Don’t expect much political maneuverings in TROY. Speaking of trade, diplomacy is way more streamlined compared to THREE KINGDOMS: Total War. Over the edge of the map are stylistic illustrations of Greecian tapestry. It’s lush, mountainous and the large Aegean sea at the centre divides the factions up rather nicely, making the early game and late game very different. The campaign map in TROY reminds me a lot of WARHAMMER II: Total War. Character dynamics such as loyalty, families, court and diplomacy are out of the picture for a more streamlined experience.īut in terms of the scale of the map, TROY isn’t exactly small. Mainly, many of the systems from THREE KINGDOMS are not present. Since this is a Total War Saga game, in some aspects it is smaller in scope. They call it ‘The Truth Behind the Legend’. The tales in the Iliads may have been steeped in legendary and mythical elements such as giants, beasts and even the whole idea of the Trojan Horse (which experts agree was highly unlikely to have happened), but with TROY, Creative Assembly went for a more realistic approach. While TROY follows through on the formula set by Total War: WARHAMMER and Total War: THREE KINGDOMS, with heroes leading factions each with their own unique traits and mechanics, TROY adds its own flavour to things. The gods meddle in the affairs of human and vye for their adoration. Take part in an epic tale as heroes clash for justice, for love, for vengeance. With A Total War Saga: TROY, Creative Assembly tries to capture the Homeric Epic of the Iliads.

It’s been an on-again and off-again situation as my personal preference for historically focused games ran afoul with what Creative Assembly has been doing with the past few Total Wars.įrom WARHAMMER to THREE KINGDOMS, Creative Assembly has delved deeper into the characters and heroes. Such changes include wars being fought between generals and their bodyguards instead of one-man armies wielding the powers of gods.Over the years, I’ve had a rather testy relationship with the Total War series.
