This time CA has finally managed to get the impact detection to a acceptable state for a total war game, you will see more shield pushing and cavalry charges has much greater effect as the they should. Combat feels better than ever compared to other modern total war games.
It is just to bad that the setting of the game is really not that interesting. You will either play as the falling western empire, A defensive eastern empire, or as a rampaging horde leaving little place for nation building that we previously enjoyed.
This expansion can totaly be skipped because it serves no purpose in a game suposed to simulate the political situation and court intrigue in the dark ages. Playing as a nomad isn't really that fun and if you are playing in europe this DLC only adds the mercenary band system that you can live without.
The diseases are a nice addition and adds to the roleplay factor of the game. You will see minor diseases spreading from the start of the game and spread slowly from province to province. You can build hospitals to try to prevent the spread but in the games I have played the AI rarely build those.
