You’ll have your empire’s religion, but also potentially pockets of dissenting religions, which can cause conflict in your holdings, similar to Barbarian Invasion.Īnd in keeping with the Attila theme, you can now raze your own cities to the ground in what Creative Assembly termed “an ancient-world scorched earth policy.” Outnumbered? Don’t want your enemy to take advantage of that beautiful city you built? Burn it to the ground. Religion will also play an important part in Attila. Once a city is diseased, there’s potential to spread to other cities by way of trade or armies, which could be a good thing or a disaster depending on your intentions.

If squalor gets out of control in a city, there’s a better chance of disease spreading. Creative Assembly has done away with the squalor versus public order system of Rome II, instead hooking squalor to a new disease system. That’ll be handy to, for instance, keep track of the spread of diseases.
