There's a new campaign pack coming out this week for ATTILA: Total War, along with lots of other DLC. Check out the official description:
The year is AD533. Within the last century, the Western Roman Empire has been wiped from the face of the earth.
However, the final bastion of Rome’s glory lives on in the Roman Empire of the East; this still formidable power dreams fitfully of regaining its lost grandeur.
Emperor Justinian knows there is but one desperate gamble left - an ambitious and dangerous venture to recover what is rightfully his, to reconquer the West before all that Rome once stood for is lost to history. The task is Herculean, with barbarian kingdoms now established and thriving throughout the Mediterranean; there is only one possible man to lead such an expedition.
His father’s former bodyguard, hero of the Battle of Dara, and the ruthless suppressor of the Nika riots.
Belisarius is the final hope of a dying Empire, the Last of the True Romans.

The Belisarius campaign features some new gameplay mechanics and a new, highly detailed map of the Mediterranean region. As Belisarius, your task is to reclaim Rome's lost territories from hostile forces, all in service of the great Emperor Justinian. You'll have to divide your attentions between the Emperor, the Empress, and your own wife, Antonina, and be careful not to offend the wrong person. Then again, you can also declare independence and attempt to re-establish the Western Roman Empire under your own banner, seeking glory and immortality away from the court at Constantinople.
The Last Roman’s Campaign map is a vast and highly-detailed representation of central Western Europe in 533 AD, featuring 35 provinces across over 100 regions, including Italy, North Africa, Spain and France. The Last Roman features five playable factions: the new Roman Expedition, the Vandals, the Franks, the Ostrogoths, and the Visigoths, each with their own unique challenges and home territories.

If independence is declared, the Expedition’s building options revert to traditional Roman styles, better suited to the ambitions of an upstart, usurping Emperor. The other playable factions also feature new combinations of Western Roman and Barbarian technologies and buildings.
