What can I do to make this campaign more interesting

**wealthmonger** · July 21, 2016, 04:04 AM

I'm thinking of trying something different with the Tanukhids. I'll try to head north right away, hopefully not getting sucked into additional wars along the way. I'm reasonably sure I can make it to the black sea and up to Antean territory.

I'll convert to Slavic paganism going with a agriculture/culture based income. A couple armies filled with the 0 upkeep militia units to boost public order in a few provinces.

Make a puppet state out of some faction so I can use their units? Maybe one of the slav factions to see if I can get poison archers but perhaps it could backfire. I don't recall if the Tanukhids have any good units, army configuration?

Do you have some other ideas?

Go kamikaze against the Sassanids!

Yeah, except I already did that with the lahkmids https://forums.totalwar.com/discussi...ital-on-turn-1

I have an idea! Turn traitor. Declare war against the factions that are your natural allies, and try to support your enemies in wars against their enemies. That can lead to some pretty interesting gameplay! In my ERE campaign, I betrayed my allies the Ghassanids and declared war against them, helping the Sassanids to defeat them. This worked spectacularly. I was able to improve relations with the Sassanids and even got a trade deal and marriage alliance which lasted the whole game. I then used the situation to reconquer North Africa. It was epic!

Go with Aksum. Excellent starting position, interesting roster. And have a go at the ERE / Sassanids - double empire trouble / fun.

Interesting idea, wealthmonger. Getting poison archers would be awesome indeed. Any news yet? For the army configuration: You can always build around a solid core of Tanukhids Pikes + Armoured Camels. Warcry of the Desert Raiders come in handy as well or what it's called on em . I could imagine, once you have your slavic puppet state, jumping to scandza to settle could be even better/saver. Just thinking, I guess you will need a "all occupation options" mod. Dresden made one, thats works very good.

Anyway, let us know!

Occupation mod? that is for Warhammer as far as i know, u dont need that in Attila anyway....

As for army configuration - Clibanarii with a pack of Tanukhid Ambushers behind them rape everything, specially if before charging u enable their special ability.
