About

The year is 768AD and, after the death of his father, Charlemagne is to share the Frankish throne alongside his brother. A situation that ill-befits a man of his vision, and their relationship clouds as he feels the fiery blood of his grandfather, Charles Martel, stir in his veins. Friends, enemies and opportunity populate a continent tired of conflict, the people eager for peace. Charlemagne finds himself at the head of a new age of education, religion and warfare, and sees all as tools to unite, stabilise… and expand.

The UI is still complex and unhelpful (Why does the game show you global food levels when only provincial food matters) and the troops for most factions are deadly dull. Despite that the game-breaking bugs are almost all gone, and most of these factions have interesting missions sets with early and mid-game challenges—especially Charlemagne himself.

Age of Charlemagne is a great way to improve on a Total War engine that sorely needed extra testing and bug-cleaning. Tight, attractive and challenging, it's the perfect way to prepare for the upcoming Total War: Warhammer but also a good DLC in its own right.

Having said all that we don't want to complain too much about issues that were never on the table to be fixed in this DLC, because Age of Charlemagne is a solid expansion to Attila, and it delivers hours of gameplay for anyone who wants to explore this period of history. It does a good job of drawing a line under Rome II and everything that has come since.

L’Âge de Charlemagne n’est pas un mauvais DLC, loin de là. Les fans de la première heure apprécieront les petites nouveautés et améliorations mais pour les personnes ayant décroché en cours de route, ce n’est pas cette extension qui relancera leur intérêt. Les batailles sont un poil moins difficiles qu’auparavant mais l’ajout d’évènements historiques permettra de tenir les joueurs en haleine.

Non è un'espansione enorme - e, d'altra parte, costa anche poco: se cercate bene la trovate a una decina di euro - però funziona nel ritmo e nell'atmosfera. Peccato che la carne al fuoco non sia moltissima, ma è tipico di un buon gioco lasciare il giocatore con un po' di appetito ulteriore.
