    Probably yeah, might get the Special Edition if the price is good, I'm a sucker for more stuff to go on my shelves.

    After buying Empire and seeing the obstacles of 32bit code, I made the statement I would not buy another one until they make it 64bit. This includes ATTILA.

    I proudly belong to the 63,16 that answerd NO!

    The previews have been tragic, the game actually is a Fantasy game, the gameplay is still that of Rome, probably worsened, so, as I didn't get Rome II I won't get Attila.

    I hope in some distant future to see Victoria Total War or some other post-Napoleonic game, CA should now leave ancient history it's not the right terrain for them.

    Not a hope! I'm going to do what I should have done with Rome 2: wait a year for them to fix all the bugs and release all the DLC, then get it all on sale, because it wont be worth the price their charging, at least not on release.

    The next time I preorder a Total War game is the time, I stand up from my PC and take a sledgehammer to my own kneecaps.

    I never preorder anything, especially electronic/ software stuff. The DLCs are not a real draw because most are release when you are still playing the regular factions. Anyway, it's the mods that make the game more interesting.

    pre-ordering is for beta testers.

    I have Rome II but when I try to play it I desist no getting to 50 turns, I was not going to buy it but a Rome I hosted mod project recruited me to make its Rome II version. No much battles played, no naval battles at all ( being a land pirate is not my plan). I think there must be a good feedback from users and a good Price for that to happen, and maybe then I still do not play with it. I have bought some of the Rome II campaigns in sales offers, but I still do not enjoy it, some kind of passing turns until a huge Roman army then after 25 or so turns of war decides to attack me when I thought that never would happen and I have sent my Carthaginian army to the other side of the map. Playing Carthage with no important naval challenge, with these naval battles mechanics...., icon building manager for several regions..., no walled cities..., strange concept for siege of walled cities.... I am playing now Stainless Steel for MIITW, so much gameplay! Every city is meaningful in this game and mod no just a village near a city that you forget until it is attacked. Congratulations to its developers and modders.

    Truer words words have not been spoken. This is how I feel about pre-ordering stuff like this; I rather let someone else get the kinks out.
    In today's world, online patching is easy offering little incentive to present a finished product.

    The good
    • It's Total War.
    • It looks relatively cheap compared to R2.
    • It may be modded very well. Not to mention it's the last installment before the next era, so the best mods will probably be using Attila.
    • New game play systems (sieges, family tree, politics).
    • Vikings.
    • FLC.


    The bad
    • I always get the "yuck... I got rick rolled" -feeling every time I press Play Rome 2.
    • Beta tester for 6 months - 1 year.
    • New systems are probably overhyped, just like many of the systems in R2.


    • Too early for vikings.
    • More DLC than FLC, and the DLC's will retroactively restrict me from playing those "new" factions.


    The Ugly
    • ...truth is that I can live without buying Attila entirely or I can buy it and not do much harm to me either.


    tl;dr I don't know. It's not actually a huge deal either way.

    Thorolf was thus armed. Then Thorolf became so furious that he cast his shield on his back, and, grasping his halberd with both hands, bounded forward dealing cut and thrust on either side. Men sprang away from him both ways, but he slew many. Thus he cleared the way forward to earl Hring's standard, and then nothing could stop him. He slew the man who bore the earl's standard, and cut down the standard-pole. After that he lunged with his halberd at the earl's breast, driving it right through mail and body, so that it came out at the shoulders; and he lifted him up on the halberd over his head, and planted the butt-end in the ground. There on the weapon the earl breathed out his life in sight of all, both friends and foes. [...] 53, Egil's Saga
    I must tell you here of some amusing tricks the Comte d'Eu played on us. I had made a sort of house for myself in which my knights and I used to eat, sitting so as to get the light from the door, which, as it happened, faced the Comte d'Eu's quarters. The count, who was a very ingenious fellow, had rigged up a miniature ballistic machine with which he could throw stones into my tent. He would watch us as we were having our meal, adjust his machine to suit the length of our table, and then let fly at us, breaking our pots and glasses.
