New Strategy Title Releasing in 2020 A Total War Saga: Troy

LONDON – 19th September 2019 – SEGA® Europe Ltd. today announced Creative Assembly’s thrilling new strategy title reconstructing one of the greatest stories ever told, A Total War Saga: TROY™. Inspired by Homer’s Iliad, TROY will let you forge a heroic legacy in the late Bronze Age, the furthest back in time the critically acclaimed franchise has ever travelled.

In TROY, the fate of Aegean civilisation will be in your hands; each choice you make will shape the lands from the mythical heights of Mount Olympus to the arid deserts of Lemnos. Experience history as it may have happened or shape the legend for yourself in this unique chapter of Total War™.


Homer’s Iliad is rich with myth, legends, gods and monsters. TROY casts these stories through a historical lens to consider what might have really happened but ultimately lets you decide which heroes will fall in battle and which will be immortalised in legend.

The battlefields will tremble under the feet of renowned warriors like Achilles and Hector but it will take more than brute force alone to lay claim to the legendary city of Troy. You will need to deftly manage a barter economy, conduct diplomacy among friends and foes, and curry the very favour of the Gods themselves before etching your name in the annals of history.

Total War Saga titles channel the grand strategy and real-time battles of a core Total War game into an intense flashpoint in time, letting you determine the outcome of pivotal moments in history. This change in scope and perspective makes Total War Saga the perfect home for innovation, often leading to new ideas that go on to influence future tentpole titles.

A Total War Saga: TROY will release on Steam for PC in 2020. Add it to your wish list on Steam!

THE ANCIENT ART OF ESPIONAGE

Spies are stepping out of the shadows and into the spotlight in the latest video from Total War: THREE KINGDOMS. Learn how this new, advanced feature can help you deceive and disrupt your way to power.

In THREE KINGDOMS, your most guileful characters can sneak behind enemy lines to poison, assassinate, and even incite war.

Be warned: treachery isn’t without its perils. If a spy is caught in the action, they risk brutal execution. Of course, they can always betray you to save themselves, returning to you as an extra devious double agent. Is your star general fighting for your glory, or is another hand pulling the strings?

They never said unifying China would be easy…

Total War: THREE KINGDOMS launches March 7th, 2019.

Total War: WARHAMMER II - PC Review

I have been historically hard on the garbage games that come tattooed with the good name of "Warhammer" or "Warhammer 40,000" and with good reason. With titles like the nigh unplayable Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade or the misguided Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 3, which was utterly ruined and a betrayal to a series of RTS titles that won the hearts and minds of hundreds of thousands of players, my heart has been broken countless time on titles like these. Games Workshop has a tendency to plaster their trademarks on anything resembling grimdark sci-fi to the point of being utterly ridiculous; with 47 titles (FORTY SEVEN! Not including the DLC/expansions!) being released under the Warhammer moniker since 2013 and only a handful being worthy of anyone's time, it is an interesting pill to swallow when a few tend to stick out like a shining beacon of hope. Creative Assembly's Total War: Warhammer series is of the shiniest beacons in the Warhammer arsenal of games, and its sequel Total War: Warhammer 2 continues the trend in excellence.

Truth be told I both groan and do a bit of an excited dance when the opportunity to review a Warhammer or Warhammer 40k title comes along. I do a bit of a hop-skip-and-a-jig because it is a new Warhammer title and I love Warhammer; I groan because they are universally garbage. When I went into reviewing the original Total War: Warhammer I was quite skeptical as I utterly love Creative Assembly and Total War: Shogun 2 is likely one of my favorite games of all time. I was rewarded greatly though, as TW: Warhammer was excellent (followed by a handful of non-Creative Assembly Warhammer and 40k titles that make me want to use NSFW language) so when Total War: Warhammer 2 came out, I was itching to have a round or two with it. Alas, life got in the way and it took a bit to get around to it, but now that things have slowed down a, I was able to take a crack at it and I am in absolute love.

