Total War: ATTILA – Longbeards Culture Pack Steam

The Longbeards Culture Pack brings three new playable factions to
Total War: ATTILA. The Langobards, the Burgundians and the Alamans
may be used in Single or Multiplayer Campaign modes and Custom and
Multiplayer battles. After centuries facing the threat of Roman
dominance, these three formidable and warlike Germanic kingdoms are
ready at last to sweep forth in expansionist campaigns from their
tribal homelands. The Western Roman Empire lies to the South, her
border territories weak and ripe for the plunder. With their unique
blend of new buildings, battlefield units and faction traits, The
Longbeards are poised to exploit the chaos of the age. In history,
these factions would go on to found some of the great empires of
the medieval period. Will you marshal their might to forge those
empires yourself? Cultural trait (Barbarian
Kingdoms) New Kingdoms: Building conversion rate -50%
Unique narrative event-chain: The Lay Of Ybor
Playing as these factions will present you with a new series of
linked narrative events. The Lay Of Ybor is delivered in the style
of a Germanic Saga, in which you direct the actions of a fabled
hero through a series of branching narrative choices. As the story
draws to its conclusion, Ybor himself becomes available as a
general for your armies, complete with traits that mirror the
choices you made. Unique Faction Traits These

Faction history Burgundians
Although occupying the eastern part of central Europe in AD98 and
surrounded by other tribal societies, archaeological and linguistic
evidence suggests that the Burgundii originated on the Baltic Sea
island of Bornholm. By the first century AD however, the Burgundii
were active in mainland Europe. As the centuries progressed, they
solidified their position as a power in the north and east of the
continent. Although defeated by the Romans and surrounded by
enemies, as the 4th century begins and the authority of the Western
Roman Empire wanes, many tribes have pushed further into former
imperial territory. As such the Burgundii now have the chance to
move across The Rhine and take their rightful place there – in a
world free from the shackles of Imperial Rome!
Alamans As the spirited successors of the Suebi
the Alemanni intend to forge a new life for their people away from
the nomadic terror of the Huns and their ilk. Regarding themselves
as Rome’s nemesis despite several defeats – notably at the battle
of Lake Benacus – they have nevertheless stripped the empire of
much of its western territory and have the collective will to carry
on the fight. Led by a tribal confederation of greater and lesser
kings, princes and chiefs who claim royal blood, the Alemanni levy
a diverse range of Germanic troops to fight for them. Their
destiny, however troubled, lies in greatness beyond The Rhine;
their tenacity and sheer bloody-minded determination will see their
ambition realised! Langobards When the small yet
noble Winili tribe faced the vandals, their god Godan declared he
would give victory to the tribe he saw first on the day of battle.
Seeing the Winili with their women warriors, he asked ‘who are
these long beards?” and awarded them victory. The tribe were from
then on known as the Langobardi. Now they live along the river
Elbe, far from their roots. Led by their king, who shares power
with his people wherever possible, they are a determined tribe who
have weathered many storms to achieve greatness. Langobardi history
is marked by struggle and bloody conflict, and their future
doubtless holds more of the same. Yet the Longobardi will emerge
victorious, with renewed strength, to face anything the gods can
throw at them! SEGA. Creative Assembly, the Creative Assembly
