Now, do it over and over again every single fucking turn for hours and hours on end until you quit the game forever! Isn't this a fun, challenging experience guys?"

[@deatbird99k]

JD that’s hardly an argument this is a company that specifically specializes in strategy games like this and they have yet to make good AI when the big selling point is a “Grand Campaign with challenging AI” so saying “why don’t you make AI” doesn’t excuse how shit the AI is and how incompetent CA is at programming AI

[@spirit959ful]

@@JD-jl4yy he doesnt have to. Hes not the guy selling a strategical game calling the ai interactive and challenging. Hes the customer who bought the product. By that logic if your new car doesnt drive faster than 60 mph you shouldnt be allowed to say anything even if they promised 90 mph unless you yourself can build a better car.

[@thisisaname5589]

imgur.com/ouThh7w That's on legendary. First, assume your units can never win a 1v1 battle and plan for it. In town defense, the cavalry unit you get is the hammer, the infantry are the anvil. Never allow enemy cavalry to attack anything you own if it's not in defensive testudo formation. Deploy your infantry in choke points in defensive testudo formation to ensure this. If the enemy has artillery, hide your cavalry outside of the town in the forest, somewhere hidden, and sweep them into the artillery once the enemy leaves it unguarded. You MUST NOT lose your cavalry, they are critical to chasing down fleeing units and flanking enemies that are engaged with your infantry. You must not commit to a flanking attack until the enemy is completely committed themselves, wait until all their units have bunched up against yours, then charge them in the rear for a mass rout. Javelin troops are extremely deadly, and must be destroyed as soon as possible, they can inflict ridiculous damage. On the same token, your javelin troops are equally deadly, and even a few crappy Germanic mercenary javelins can turn the tide of a battle in the right place. On the strategic side, don't completely wipe out the British tribes or the Germanic ones all the time. If they're well liked by other factions, puppet them and station an army next to them for a few turns to ensure they stay loyal. Having a few good puppets does a lot as WRE to keep you safe and keep Germans from attacking you. They are also good buffers. Do not pull these puppets into any wars until they like you a lot. Puppets must always have reliable leaders. If their leader isn't reliable, assassinate him until you get a reliable one.

[@Identitools]

Keep up the good work! Damn i just stopped a Vandals campaign that i found "too boring now". I may try WRE to see if this is as rapey as people say.

[@Yrridian]

Identitools I'd definitely recommend giving the WRE a go, they're easily one of my favourites to play as. It's a very different playstyle to almost every other faction (except maybe the ERE) as your mission isn't to expand, but rather to try and hold onto as much as possible in the face of constant invasion and terrible public order (iirc only one province starts the game trending upwards). Expect your territory to do nothing but shrink until at least midgame, unless you play VERY carefully. If you want any hints/advice just ask, although it can be pretty fun going in blind the first time.

[@Identitools]

One question, how do you "deal" with the ERE as the WRE? Will they at one point betray me? (not historically accurate at all but this is a game after all... AI can be shit). Do they actually try to help the human player? Any advices? I wonder for instance if it could help to go roman pagan (to ditch the costly temples)

[@Yrridian]

I've generally found the ERE to be a reliable ally. They won't help you that much directly, but they act as a distracting alternate target for your enemies and are a very helpful buffer from the Sassanids and the rest of the eastern factions. Also I think it helps in diplomacy, as your enemies will be at war with both the most powerful AND the second-most powerful empires at once and hence more likely to make peace (not 100% sure about that though). As for religion, the +1 osmosis bonus from Latin Christianity makes it very difficult to convert to anything else without losing a whole lot of territory first, but that bonus also means that your territories slowly convert themselves without needing many temples anyway. I'd recommend demolishing any tier 2 major temples right at the start (and possibly tier 1 but they're less costly to maintain), as you'll both get rid of the upkeep costs AND give yourself a nice bonus of demolition money to invest in profitable infrastructure. My biggest piece of advice is to be aggressive and solve problems early. Hordes in your territory? Kill them before they declare war. A neighbour declares war? Invade and destroy them (I find they're very unreliable when subjugated so either raze or occupy). In my first game I tried just giving up territory to the barbarians and playing defensively, but all that happens is they take your land, build up their economy more, and send yet more armies to attack you. Far better to take the fight to the enemy and knock them out, even if it means leaving some land vulnerable to invasion/rebellion. Note this doesn't apply to enemies like the vikings, who are far enough away that it's impractical to send some legions (at least in the early game). Just knock out their armies when they arrive and try to make peace. Also, always keep an eye on public order, and look for ways to improve it. Food shortages are often the biggest contributor to unhappiness, so try to be producing enough in every province if possible. If you execute captives often enough your emperor can pick up a trait that gives up to -3 public order for the whole empire, if that happens consider assassinating him. Don't ever let anything around Italy and the islands rebel, or else the Western Roman Separatists might appear, staring a civil war and another -3 public order everywhere. Consider rushing the first religious tech on the civic branch, it'll deny access to some nice buildings but it'll also give about +3 public order everywhere in combination with the tier 2 civic tech bonus, which can be a real lifesaver. Essentially it's all just a matter of careful maths. Remember, -99(0) public order is stable! Finally, get used to town defences because you'll be fighting a lot of them. Roman troops in testudo are surprisingly resilient (and nearly invulnerable to arrow fire) and with a bit of practice you can win some pretty ridiculous victories against much larger armies (for example, this video, or this other one I uploaded a couple of months ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHiQdXljltCFZpI ). For particularly vulnerable towns, invest in a garrison building and it becomes pretty much untakeable. Hope you find that advice useful, good luck!

[@Anonymous-qi2zh]

I had a town port defense against 1.5 fully stacked fleets with a similar garrison size except I had 2 cavalry units. I somehow channeled the entire army on a 3 slot port like what you saw here but the difference was that they had no where else to land except a peninsula dock thing that they ignored cuz I guarded t with a barrier. Concentrating my bows on the adjacent town center ledge and my infantry all facing where they landed and the cavalry on the sides I crushed them one by one.

[@simonappleton8296]

Killing the enemy general is key with the marines thanks to the sea sickness debuff is key. The enemy is much more likely to rout after that. Also, I think the AI enemy melee units were Nordic brigade which are trash. Only the spears are likely to stay in the fight and there weren't many: the Roman units outmatched them, especially in testudo. The real threat of the AI army was all the missiles and javelins but the player's aggressive tactics stopped them being brought to bear. An AI army with solid melee units - like axebands or Gothic warbands - do cause my Romans fits. But they are surprisingly rare in Attila. One the of scariest armies I faced was 19 axemen units in a Pictish army. Low morale and just tier 1, but the sheer dps meant they just walked over a tier 2 balanced Roman army.

The AI is always dumb with port assaults. I play the Himyar a lot and every time I assault Aksums minor port settlement my cavalry will spawn on the field instead of on a boat so the ENTIRE Aksum army would go out to fight my cavalry. This has always lead to me taking up the cities defences, destroying all their importantly placed towers and holding the centre of the city from the DEFENDERS attack as my cavalry can easily outrun their army and regroup with the mainforce when it has taken the City.

[@gasmaskz]

Mithrondly Tricking the AI is the ultimate tactic in this game, these tricks are a truly art of war. My favorite one is the 20 minute battle horse trick, making the entire AI's army follow a single unit of horsemen while my army is hiding, so I can avoid conflict, draw the battle and then retreat so I can wait for reinforcements. Sadly we can't be as tricky playing Attila as playing RomeII because some of the glitches were patched but some still work and it is very funny!
