THE LONG NIGHT: THE INSANE ATTILA MOD YOU NEED TO TRY! - Total War Mod Spotlights
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 лют 2025
- In this video I want to showcase a mod that’s been out for a few years now for Attila Total War, that not only spices up campaign gameplay but really challenges the player like no other mod ever has & honestly it could be one of my favourite total war mods right now.
Developed by DetTrooper, The Long Night is an Attila mod that essentially changes the grand campaign into an alternate history of the world where an ice age started a hundred years ago, contributing to a quicker and more bitter end to the Western Roman Empire. The mod provides a host of new playable factions, with new gameplay mechanics and units and more for a brilliantly unique total war experience that I cannot recommend enough.
It’s currently got over 6000 subscribers on the steam workshop so it’s already enjoyed by many players out there but I’d say for what it does it’s still an underrated mod. So in this video I’ll be running through all the fantastic features that come with the Long Night, and why you absolutely need to give it a try!
I hope you enjoyed this video guys and found it helpful. If you did give the video a like and absolutely drop your thoughts and any questions at all!

the constant attrition when you move armies reminds of the Hannibal (1992) PC game.i had a blast with that game.
Oh this was such a classic mod back then
Really amazing you brought this one to light my man!
Hell yeah!
Technically, the climate became markedly colder and drier after the 5th Century. Egyptian scholars have reported ice on the Nile Delta around year 700. I've begun to suspect that climate change was of the distinctive reasons for the collapse of the (western) Roman Empire. So: this mod is not entirely out there...
I’ve seen this a few years ago! I actually have a similar concept planned for a campaign in New World (not ice age tho, quite the opposite actually 😜) but it’s not coming anytime soon. PLAY THIS ONE IN THE MEANTIME ❤️❤️❤️
Sounds awesome!
What is New World?
@@thelastcasualty2696 its a mod for rome 2 that adds some myth/legend factions like the amazonians and atlantis, its like a historical fantasty mod
Para Bellum and now this, man u do a great job at highlighting great underrated mods, I've been playing mods for more than a year now and had only heard of DEI, Ancient Empires and 1212 but your spotlights have recently opened me up to Para Bellum (which unlike DEI doesn't have atrocious turn times) and now this. Just keep up the great work man :D
Thank you sir! More to come
Thanks for your mod reviews it is hard to find these golds in the steam workshop thanks for making it this easier for us!
Hell yeah man my pleasure!
Yeeey. I was wondering when this would be in spotlight. From all the mods I ever used, this one was one of the craziest.
Absolutely! My Roman campaign is all over the place 😂😂
@@TheTerminatorGaming
Now I want to see Legend of Total War give it a try.
Nice time in mid December to talk about Long Night mod )
Yes indeed 👍
@@TheTerminatorGaming i bet u choosed it :)
DeTrooper has been at it for years, dudes a legend. Bro you're almost to 10K WOW!
He is! I KNOW!!! How wild is that 😆😆❤️❤️
@@TheTerminatorGaming You're growing fast brother, I remember like it was yesterday when you first started, congraulations are in order my friend, congratulations. I've tried to help you out whereever I can share your content around quite a bit, keep up the great work bud!
Thank you mate I really appreciate it :)
I started 2 years ago a campaign with exarchate of Africa and roleplayed an alliance with the roman empire and the other exarchates. It was very fun and i conquered back Hispania on behalf of the empire, but then war weariness just became too difficult to manage. I don't know if it was intended or a bug, but it was increasing constantly and the only solution was to obtain more victories or conclude all current wars.
It still does not explain the headless soldiers, I mean, even the Night King's army from GoT had heads attached.
Haha mate they are units in the demonic invasion of 666 AD 😂
@@TheTerminatorGaming So in that case, to hell (lol) with the Night King and Khorne. All hail Satan!!
😂😂
So far, the Roman campaign is amazing.
I mean, the first part of my campaign was quite difficult, but I still had room to make some mooves which broke the initial situation to restore a proper byzantium, and then I was in a semi-stable state. I thought : "that's it, that's over, like all other TW campaign, once you get there, you can steamroll everything"... And then... The public order crashed, I was attacked in Africa by nearly everyone, the Caliphate attack me while I'm at war with the Sassanid...
And that's great : that's a good campaign designed to put you in difficult position even when you have decent revenues, units and armies. Because you can't just destroying an ennemy faction that easily, without putting your empire at risk in a another front. You have to make choices take some risk, sometimes the AI will manage to exterminate your troops or attacking the criticals area of your empire.
I don't understand why it is not more famous : it is the best TW experience I had in a while, and the best designed campaign I've encountered so far.
Wooow...play as the Romans in this mod is basically hell on earth..
It is! So much fun though :)
Its the Attila of attila !!
Exactly!
Somebody has been inspired ny a song of ice and fire😁
Oh my sweet summer child, what do you know about fear
Total War: Survival Horror Mode!
Haha exactly mate :)
Historical fans: I hate fantasy
*downloads supernatural mod*
I don't hate fantasy, i hate how they handled it
?????? don't care that this was years ago, "Historical fans " love fantasy, this is why medieval 2 has fantasy mods and such dedication to the lotr mods, snorehammer total bore sucks sucks
They just need to wear new armor sets and weapons fit for the ice age!
