Is it actually good now or what?
No, but its something you can work with. Attila is actually good though.
I have r2, but end up playing napoleon most of the time. Should I bother with atilla?
just buy attila

If you have ANY interest in Total Warhammer, skip Attila since that is only 9 days away and looks way better because everything is more unique.
If not, Attila is really good and you can probably get it off a keysite for 10 bucks by now. The only problem that I am not sure got fixed was AI really disliked rebuilding terrain. In Attila when you raze, you actually raze. The city is deleted off the map and terrain around the city gets super fucked. Terrain now has a fertility stat that effects some stuff. So if AI or you want to reclaim it much later, you have to pay to un-fuck the land and city
No. Even with DeI it's still shit and tedious, and awful to play. If you really want to play a post-Empire tw game, play Shogun 2 or Age of Charlememe, since they're the only two ones who managed to overcome the handicap of using Warscape.

attila is much more worth it. you still have the roman empire after it got split into eastern and western if you really got a thing for rome. your ass will also get split if you play them without knowing what to do
it's one of the hardest titles in the franchise. holy fuck those huns have no mercy, anything above hard leaves very little room for mistakes

Battle of the Catalaunian Fields when?
attila is great, i confess to being skeptical after rome 2 but i just got it a bit ago and i really love it, even surpasses shogun 2 for me
don't get rome 2, wait and see if warhammer is any good

Warhammer looking good, I hope all the pre-release footage and coverage shows the game won't be a huge fucking mess on launch

so comfy
I played Attila because of /v/ and /vg/ advice and skipped Rome 2, but I prefer Romes setting.
What exactly makes Attila so much better than Rome? Isnt it basically the same game? Really wanna try Rome but people always tell me not to bother since its supposedly shit.

no family trees
even more DLC than attila
even more bugs than attila
unit cards are ass to read, ui is awful
unit collision is awful, cavalry remain useless whereas in attila they might be broken
campaign map is simplified from even shogun 2
ai is still retarded
it's a variety of problems that infect every game in the series, only rome 2 has them worse and more
a single nuance in these games quickly becomes something that is irritating, seeing as how long it takes to play them
rome 2 isn't absolute gutter trash by videogame industry standards, but why play a TW game on its level when other games in the series have done more and better?
>>337723816
Attila has better battles, campaign map, diplomacy and runs better.
>>337724303
Theodoric was actually a legitimately good King of Italy by most accounts.

>cavalry might be broken
>might be
The are completely broken in Attila. The only situation in which cavalry isn't broken is when they are assaulting a walled city but that is only because the ai is still completely retarded.
Everything else you said is 100% correct.
>>337724198
that's one of the worst positions to settle in. i don't think there is a way to sign non aggresion with ERE, they simply refuse no matter how much gold you shove in their assholes.
also, huns are basically at your doorstep, along with a few other hordes. as the campaign advances the fertilty of those provinces turns to shit and you just get sandwiched by two powerful factions without the economy to deal with them
imo best locations for a good legendary playthrough would be either italia or iberia. iberia has two gold mines and a ton of trade resources and italia is the most fertile. the middle east is also good but the sassanids and their buttbudies are a giant coalition and if one fights you, everybody will.

If you really like the setting it's absolutely fine now. Attila is better but rome 2 is an OK game since the emperor edition.

>4 siege maps
>towns without walls = field battle
9 days away from total trash, hammerfags will still eat it up, they are notorious for accepting shit sandwiches and smiling through it.
>>337721505
No. The engine is fundamentally shit.
