The Western Roman Empire is the weaker of the factions and it is facing powerful enemies on its North, with climate change forcing powerful forces towards more fertile regions. When the game starts, a variety of barbarian tribes are moving around Europe, prodding defenses and trying to find places where they can settle down or regions to raid, according to a new podcast.
The upcoming Total War: Attila is a game about the decline of civilization and the pressures that can take down even the mightiest empires, and the developers at The Creative Assembly are claiming that both the Western and the Eastern incarnations of the Roman faction will face tough challenges but will have different ways to deal with them.
