Description







The Slavic Nations Culture Pack brings three new playable factions
to Total War™: ATTILA. The Anteans, Sclavenians and Venedians may
be used in Single or Multiplayer Campaign modes and Custom and
Multiplayer battles. A hardy and mobile people, The Slavs range far
and wide across the blasted Steppe to recolonise and bring new life
to abandoned earth. When conflict occurs, they release withering
hails of poison arrows on their foes. Whether through diplomacy or
conflict, they offer the perfect counter to the Hunnic threat, and
introduce a number of unique ways to play Total War: ATTILA in both
Campaign and Battle. New buildings and victory
conditions
Victory for the Slavic Nations requires the
player to build Wonders from the new Legendary building chain. The
scale of the victory (minor/regular/divine) and type of victory
(military/cultural) depends upon the Wonder built, and players can
continue to build different Wonders to achieve greater scales of
victory. These Wonders, while very expensive to build and maintain,
confer increasingly powerful provincial and faction-wide bonuses,
and unlock powerful new battle abilities for Slavic units. The new
City Religion building chain offers temples with numerous religious
and civic bonuses, and unlocks the Last Stand battle ability for
all Slavic units in the province. The new Town Religion building
chain offers temples which improve growth and fertility within the
province. Combined with their cultural immunity to snow attrition,
this enables Slavic nations to thrive more effectively as the
climate cools. Slavic Cultural Traits All factions
in the Slavic cultural group benefit from the Hardy Warriors trait,
which enables them to swiftly recolonise razed provinces. Hardy
Warriors confers the following bonuses:

  • Immunity from snow attrition
  • Zero colonisation cost
  • 50% discount for all main settlement buildings.

In addition, the new Zadruga building chain helps the Slavic
nations to kickstart their economies in newly colonised regions.
The chain offers a large base income at tier 1, and generates
increased wealth from adjacent owned provinces. In brief, the
Slavic nations can very quickly establish fresh colonies at no
cost, and begin profiting from them immediately. Poison
arrows
A unique new ammunition type available only to
Slavic factions, poison arrows are the deadliest arrow type in the
game. Poison arrows cause exhaustion to the target and generate
damage over time. The Anteans can employ heavy poison arrows, with
severely enhanced negative effects on their targets. The
Slavic Nations The Anteans
Often considered to be an
off-shoot of the Venedians, the Anteans have nevertheless fought
with savage fury, forging both independence and an identity of
their own. Ironically, they were saved from Gothic subjugation by
the advancing Huns, who forced the Goths westward before they were
able to establish total dominance over the Slavs. The dawning of
the 5th century AD promises nothing but further chaos; the Huns
continue to maraud whilst the Roman Empire braces against them,
desperately hoping to hold back the tide any way they can. Amidst
this, the Anteans stand firm, determined to prove themselves
strong, to emerge a unified Slavic power! With a starting position
adjacent to the Huns, the Roxolanians and the Quadians, Antean
campaigns offer a significant challenge from the word go. Their
faction trait also means that they must be mindful of battle
terrain, and choose their engagements accordingly. As a result,
Antean campaigns are rated Very Hard! Faction
trait:
Liberty for Wolves

  • +20 morale, melee attack, melee defence, melee damage when
    fighting in forests
  • +20 morale, melee attack, melee defence, melee damage when
    fighting river battles
  • -10 morale, melee attack, melee defence, melee damage when
    fighting in grassland/open fields

The Venedians The true origins of the Venedians
are shrouded in confusion, the Romans incorrectly classifying them
as a Germanic people. With typical Roman snobbish arrogance,
Ptolemy described their squalid living conditions and their
“repulsive” appearance. Despite these scathing remarks, the
Venedians have endured, becoming so populous that they have
branched into two separate groups; Eastern Roman scholars make
specific mention of the Venedians as the “fathers” of many of the
other Slavic peoples. Although considered a guiding light in the
gloom of the upcoming 5th century AD, the path ahead will not be
easy – Huns, Romans and barbarians all encroach on Venedian
territory. Yet if they can hold their nerve, and never cower to the
mighty or the desperate, they may rise to inherit the world beyond!
Combining major farming bonuses with the Slavic Nations cultural
trait, the Venedians excel at colonising and building their economy
around algriculture. They also have a unique event chain which
majorly improves their diplomatic relations with the Huns over
time, making them well-placed to avoid the worst ravages of the
apocalypse. Faction trait: In Touch With The
Ground

  • Venedian farms carry no negative effects (squalor/public
    order)
  • +100% income from farms
  • -50% income from commerce, industry and culture

The Sclavenians The Sclavenians are an aggressive
Slavic people who descended from the east, taking advantage of the
thinly-spread Imperial armies and raiding Thrace and Illyricum –
intent on finding both loot and a place to settle. Inevitably, this
has drawn the ire of the beleaguered, but nevertheless still proud
and mighty Roman Empire. Now, as the 4th century AD ebbs away, the
5th promises to be a time of unending challenges. Yet the
Sclavenians are possessed of a fierce and irresistible temperament,
showing time and time again that they are capable of mighty feats
and that the future will be no different! With a faction trait
geared specifically towards slaying Nomad factions – and profiting
well from it – the Sclavenians are the world’s best hope for
defeating the Huns! Faction trait: Horned Is
The Hunter

  • +10 morale, melee damage, melee attack and melee defence when
    fighting Nomadic factions
  • Extra income for every unit destroyed
  • +5 Public Order from military presence
