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.