Finally, I thought I was the only one who played this mod
Such a great mod!
Love playing as the English on this mod THE KING OF WINTER
Haven't tried it yet but I'm excited :D
definitely going to download this mod tomorrow only shit this looks amazing
It's almost like End Of Days 1 mod for Rome Total War, but more nuanced and complexed.
Actually forgot about this mod. Played years ago.
I remember it being fun and challenging. But, the AI Vanguard waves were brutal and for some reason, when the baddies came from the north, most factions would not enter alliances with you. Kind of killed the theme, when the end of the world is upon you and the AI factions just ignored it. Everybody just got rolled up individually.
Might check it out and see if it's changed.
ALSO: Kind of hard to pull away from RR with Total Conquest and Chivalry, at the moment.
This mod looks awesome!
It is!
They ever fixed that issue with the undergod where he just stays up in the top corner of the map?
Really wish I could play it
Discovered it about a week ago
Crashes on turn 3 start as Rome (and I really want to play them), not for others so I could play them but ROMA INVICTA.
Weird! Have you tried verifying game files?
@@TheTerminatorGaming there is an entire section of comments on the mod about crashes, sadly it hasn't gotten updates in a while.
Same :(
i broke the scripting for this mod 2 or 3 years ago and was too lazy to fix it so the demon invasion in the campaign doesn't fire
maybe some day i'll get off my ass and fix it
🤣 Ah! Yeah man for sure fix it up!
Oh man, I used to only play this mod on Attila and I miss it dearly. It's still getting a lot of attention after many years. Please come back :D
I played as Rome in this mod one time. I killed the shah in the first battle I fought with him he had an an elite army too all I had was some Armenian spears and archers
Hah! :D
Great video, but can you charge your light Dothraki calvary into the pitch black lol!
Wow what happen to their heads in the thumbail
head machine broke
😂
May be it's an evolution due to ice age
Total war: Alberta
Exactly!
Gr8 mod making 75k a turn as Rome with some helping mods and the demonic invasion hasnt come and I think it's broke so I just sit around balling through everyones lands! heh
Would be cool if someone made a sub mod that changes the demonic faction into orc faction /Mordor from the lotr mod using all the assets and units or even still just call it demonic faction and just replace units and models to the Mordor ones
Yeah that would be awesome!
I clicked on this thinking it was a game of thrones mod 😂😂
Terminator throws out more mods than I have time to play!:(
Haha sorry mate :D
Hahaha this mod looks awesome
Did.you said Satan? I want to play as the devil!
I did!
@@TheTerminatorGaming Nice! So I guess you did terminated some faction! Aha
why are there headless units thought it was some fantasy type thing
It is semi fantasy mate if you watch the video you see I talk about a demonic invasion 😂
I love historical mods only
Fair enough :)
Does the ERE still have interest rate on treasury?
Oh man, a mod where Satanists are The Enemy?
sign me up!
No heads? :{}
Mod doesn't work anymore :(
I have downloaded it on my current pc and yeah I play everything on quality all boxed ticked like blood and SSAO. Some things are extreme quality other are performance and I have average of 67fps so with a great build I hope it's possible but damn though why don't they optimize Atilla better.
I use FADE mod.
hmmmm, not my cup of tea-the thing with the headless armies
If you like vanilla Attila then you either don’t actually play it or you enjoy spamming the same buildings and rebellion cheese. It is objectively the worst
Don’t know why you would recommend a mod that has cease to update years ago. It also pushes the worst of Attila to a extreme. Making faction like Rome, already a defensive and turtle like experience to a extreme. Plus how can anyone be immersed when AI is not playing the same game with you. They does not take attrition, they does not care about upkeeps….Making things very tedious especially in higher difficulty. If one seeks for challenge there are better mod that handicap player less. Lastly, not trying to be rude to you or the moder, but i just think this mod really falls behind tremendously compare to every other mod you have covered so far.
Hi mate, there are other mods I’ve covered that haven’t been updated in a while. Doesn’t mean its not a mod worth trying.
Just because you may not enjoy the extreme challenge or specifically the way this mod challenges the player, doesn’t mean others may not. You have your opinion which I respect, clearly this mod isn’t for you.
Lastly, you can’t compare this mod to others I’ve covered really, this is quite unique in what its trying to achieve. The modder clearly worked hard to make this mod possible so to say it falls tremendously behind is plain rude. If you don’t like you don’t like it.
This mode seems like it's for massochists
It's not as bad as that. It's good fun for what it is
@@TheTerminatorGaming I was more or less joking lol, I'm still learning how Attila works in general, this mod would whip my ass lol
I'm too much of a pussy to play this mod but It looks cool and really enjoyed the video wll the same 😂
Thank you sir 🙏 Give it a whirl with one of the easier factions Franks or Sassanids its pretty fun :)
Oh come on , I just uninstalled the game
Never uninstall a Total War! haha I've got more mods coming :D
Meh
