The Thracian King’s role in the Iliad is similar to Jack Woltz’ in The Godfather, in that his most notable characteristic is being careless with very expensive horses. He’s a big lad with a big beard that wears a big dead bear for a cape. I’d prefer to end on a high note, so let’s talk about Rhesus first. But it also feels like Troy is well and truly running on fumes for this last leg of its sprint to the finish line. It’s always good to see it stretched and formed differently. Total War’s formula has long been both its Achilles Heel and Trojan Horse, secret weapon and fatal flaw. Structurally, it experiments with campaign pacing and unit recruitment in interesting ways.
Rhesus and Memnon is smaller, more focused, and cheaper.

It’s the end of a year so long that anyone claiming they can remember when it started should be treated with the utmost suspicion, and possibly herded into a corner and kicked in the shins until they repent. I'm looking forward to seeing a lot more of Total War Saga: Troy when it lands on the Epic Game Store on August 13.Troy feels exhausted. Long grass provides a place to hide certain units, allowing you to surprise enemy forces from stealth. Get ready to play in the mud! Heavy troops are at an extreme disadvantage in mud, as they get bogged down and become nearly immobile target practice for ranged units. Since we're doing battle in the Mediterranean, there are some new terrain features that accentuate the battles we're already used to from other games in the series. Epic Missions give your hero tasks that take them on paths similar to their Illiad history and come with giant rewards. These missions are handy for pushing players in directions, acting in the early game as a sort of extension of the advisor so you have some sense of what to do in case you're staring at your armies and holdings with a blank expression on your face. I can choose to ignore them, but it's in my best interests to try and complete them for extra rewards. Missions to complete (quests) are constantly popping up begging for my attention. For instance, if you're looking to do a lot of travel on the sea, Poseidon is a great pick. One way to get them is to complete your Divine Will tree to the top you're able to select a Greek god to worship and reap various themed rewards as you progress. These "myth" units are generally tough to find/and or create, but they can make a flavorful and powerful addition to any army. For instance, a minotaur is a berserker guy with appropriately styled garb. Instead, the developers have introduced modified takes on these creatures that root them in reality. It wouldn't be Greek myth without some minotaurs, cyclopes, harpies, centaurs, and gorgons, but those straight-up mythological creatures go too far for the fantasy scope that Total War Saga: Troy allows. It's a world where you can take your favorite characters from the famous Battle of Troy and have them fight it out in numerous ways, all in the wrapper of a Total War experience – that is, taking over a map, building an economy, and using your strategy to put yourself in the best possible position for when those giant battles take place. However, you (probably) won't see any giant monsters roaming around or casters fiddling their fingers to rain down hellfire like you might in the Total War: Warhammer franchise.
While it may all have some basis in recorded history, there's a big emphasis on heroes, legends, and myth – you can even earn the gods' favor for subtle effects.