I have always been bamboozled at the quality of the overworld map in the Total War games. They were unique and very different from atypical strategy / 4X titles at the time and have now set the bar for overworld exploration, diplomacy and research. Other titles have managed to come close to similar quality, but often in doing so they lack the polish or excellence of user experience; the Total War franchise reigns supreme in that fact and appears to be continually perfecting its overworld with Total War: Warhammer 2. While the game is stunning, and its lighting utterly fantastic, there were a few battlemaps that felt barren or extremely basic when I compare them with say, Thrones of Britannia: A Total War Saga. Though the trees and other elements in the various battlemaps are absolutely stunning, I do feel that with all of the gorgeous aspects of these maps that there could have been something more than a flat and lifeless-looking texture wrapped over the various hills (heck, some fights I came across were in areas that were completely flat and devoid of character). A small quip, but a noticeable one and one I hope to see improved upon in any future releases. The hardware is powerful enough and the engine for the Total War franchise is spectacular (just check out some of the mods) so it is only a matter of time I suppose.

In recent years Creative Assembly has wonderfully blended RPG-like elements into the hero-building portions of the Total War franchise and it feels far more prevalent and powerful in the Warhammer titles. This is likely due to the fact that abilities beyond the norm are rampant throughout the Warhammer universe so adding making your hero a mounted fireball-flinging doomslinger fits right in…. And it is wonderful even if it does feel a bit linear. The impression of choice is awesome and makes it feel like these units really make a difference in combat (something I have struggled with in past Total War titles). However, it does introduce a tiny bit of concern; with the success of titles like WarCraft 3: The Reign of Chaos and Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 2, which are properties that spawned from traditional and relatively hardcore RTS titles, titles began to focus more and more on hero units and less on the strategy aspect of RTS. I would hate to see the Total War: Warhammer franchise fall into that same pit, where heroes are more important than the army that surrounds them. While that does not happen much in Total War: Warhammer II, it is something I would remain cautious about feverishly supporting. Balance is key …

On the topic of balance, each of the playable races are immaculately balanced; from the bright High Elves to the nasty Skaven, each of the five playable factions are meticulous in their respect to the long-standing lore of each. While in the core campaign, called "Eye of the Vortex" you can play as the TW:WH2 races, which are High Elves, Dark Elves, Lizardmen, Skaven and if you have the appropriate DLC, the Tomb Kings. An excellent little bit tossed to owners of the original Total War: Warhammer is the Mortal Empire DLC which adds an incredible sandbox campaign allowing the use of all of the races from the two games. Any way you look at it, Total War: Warhammer is absolutely massive and it will without a doubt, soak up dozens of hours in your first playthrough. This is easily one of the biggest-feeling games I have sat down to play; perhaps it is the seamless feeling Mortal Empires DLC or that the scale of the battlemap vs. the scale of the units feels different than past games, I do not know. What I do know is that it is bloody fun.

Creative Assembly did something with Total War: Warhammer II that is, in my experience, quite rare in the Warhammer franchise … It followed up an excellent title with an equally (and in many ways, superior) excellent title. Perhaps a part of it is that the Total War formula seems almost ready-built for Games Workshop's vaunted franchise, but maybe it is that I do not see TW: Warhammer and its successor as Warhammer titles, but rather as Total War games with Warhammer skins. So little of TW: Warhammer II feels like the Games Workshop titles of the past, largely because it is so incredibly superior to others that they should not be compared. That does not discount the fact that Total War: Warhammer II IS in fact a Warhammer title, just developed by a studio that has given the world excellent games for 18+ years; few other Warhammer games have the pedigree of success that Creative Assembly has and it shows in their latest releases. Total War: Warhammer II is truly an experience to behold.

Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia - PC Review

Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia is an excellent, if rough, Total War title. While I am not personally fond of the Attila engine, Thrones of Britannia gets on well enough as another entry in the long-standing Total War franchise. Though it feels smaller in scale than the other titles, the sheer number of settlements and counties within Britannia can be daunting at first, however as the game wears on it generally falls to one of three different factions. With the added complexity of Viking invasions that release hordes of screaming axemen throughout the isles, Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia feels a bit like an experiment and one that may or may not pay off. From the 80 or so hours I have put into it, I can say that it is incredibly fun, if sluggish at times, and often ends with me losing yet feeling fully satisfied with my attempt to unite the islands under a single banner.

Though the number of cultures you can choose from seem relatively small, the diversity between them is great indeed, with each culture home to two similar yet wildly different factions. Each faction, like Total War titles in the past, have their own unique pros and cons, though I rarely saw the cons as you can generally strong-arm your way through nearly any scenario. In fact Thrones of Britannia feels far more focused on the (albeit wonderful) combat and less on the diplomatic / economic sides of the franchise. I myself would like to see more diplomatic victory conditions or the ability to use spymasters for subterfuge within foreign lands.

Though missing depth in those areas, Thrones of Britannia is still a great title and out of the long history in the franchise, I feel it is the one most easily picked-up by newcomers. Perhaps that is the goal here; with a smaller, more focused title, Creative Assembly might be able to bring in new players and if that is the case then there is most certainly great hope for the franchise. I partially wonder if the "saga" that is Throne of Britannia is the first of the smaller more intimate style of Total War titles to come. I mean, it would be pretty great to see future "Total War Saga" franchises focusing on smaller areas, perhaps covering North America or even Africa. Food for thought, if you ask me …

Gameplay is similar to Total War: Attila, which is a relative change from my preferred Total War franchise, the Shogun series, but is still relatively easy to pick up. Reinforcing your armies takes place within the army itself rather than in towns and villages like the previous Total War titles and is something of a dividing aspect of the title; I myself prefer Shogun 2's method where you do your recruiting in towns/fortresses then merge with the commanding officers as it seems to make more sense when looking at the relative realism / world-building of the game. I just feel more "at home" by going to a settlement and hiring/recruiting new units since that is where, realistically, you would do the hiring of said army. It is just … weird. However, many players will enjoy that method of recruitment and I say more power to them! The more people that purchase Total War games, the more Total War games might be released! Win-Win if you ask me…

Combat, as mentioned, seems to be the big focus of Thrones of Britannia and outside of performance issues and some seriously intellectually-stunted pathfinding, it is pretty excellent. Unit details are clearer and more graphically fantastic than ever before and it is so wonderfully fantastic seeing the *CRUNCH* of a cavalry charge into a bunch of hapless archers … I could watch highlights of cavalry charges all day long. So satisfying. What is even more satisfying is watching a massive heavy cavalry charge being thwarted by a bristling spearwall … so cool.

The best parts of the combat though are those taking places in settlements or while sieging; lining up units along your outer defenses while you see the siege towers (if the siege armies built them, which they should) rolling in ever closer is an incredibly tense moment. While I was sieging foreign cities I would often run mounted archers up near the walls in skirmish mode to allow them to draw enemy fire in the hopes that they expend their arrow supply so I can quickly move my light infantry in for the taking of walls / opening of gates. Sieges are epic and often provide the biggest rush with regard to combat. Where I truly struggled was in the use of catapults; whether it was in open field or in a siege, my catapults were always useless. I must suck …

Though there are plenty things to gripe about, from the lack of diplomatic options (like subterfuge) to a relatively dull selection of cultures, Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia is still a wonderful experience for both new and veteran gamers. With the seemingly smaller scale, Thrones of Britannia feels more intimate than Total War titles of the past, which adds a certain personal touch to the overall feel of the game. While Total War: Shogun 2 is still the crème-de-la-crème of the Total War franchise, Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia is a wonderful addition to the longstanding and beloved franchise.
