Some new DLC is releasing for Total War: Attila in the form of the Empires Of Sand culture pack. This pack will include three new factions to control which are the Aksum, Himyar and the Tanukhids. These factions have common bonuses including +2 sanitation in all regions, +15 melee attack in desert battles, and immunity to desert attrition. Some new religions are also part of the pack, and their inclusion will have major impact on how the game plays and who you can ally with. The religions are Eastern Christianity, Judaism and Semitic Paganism.
While the Aksum and the Himyar are more standard type of faction the Tanukhids are a horde group. The Tanukhids have rebelled against Rome after the Empire tried to make them convert to Orthodox Christianity. The Tanukhids numbers will grow the more battles that are won, with more people joining the more famous the horde becomes. The Empires Of Sand Culture Pack will be releasing on September 15th, and can be pre-ordered for £5.39.
