Creative Assembly announces Empires of Sand, a Culture Pack coming a week from today to Total War: ATTILA, the Hun and games installment in their strategy series, saying they also plan on unveiling some new free content for the game tomorrow. This trailer is a cinematic showing off the three new factions this adds, and you can grab your tea and crumpets and read on for more on the culture this will bring:

The Empires of Sand Culture Pack brings three new playable factions to Total War: ATTILA. Aksum, Himyar and the Tanukhids. Part of the new Desert Kingdoms cultural group, the pack also features new campaign and horde gameplay mechanics, events, enhanced religion features, and adds over fifty unique units to the grand campaign.

Because of the dramatic impact religious changes had on these cultures in this period, the Empires of Sand Culture Pack includes a number of changes that increase the importance of religion including building chains, victory conditions, events, technologies and overall campaign bonuses.

With new objectives, skills, buildings, religious events, ancillaries and a series of new narrative event-chains for each faction, the Empires of Sand Culture Pack features a huge array of new content for ATTILA players.
