14 DAY TRIAL // Video game developer The Creative Assembly and publisher SEGA are announcing that the next downloadable content pack for Total War: Attila is centered on the Slavic nations and might be offered for free to the entire community based on its performance during the coming Make War, Not Love event.
Gamers will be able to control three new factions, called Anteans, Venedians and Sclavenians, and to achieve victory, they will have to create wonders, which come in different types and with various requirements, from a new province chain.
Players will have to carefully time the moment when they create one of the unique buildings because focusing on them will make them vulnerable in front of other factions but can also give them solid bonuses and better abilities in combat.
The Slavic nations that are coming to Total War: Attila also brings a new city religion building chain, with the official announcement explaining that it "offers temples with numerous religious and civic bonuses, and unlocks the Last Stand battle ability for all Slavic units in the province. The new Town Religion building chain offers temples which improve growth and fertility within the province."
Slavs are also unique to snow attrition, which makes them more efficient on the campaign map, and their colonization cost is zero, which makes it easy for them to get empty provinces up and running.
Main settlement buildings also cost 50 percent less than for other factions, and colonies have the ability to quickly generate revenue that can then be used to create big armies, even if their quality might not be impressive.
The Slaves also benefit from the use of poison arrows, which can slow down enemies while dealing damage over time
The three new nations each come with unique features
The Anteans will be able to use heavy poison arrows during combat and get increased stats for their units when they fight in forests and near rivers while getting maluses when they need to engage in grasslands and open fields.
The Sclavenians get income for all enemy units that they take out, and they fight better when they engage with other nomads.
Total War: Attila is also adding the Venedians, who get more income and no negative effects from farms and are unable to profit as much from commerce and industry.
The Slavic DLC is the big stake for fans of The Creative Assembly in the coming Make War, Not Love event, which takes place on Valentine's Day.
Fans need to play the game as much as possible to get more victories than those who join the side of either Company of Heroes 2 or Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War from Relic, which is preparing their set of rewards for the player base.
The Creative Assembly is currently also working on a Total War title based on the fantasy side of Warhammer, which is set to be launched only on the PC on April 28 and will mark the first time the franchise has abandoned its historical roots.
