The most UNDERRATED Total War EVER - A Total War Saga Troy 2023 Review

- Yes, Troy is actually AMAZING, and I tell you exactly why that is in this video. Troy has always occupied a special place in my heart, and it comes down to one thing - the absolute detail and dedication to creating a holistic package, a game that is so tightly made and focused that everything just fits - and fit they do so well. Troy has the mechanics, the visuals, the vibes, AND the performance any reasonable Total War fan could ever want from their game, and I find that despite Troy being a mythological game, that it serves as an excellent basis - at least campaign wise - for future historical Total War games.
And so, is A Total War Saga Troy worth it in 2023? Should you pick up on the Steam Spring Sale? Let me know your thoughts about A Total War Saga: Troy and this video in the comments below, and don't forget to leave a like and subscribe to the channel :)

You did not even mention the collusion system in battles...
The Economic system is a great addition and I really hope future Total War titles switch things up similarly.
Absolutely, me too!
oof. thats the worst part of the game imo.
crazy time consuming every single turn.
to each his own. but i rather the game focus on empire building. not micro managing trade for half the game play.
Be careful what you wish for my friend.
Excited to see that Pharaoh will be utilizing Troy's economic system.
Ngl Rome 2 had the best UI IMO it was simple what made it less intimidating
As a side note about the graphics, this game has ALOT of detail even with the Blood. You have units fight and die in water and the water will slowly turn red with blood.
Maaan, as a huge fan of Homer (I reread the Iliad every year) and the bronze age, I love this game so much, and his failure breaks my heart deeply
Mods will fix it bro. It's decent now. If you enjoy it that's all that matters
It's pretty good now, launch was rough but everything is really polished now
@lee mills have you been drinking?
Really enjoy this game. Gorgeous game, well-optimized and the battles are great fun. It had a rocky launch but it feels really polished now.
My thoughts exactly
Have you played previous total war games?
@@tomcustis9272 All of them.
@@AngSco30 guess you hated the old ones then
@@tomcustis9272 Nope, enjoyed most of them. I wasn't really into Empire but it wasn't a bad game, just wasn't my thing.
I like a lot of Troy's campaign mechanics... if only it was a gunpowder Era game with the extra resources and unique faction mechanics
Exactly, I really hope future games can learn from it, especially in terms of those mechanics.
Sounds like it would be the perfect platform for a "gunpowder era" mod then. Not really (well that's debatable, but it certainly depends on the TW you're talking about) enough of those around imho.
I'm not sure what the mod scene is like for the game (that whole variable nature of how easy it is to create mods for the different games). But yeah, seems like it'd be a good candidate.
@We'llAlwaysHave VALIS I though about it, though I'm waiting to for the campaign map editing tool that the Rise of Mordor team is developing to be released before I would start.
@@thesiberianproductions3748 oooooh hype!
Weirdos and your gunpowder, it makes every single game boring.
Give us bronze age TW not another shitty gunpowder clownfest
Penthesilea's campaign imo is the best horde style campaign in total war to date. Her campaign was so fun for me that after i beat it on normal difficulty, I immediately played it again on very hard. difficulty.
Awesome! What made it so great, you think?
@@AndysTake I really like her faction mechanics and the Amazon's unit roster. And the way you have to be super tactical with your armies in her campaign compared to others since you can't reinforce. It also a pretty short campaign which I prefer.
I love Memnon's campaign. I play this exclusively whenever I play Troy Total War.
My two favorite features from Troy was the multiple types of resources and the battle maps. They should DEFINITELY carry these features forwards into the next historical title.
@@Maddog115Warhammer III isn’t looking so good..
I haven't played it in a long time (even before the massive mythos update). Two more points I remember in addition to everything said in this video was the performance of the game and the responsiveness of units in battle.
A lot of Total war titles have issues with FPS drops, but I didn't experience much of that at all with troy. And the graphics are pretty much perfect.
They definitely are! If you haven’t played it since even before MYTHOS, I HIGHLY recommend checking it out again :)
@@AndysTake It's definitely on my todo list
Man, I really love Troy for a lot of the same reasons you listed here. Wish more people felt the same way you do my friend.
You and me, Happy, you and me.
Indentity Crisis, Troy doesnt know of It wants to be TW: Age of Mythologies or Bronze Age Total War.
I would go for age of mythology total war like the old game similar to age of empires. Trojan war would be more like a DLC scenario like barbarian invasion for rome 1. And there's nothing wrong about bringing real world mythology to total war. Fantasy titles and history separated.
But does that not ignore how 3K Romance successfully occupy somewhere in the middle of those two extremes? Troy certainly can repeat the same idea, no?
Wow some idiot talking trash on games on the Internet wow who cares about your opinion
I played Troy the day of release for a few weeks and I absolutely loved it! It was not a title that I would binge for hours upon hours, but the sheer beauty of the game kept me entertained. I felt it did a great job enrapturing what a saga title should be. A good short and fun campaign to take breaks between the main game. Also it may not be a historical title, but adding basically and Age of Mythology Total War is a great middle ground. I wish they would model more Saga's like Troy
I really wish they'd go all-in on making an Age of Mythology Total War. Just use Troy and add a world map with Mesopotamians, Egyptians, Germanics (including Scandinavia), Celts, Slavics (particularly Lithuania) and boom, you have a huge playground for a mythology game.
