Thread: On today of all days, a Celtic Invasion!

  1. #1

    CA Developer Icon On today of all days, a Celtic Invasion!

    As the skies darken, Rome’s grip on the Brittanic isles weakens. The native tribes sense that their hour of emancipation is at hand; the time is right to expand their rule by axe and fire. From the mists at the very edge of the world, the Celts rise!

    Playable for the first time in ATTILA, the Celtic tribes of the Ebdanians, Caledonians and Picts specialise in swift and deadly warfare. Every unit in the Celtic roster has the Guerrilla Deployment trait, enabling them to deploy almost anywhere on the battlefield – even behind enemy lines.

    The Celts are a raiding, looting and sacking based culture type. Each faction benefits from its own unique traits, but all share Celtic cultural traits that vastly increase their income from these activities. An all-new Celtic roster is available for recruitment, alongside new units unique to each faction.

    Also included are new objectives, skills, tier-5 buildings, ancillaries and a new narrative event-chain.

    Enjoy!

    i never complained about dlc's but now iam frustrated, shouldnt all those cut off pieces of the game had been soled with the game in the first place? And ok modern marketing etc is understandable and in any case iam not intrested in buying culture packs in the first place cause i would have only played as rome ,but arent 2 so called culture packs enough for the first month, shouldnt we have instead something that actually adds something to the game and iam sure would have been more popular than this, like BLOOD AND GORE for eg?

    I lolled hard at theEbdanian swordsman with the St. Patrick cloak, but the best part was the Caledonian archer. Seriously, though, I think CA is a bit obsessed with the movie references:

    So glad i haven't bought this game (unlike some top complainers and moralizers out there...).
    These (Vikings, Celts and the other germanic DLCs) are clearly content cut from the game.

    BTW thank you a lot Sega/CA for leaving Rome II with still a lot of bugs (many things were even broken by last patches, and never fixed back) and doing nothing about. You neither have the dignity to leave a simple reply in threads like this:

    Disclaimer: the post above is way way prealpha, the final version will be way better than this.

    Nope, first steppe ppl (Slavs, Sarmatians, Bulgars,...) and desert ppl (Berbers, Tuaregs, Arabs ...) then we can expect smt more thematic i think, though fantasy Arthur campaign is smt im not really looking forward. Belisarius campaign would be much more suiting imo.

    Ugh....the Langobards DLC had at least really nice features and good-looking unit assets etc.

    Trailer shows nothing above mediocre. Guess the painted remodel of the Vandal Berserkers was the best.
    Shale: My heart does not qualify as shiny. I kill. Frequently, and not without pleasure.
    Leliana: You had a difficult life. Deep down, at the center of your being, you are a good person. I believe that.
    Shale: Even though I have never demonstrated this aspect? How peculiar.
    Leliana: You aren't all stone, Shale. There is a person inside of you.
    Shale: If so, it is because I ate it.

    Really? I thought you all stood out better with ill-fitting Germanic rosters.

    I wish i was more surprised. In Attila, flames not only spread throughout settlements, it's been a priority to make sure credibility and the fan base are thoroughly burned too!

    And they don't even have new voices....

    Why would they? All barbarians sound more or less the same.

    CA better release another performance / feature enhancement patch along this DLC. The CAI definitely needs some serious fixing, as well as certain other gameplay mechanics.

    Alright the langobeards looked interesting but this is just silly. Celts shouldve been in this game from the first place

    Hopefully you don't need the dlc for the AI to at least have Celtic units.
