Similarly, he can also demand tribute of those same resources, though it does put a strain on the relationship with any vassals under his watchful eye. Raise it too high, however, and you may find that you have a revolt on your hands. For example, Agamemnon is the King of Mycenae, and as such, he can set the tax rate resulting in a steady income of grain, wood, stone, bronze, and gold (several of which are new resources to the series). One of the things I liked the most about Total War Saga: Troy is that each commander has their own special mechanic to make them unique. These heroes also represent an easy, two normal, and a hard campaign choice for each side, and are labeled accordingly. Once you decide your allegiance you are presented with four legendary warriors - Achilles, Agamemnon, Odysseus, and Menelaus to represent the Danaans, with Hector, Paris, Aenaes, and Sarpedon as the heroes for the Trojans. The game kicks off with you deciding between the two sides of this conflict - Troy or Mycenae. Focused on the first few months of the Trojan War, it’s this conflict between Troy and Mycenae that forms the foundation for Total War Saga: Troy.
#A TOTAL WAR SAGA TROY REVIEW FULL#
Homer’s epic poem is nothing if not chock full of betrayal. Of course, there is the little matter of the fact that she went along with Paris willingly. Helen’s husband, Menelaus of Mycenae, is outraged and calls to his friends and family to assault the city of Troy to bring her back. Total War Saga: Troy takes the events of the Iliad, namely the “kidnapping” of Helen of Troy by Prince Paris of Priam. If you are looking for that level of deep analysis, caveat emptor. As such, there are nuances I might not have picked up between versions.
I’m going to preface my review with the admission that I’ve been a casual player of the Total War games. The team at Creative Assembly Sofia have chosen it as their first full release in the Total War universe - Total War Saga: Troy. War, betrayal, love, Gods, mythical monsters, and heroes of legends - Homer’s epic poem has it all. There are few legends as well known or as oft-retold as the Iliad.
