    Commanding and moving your army
    Total War multiplayer can be a hectic experience. To not be overwhelmed it's good to understand how to assume direct control, how to unlock the free debug cam and a few new Attila specific controls. Also, make sure you have Locket Group and Group on their proper key bindings, some attila players have reported these two being mixed.

    Hidden stats
    Attila have many hidden stats that they player can't see: rate of fire, bonus damages to horses or infantry, etc. Click here to find out how to find the hidden stats. Download the packetfile manager here. Once you are in the "db" folder, scroll down to "land_unit_tables", "melee_weapons_tables" and "projectiles_tables" for some of the more useful tabs.

    Walrus Jones made a mod that give you clarity on many of the different hidden stats. Don't worry, this mod is compatible with all mods and Attila Vanilla. This means you can play multiplayer with all other people. Explained here.

    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.

    Not sure if you are happy or sad, but w/e. Thanks I guess. I'll continue to keep his video's up to date and relevant for the current patch while also leaving the videos that are about fundamental concepts still in the list.
