- This Lord of the Rings Total War mod, ten years in the making, turns the Roman Empire into Middle-earth - 16 December 2025
I still get chills when I think about King Theoden's rousing speech at the Battle of Pelennor Fields. A mash-up of his various motivational calls to arms across the books (with some of Eomer's lines thrown in for good measure), it shows a fearless leader doing everything in his power to fight for what's good in this world. I've recreated the scene on the tabletop and as best I can in videogames, but the new Dawnless Days mod for Total War Atilla might be my best chance of embodying the Rohirrim leader.

- Total War: Rise of Mordor mod removed after copyright strike - 11 February 2022
Following the news this week on the lawsuit over what looked like pretty clear plagiarism on Capcom's part , it's back to business as usual in video game copyright land. Following a DMCA takedown request from Warner Bros lawyers, Mod DB has removed the Total War: Attila total conversion mod, Total War: Rise of Mordor from their site (thanks, Game Watcher )...

- The best Total War: Attila mods - 29 September 2020
A game's mod scene is like a fine wine: it becomes ever more refined with age. As such, it makes sense to step back from the hustle-and-bustle of Creative Assembly's newest release and take a look instead at what's available for the studio's other mainline historical strategy games. One of my personal favourites in the series is Total War: Attila , and it's great to see how its mod scene has fermented in the years since release. When I was younger, I used to believe that a game was complete when it came out of the box. Then one day I stumbled onto the mod scene for Total War: Medieval II and ever since then what was once sacred has become profane. Now, I shout the praises of great mods from a megaphone and expect that mods will undoubtedly extend the life of many of my favourite strategy titles well past that of the vanilla version. Total War: Attila may not be the best loved out of all…

- Rise of Mordor, a Lord of the Rings conversion mod for Total War: Attila, hits first public alpha - 31 March 2018
Total War: Rise of Mordor is a conversion mod for Total War: Attila that, in its final form, will let you play through a newly-crafted campaign featuring 19 factions from Middle Earth. You can take your first peek at it now thanks to a public alpha released this week that will hand you control over some of the factions and let you play around with custom units that are based on the ones you'll have seen in the films. The background story of the campaign will be "accurate to the books", but could still be a while off yet. First, the team will finish off the factions and add custom settlements into the mod.  The grand strategy and large-scale battles of the Total War series make it ripe for Lord of the Rings conversions, and Rise of Mordor isn't the first to attempt it. Third Age does something similar for Medieval 2: Total War, and it does it very well (making it onto Tom&…
- An Update on our Upcoming Historical Releases - 1 November 2017
With Mortal Empires released last week, there’s a hotfix on the way for that Chaos Invasion issue some people are having, plus the Foundation and Norsca update too. We want to make sure that’s sorted out before we add more Total War: WARHAMMER content. However, in this week’s blog we wanted to take a moment to look at our Historical projects; because you’re about to hear a lot more about them. The next year is packed with new stuff and, as we ramp up for some big announcements, I took a moment to chat with our history project directors; Maya, Jack and Janos..

- The most historically accurate PC games - 17 August 2017
PC games are full of arcane artifacts spurring on ancient civilizations, Nazis riding dinosaurs, and Ghandi nuking the entire planet. Historical accuracy isn’t always a priority, and even the ones that try to get it right have to take some liberties with the facts modern scholarship hands down to us to be, you know, a fun game. But there is a definite divide between games that offer a mere nod to history (or use some vague, pop culture-informed stereotype of it as a jumping-off point) and those that actually put in enough research time to get at least some of the important facts straight. It’s hard to measure a variable like “historicity” when it comes to games—and yes, that is a real word. Games that put history first tend to wind up overly complicated rather than fun, so I've highlighted genuinely great PC games that go out of their way to inclu…
- These four famous battles would be perfect for Total War Sagas - 10 August 2017
Art by Peter Dennis Creative Assembly recently announced Total War Sagas , a spin-off series meant to “focus on a specific point in history, as opposed to an era as seen in the tentpole Total War games,” but with the same level of detail as the bigger releases. Like Fall of the Samurai or Napoleon, these aim to cover eras already touched on by Total War, but putting a particular facet of the age under a microscope or detouring from the existing timeline. It's a fantastic idea, seeing as some of the smaller and more focused campaigns for Rome II (Imperator Augustus and Caesar in Gaul, particularly) were actually much better executed than the Grand Campaign. Here are some smaller-scale conflicts that deserve their very own campaigns. The Defeat of the Cimbri, via Wikipedia The Cimbrian War Place: The Outskirts of the Late Roman Republic Time: c. 115 - 100 BCE Base game:…
- Total War: Attila mod recreates Game of Thrones' Battle of the Bastards - 30 January 2017
With Game of Thrones' seventh season fast-approaching, it's getting harder to avoid casting and story spoilers by the day. I've already re-watched season six in preparation (and will almost certainly do so again nearer the time), which is why I'm looking for other GoT-themed entertainment to quench my make-believe medieval murder fest desires.  If that's you too, you may fancy a trip to Westeros by way of Total: War Attila , as the Seven Kingdoms Development Team has updated its Thrones-inspired Seven Kingdoms mod to include the Free Folk, the Night's Watch, House Hornwood, and 15 new characters.  All of which means you can recreate that infamous Jon Snow scene in Battle of the Bastards, which is shown below around the 1.38 mark.  Here's the full list of 15 generals that the mod's Beyond the Wall update introduces: * Ned Stark; * Ri…
