome: Rise of Caesar and III: Clash of the Ancients), they are an awesome but underappreciated gem of series that combines aspects of Total War and Paradox Grand Strategy games.

[@AndysTake]

I'd like to!

[@aramokurdo]

[@maximilianhaas2052]

Looks promising. So we need actually both games to play the mod (CK3 and Attila)? Did I get that right?

[@AndysTake]

Indeed :) Plus the mods if you want the units to match, but those are of course free :)

[@TheMacaz]

That's such a cool idea. It reminds me very much of the mechanic in Field of Glory Empires where you have the option to play battles in Field of Glory if you have that installed also.

[@MySENNAa]

THIS IS LEGENDARY!!!!!!!

[@Lord_Raymund]

The only thing im worried about is that my PC will explode if i try playing both at the same time

[@MrJabbothehut]

it closes down ck3 and opens up attila. You wont be running both at once.

[@AndysTake]

it suspends CK3, but it's still running in the background, just not as intense, I believe

[@Lord_Raymund]

@@AndysTake aha thx 🙏

[@MedjayofFaiyum]

6:30 so you're telling me I can download Fallen Eagles and play with a fantastic Attila Overhaul Mod and play those battles? Epic

[@AndysTake]

Well not yet, but hopefully in the beta when it's compatible with The Fallen Eagle ;)

[@EvsEntps]

I don't know if the modders have done this, but I had this fusion mod idea a while ago and theorized you could go even further and create a 'meta' application that could dynamically mod Total War: Attila's files before each battle to transfer relevant graphics such as faction logos from CK3 into the Total War UI and potentially even reconstitute unit models to have the correct faction logo on their shields and such. Even more ambitious would be to develop a mapping from CK3 character faces to Total War face models and thus have your commander character accurately represented as a general in the battle. I'm sure you can think of more ways of customizing battles in such a way. The possibilities for customizing the battles are endless with dynamic modding, the battles would be even more immersive, varied and detailed than those in normal Total War mods. Every single battle would essentially be like playing a unique Total War mod tailored just to that battle.

[@HorrorTownFilms]

That's hella cool Mayor of Horrortown

[@TravisRosenbluth]

Awesome vid, I liked and subscribed. Question for you, what is your set up?! Those graphics were next level. What are you running CK3 on?

[@ericescobedo3456]

This mod looks amazing! I know other projects like this would be extremely difficult but it'd be cool if we one day got these combinations Crusader Kings 3 Total War Atilla Sengoku Total War Shogun 2 Imperator Rome Total War Rome 2 March of the Eagles Total War Napoleon Europa Universalis 4 Total War Empire (Yeah Empire doesn't have the whole world and its nations) Yeah 3 out of 5 of these games aren't popular enough to warrant a mod of this scale but as someone that likes playing all of them it'd be nice to have them

[@wowsulfate]

wow thats amazing, will definitely try this down the road

[@julianabson7870]

Just epic ! Jumping from CK3 campaign dense gameplay to Total War commander on the field of battle and back again is a dream come true.
