General Information
Engine
The game engine is based on Rome II's, however the way it works is very different.
Gameplay
Total War: Arena is a new type of game for Total War, which is set in Antique Age, for now.
It is a team vs team battle game where teams consist of 10 players while each player has 3 units to control under the command of a iconic, historical commander. Battles are made on custom made battlefield maps, where team play, strategies, and tactics have a big role.
Along with battles there is an extensive unit tree progression for each faction, where you can unlock new equipments or new units by either unit or commander experience.
Commanders have their unique abilities, which are also bound to a progression system. So just like units, they gain experience and get better in time.
