The mod includes lots of other small changes, too, including making the loyalty of troops a bit more precarious. In addition to the visual changes, the mod also amends systems to do with garrisoning and upgrading units, while the effects of seasons have been changed to have more of an impact on troops. Instead of shifting the game to another time period, Fall of the Eagles diversifies the textures and unit models in the existing game with new versions based on historical sources.

Intended to flesh out the units and battles of Attila, the Fall of the Eagles mod is an overhaul with an eye on realism and historical authenticity. Instead of facing Attila as part of a great power able to muster vast armies, players can take on the governance of smaller fictionalised polities, including the Province of Hispania or a much reduced Byzantium. The mod takes the original game’s start date of 395 AD, as the Western and Eastern halves of the Roman Empire look eastwards towards Attila’s horde of terrifying Huns, and immediately shatters it further. It invents new identities for Romanised Greeks as well as for Germanic and Norse factions.

It adds 14 new factions to the game, each of which is playable in the Grand Campaign, plus over a hundred new units. Terminus Total War – Imperium adds a new alternate history campaign to Attila: Total War. History Hit used the Total War: Attila mod to help recreate the Battle of Agincourt, the 606th anniversary of which took place on 25 October 2021. The huge complement of original units meant Medieval Kingdoms 1212 AD was ideal for History Hit’s series Battlefield Replayed series. The Pope accordingly has a role to play, alongside a host of scripted features including the ability to annex vassals, release vassals where rule is tenuous, and story events inspired by history. Its high medieval setting takes the campaign into the realms of the Albigensian Crusade in southern France, the 14th century Reconquista in the Iberian peninsula and the consequences of the 1204 conquest of Constantinople by Latin Christian forces.

It’s a project of wide scope, implementing 57 playable campaign factions, a rework of provinces and some 4,000 units. Medieval Kingdoms 1212 AD accelerates Total War: Attila’s timeline to the next millennium, bringing new technologies, units, factions and scripted narrative features to the base game.
