Troy: Total War is a mod based on Bronze Age Greece and depicts the Trojan Wars and the Greek Civil Wars at the time. It aimed to create a mod that covered the period of the Iliad, whist remaining as close and faithful to historical detail as possible. The units in the mod have largely been inspired by the movie 'Troy' and have been made completely from scratch, as well as new animations. The mod also includes a new concept to Rome: Total War - the use of heroes.
  
The mod has had a difficult life with team members quitting, civil wars within the development team and sabotage attempts, but three key memebers ([[Zhuge_Liang]], [[Zenith Darksea]] and [[Marcvs Trainvs]]) helped see the mod through to completion with sporadic help from other TWC members.  Since release TTW has generated a small cult following even resulting in the creation of a fan site.  The mod has enjoyed many thousands of downloads although an exact figure is not known.  It is one of only a few Rome Total War mods to reach completion.
