The legion/army management page has also been revamped to show more useful information like current upkeep costs for that legion/army and battles won.
They will also be able to equip a weapon and apparel as part of their “household.” Instead of each general having their own stable of retainers, it would appear your faction, instead, will accumulate the stable of retainers and your generals will be able to equip one retainer at a time for specific bonuses at specific times. What is interesting, however, is how the game is treating retainers. Wives will provide extra attributes, just like in previous games. Due to the re-introduction of the family tree, your generals will be able to marry and have children.
Now, however, it seems the Creative Assembly is learning from their mistakes and has hunkered down on making character and army management a main focus. Rome 2 promised to give us better customization options for our legions and armies, but what we got instead were poor attempts that left a bad taste in players’ mouths. It’s starting to seem as if Total War Attila just might be the game we were all hoping Total War Rome 2 was going to be, except for the obvious being that it’s not quite in the right time period, with the game being set years after the glory days of the Roman Empire.
