Developer Creative Assembly alongside publisher SEGA have announced that the first post-launch DLC for Total War: ATTILA is now available for purchase/download. Dubbed “The Longbeards Culture Pack”, this DLC provides players with three new factions to go through the game with: The Langobards, the Burgundians and the Alamans. Each of these three factions may be used in Single and Multiplayer campaign modes, in addition to both Custom and Multiplayer battles.
In addition to bringing new units, buildings and objectives; this pack also introduces a new feature called ‘The Lay of Ybor’. This feature presents players with a series of linked narrative events which provide branching narrative choices into a new storyline. As the story draws to its conclusion, Ybor himself becomes available as a general for your armies. Ybor’s traits will mirror the choices you have made during the story, rather than being just a static unit.
The Longbeards Culture Pack is not FreeLC, with the pack currently listed at a purchase price of $7.99 USD to Steam.
What They Say About This DLC
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?
