Have they stumble and scrabble in the viscera, sliding into one another, accidentally lopping parts off each other, until the whole battlefield is one slurry of guts and blades streaming downhill.Īttila is on sale now on Steam until Friday now too, down 25% to £22.49. Make everyone explode in showers of limbs, like Fallout's Bloody Mess trait. Sounds like it's a bit bugged at the moment, with spears sending heads flying, but that sounds great.

Fixed a couple of instances where units’ weapons changed while they vomited.

Units will no longer play two death animations in some cases when set alight by flaming arrows on the Battlefield.

Units with seasickness on transport ships will now vomit.

Improved blood effects from decapitation and dismemberment on the Campaign map after limbs/heads are severed.

Blood decals will now remain longer on units and on the ground during battles.

Greater frequency of gory animated event pictures.

Increased the amount of vomiting when an army is suffering from sea sickness or plague.

Improved framerate when the camera is close to burning people on the battlefield.

Blood will now spurt from the correct location when agents are killed on the Campaign map.

Added 14 more decapitation/dismemberment animations in battles.

Improved blood effects in battles, made blood more visible and in some instances, spurts last longer.

With graphics settings above performance/low, decapitations are now more frequent during battles.

Added blood effects to over 140 more death and wounding animations.

Weird patch notes are a pleasure of mine, and aren't these bad boys a treat? I like imagining the meeting where The Creative Assembly sat down and drew up a list of ways to make it more gritty, more grim, more dark, more vomit-splattered. Look out for 'spurts last longer'! Don't miss 'decapitations are now more frequent'! Let's not forget 'Units with seasickness on transport ships will now vomit'! That's the kind of gore I'd want for £2. Recognising that, developers The Creative Assembly have bloodied up the gore DLC, resulting in patch notes like the adorably violent contents of a child's notebook planning their dream game. The gore DLC for Total War: Attila, mind, fell far short of the orgy of violence you'd expect from something named 'Blood & Burning'. Historical strategy series Total War splits its gore off into separate DLC, officially so the games get a lower rating. If you're going to charge someone £2 to see blood, gore, and vom, make it visceral.
