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.

[[Zhuge Liang]] and [[Zenith Darksea]] have since teamed-up again to produce another mod based on the trojan war era called ARISTEIA. This mod requires RTW - Alexander and had single soldier units along with many unique heroes for each faction. Rather than taking inspiration from the movie 'troy' or historical documents, aristeia is a mythical and stylised representation of the Iliad and Odyssey. The mod boasts the best graphics of any RTW engine based modification, was released in Feb 2010 in beta stage and followed up with a v1.1 release on the 24th April 2010. The reception to Aristeia has been incredibly positive and the mod is highly critically acclaimed.
