Total War Saga: Troy
Welcome to Total War Saga: Troy on the TWC Wiki
This page is WIP - content will be added soon
Overview
Total War Saga: Troy has the same structure of real-time battles and a turn-based campaign as the major releases in the Total War Series but is concentrated around one critical flashpoint in history.
At release, Total War Saga: Troy offered the opportunity to play as one of eight heroes, rulers or princes of kingdoms of Troy or Mycenaean Greece. The game includes a multi-resource economy with bartering for resources through diplomacy. CA's Maya Georgieva explains how legends influenced the game design in Myths, Monsters and Meaning: The Truth Behind the Myth
General Information
Total War Saga: Troy was released on 13th August 2020. The game was given away free for downloads in the first 24 hours and is exclusively available via the Epic Game Store for the first year. CA's reasons for opting for the exclusive deal are explained in this blog.
Troy is set in the late Bronze Age, making it the earliest setting for any Total War release. The game is based both on mythological sources such as Homer's Iliad and on archaeological and historical data.
Campaign Map
The campaign map was described as "absolutely stunning" (T.J. Hafer, A Total War Saga: Troy Review, IGN). The map provides incentives to expand, as the more regions you control, the more of the five tradeable resources (food, wood, stone, bronze and gold) you have. Capturing certain regions is also a way to recruit mythical units such as the Minotaur and Cyclops, which are represented as exceptional human warriors rather than beasts (Maya Georgieva, 5 Tips to get you started in A Total War Saga: TROY, Red Bull).
Playable Factions
