Total War: Attila - Garamantian FreeLC and Patch details

Free LC - Garamantians

Since the rise of the Roman Empire, Garamantian raids across its territory have brought swift retribution, with border forts springing up throughout the 3rd century AD to repel incursions. Yet Roman-Garamantian relations were not always acrimonious; both nations had resources the other needed and so the Romans - ever pragmatic - allowed mutually beneficial trade agreements to be reached.

Now, in the dying light of the 4th century, the Garamantians occupy a unique position. From their north African strongholds, they can attack the now-troubled Roman Empire, forging their own path in the west, or strike out into the seas to explore the unknown. The world is changing, yet the Garamantians are poised to seize greatness no matter what!

Scourge of the Desert: +15 melee attack during desert battles

Fractured Faiths: Increased public order penalty for religious differences between new religions

Attrition: Immune to desert attrition

Sunscorched: +2 sanitation

General

Fixed a bug causing units in a set stance e.g. spear wall, to drop their stance when engaging with the enemy. The affected units would engage the enemy without remaining in formation, and move away from their stationary location set by the player, ending up in a different location/position to where the player put them.

The Paved and Dirt Roads on the Campaign map have been fixed, as they appeared to have white pixelated edges for some users.

Fixed an SLI bug, which caused units visibility to be reduced in battle, until they were right up close to the players units.

Fixed an issue where the Campaign AI got fixated on chasing a human horde around the map.

Fixed a Multiplayer Campaign crash caused by a pop-up appearing before the post-battle UI after auto-resolving a battle.

Fix for graphical corruption on ocean surface (flickering) during naval battle, which happened for some Mac players on OSX 10.10 Yosemite.

Fixed a bug where in-game movies during Multiplayer Campaign sometimes displayed a grey screen instead of playing.

Fixed crash when dragging player slot onto empty army on the Custom / Multiplayer Battle Screens.

Fixed some Multiplayer Campaign crashes caused by UI panels.

Campaign

All Campaigns

When units are being recruited in a sieged settlement, they will continue recruiting, but not become available until the siege is lifted.

Fixed a bug where Campaign AI controlled armies would raid their own desolate Region.

Fixed a bug where 2 armies under Campaign AI control would break a siege and re-siege the same settlement on the same turn.

Campaign AI armies are less likely to leave a settlement unprotected when able to garrison them, and have sufficient forces to protect them. An exception to this is when they are making a last stand on their final settlement, and are overpowered e.g. 10-1.

Grand Campaign

Eastern and Western Roman Empires are now prevented from becoming puppets or vassal states right at the start of the Grand Campaign.

Added the Parthian shot ability to Alani Horse archers, Grey Hairs and Cataphracts archers.

Corrected the "Request from Antonina: Ioannina" event effect in The Last Roman Campaign.
