TROY: A Total War Saga

Mixed feelings on this one. I like the setting, but am less enthused about the "gods and monsters" bit.

I think I can get behind the "Gods and Favor" system (as at least that means the Olympians won't actually show up in the game), but the mythical creatures being part of the unit roster is a bit much. Hopefully someone quickly comes out with a historical mod that gets rid of that nonsense.

Its just going to be a watered down Total War with the normal GREED with DLC.

TW have been gone for me for a long time, a pity, they were amazing until SEGA came with their GREED.
Thanks for the info.

Mythical creatures are not in the game.They are humans with bullhelmets,etc so no monsters.

"Our truth behind the myth approach has allowed us to draw from a multitude of mythology’s most renowned monsters and include them within the battlefields of Troy as realistic representations of what their true form may have been."

Well the only reason to get the New TW games are the ridiculous units like mythical monsters and super general. The new games aren't exactly complex or laden with good AI.

I agree CA has a lot of projects going on simultaneously. On the other hand, they do have around 300 employees spread across 2 locations (or is it 3 now?).

Absolutely. I'm still chugging along quite fine with the older titles (the good side of ambitious DLC) so I'll give this a miss. Unless the old "cav on the wings, skirmishers in front until foot melee begins" is somehow changed. I swear I'm fighting roughly the same battles since Shogun 1.

Personally I hope (but it'll not happen now) that they change the old 20 units in a stack system and have a more "organic" way to play out battles. I'm over the drag and click stuff for way too many units in a big battle.

Agree with first part.

2nd part did not bother me 2 much but i can also agree somewhat if they can make a better system on that.

Bit mystified by this direction. Would think with the Warhammer Total War 2 engine they would go for the mythical side of things. The Greek faction in Age of Mythology done in Total War. Maybe with the option to call on the gods to join you on the field of battles for short instances. I could work with that.

Wonder or Warhammer Total War 3 is the reason they want to keep this more realistic? Still why go with the overpowered heroes then?

Look forward to see videos about their design choices.

Pretty simple.Making monsters costs a shit load in art and this is a smaller budget game.

Hmm you've got a point there. They would not be allowed to reuse assets of Warhammer probably. Still find it a missed opportunity.