Wow, you really managed to capture your love for the game in this video! I've become so accustomed to sarcasm snarky reviews in the field, it's so refreshing to hear something so upbeat. Thank you :)
The music vibe feel of this game hits different, Before playing watch the film Troy it adds to the flavour, it runs extremely well
Or read passages of The Iliad, if one has extra free time.
Troys economic system and battle maps (terrain system) are the literal best in any total war game , hopefully they take this and add it with the systems from warhammer , the diplo from three kingdoms and make the perfect game (hopefully med 3)
Idk at $40 dollars just for base and $70+ on everything is expensive af
It’s literally like 35 dollars for the ultimate package on sale right now :)
Troy is my favorite total war game of All time 😁❤ and i played all total war games, but none was so charming and has so cool units like Troy
Yes, Troy is actually a good "little" Total War. Everything you said is 100% correct! I like almost everything (especially the mix of Bronze Age setting and mythical units), but there are some things that are unfortunately not really good:
- Unfortunately no Anatolia and the Hittite Empire, as Troy's other opponents.
- Unfortunately no Egypt/Levante for Memnon.
- Unfortunately, combat animations and sounds in battles don't look/sounds great, especially the "normal" human units.
Otherwise: There are two great mods, each appealing to two types of Total War players.
1.) "Agony" for history fans. Plays like hardcore DeI, new factions and mechanics; no (semi)mythological units so purely historical mode.
2.) "Extended Factions Mod" for all modes. Name gives it away, new factions like Athens as well as units are delivered.
PS: I love the soundtrack of Troy... just relaxing. :D
Nice to see this game get the love it deserves. I got it on sale a couple years back (after they ironed out the kinks). Given me some of the greatest battles and moments in any TW game.
''it is a pity that aigypt wasnt included in the game'' and they give us Pharaoh for combination :)
As a work of art Troy is 20/10. Breathtakingly gorgeous.
Wonderful color pallet, lovely music, the vase drawings for the sky, and I seriously was sold on the Mythos dlc just by those statues on the campaign map.
I really want a bronze age total war .
Same man.
Isn't this bronze age?
The Mycenean Greek siege of Troy is literally the bronze age
@@carlosalegria4776 nah like a historical bronze age on the scope of rome 2
@@MrAwrsomeness People with an IQ higher than room temp knew exactly what you meant
I tried Troy for about 30 minutes and didn’t think I liked it… you’ve persuaded me to give it another go!
Amazing! When did you play it last?
It was only last year so fairly recently 😅
I have finished this game with all factions and twice on Legendary with Phthia (Achilles). Amazing game!
Thrones is the most underrated. But yeah Troy is still pretty dope. I think not including heroes like patroclus as single entity heroes was a mistake. He should be able to join achilles army. Also myth mode should have had prophets and priests which could "do magic" . they had the engine, and i think it can be modded into the game?
I don't think the battles are bad or even sub-par compared to the campaign, they changed up the way flanking works so that the nerfs to MD from flanking affect the unit as a whole, not the just the model in thr back of the formation, making pinning and charging much much more effective, and making the front line combat more effective too since the whole unit is weaker as a result of the flank now. It totally changes the pace of the game and makes factions without much ranged units more viable on high diff.
I see the game in much the same eyes as you, I love it all, the unique mechanics of each and every hero and their ancient appearance in them, the many different cultures and armies of ancient Greece and its neighbors, how the character and affiliation of each hero is translated in their playstyle, the fact that although there are only 2 factions (kind of) the hero you chose makes the army extremely different than your allies, even the trade system and so much more.
I'm pretty sure though that if you where also Greek like me you would see an extra love for the game. (we tend to learn much about our ancient past and be proud of it since very young) Also I personally prefer the Trojan factions and their allies (though it is historically debated its quite likely they where also Greek. Hector who is my favorite character has a Greek name after all.)
By making this video I believe the boat man is already paid in advance and shall give you a free ride when the time comes. (knock on wood)
I agree wholeheartedly man. So much to love about this game, ESPECIALLY the economy system. And while I’m not Greek myself (Brit 🇬🇧) Greek history and mythology was one of my favourite topics as a kid and really kicked off my love of history. Crazy how a brand new game can make me feel so nostalgic 😅
I did get this game for free, but I am like you and prefer realistic historical settings. After looking at the reviews at the time, I decided not to take the time to play it. one of the things I like about your channel is that you always take a unique perspective, and try to convey what the developers vision was for the game and highlight things that most other gaming channels don’t bother with. Once again, you made me interested in playing a game that most people wrote off. You should be getting a commission for this lol. One of the thing that has turned me off with most total war games is the AI. How is it comparatively in Troy?
Thanks for saying that, my friend :) the AI honestly doesn’t bother me, at least in terms of I haven’t noticed it being worse than elsewhere. If you want an even bigger challenge though, consider checking out the Agony mod, that might be up your alley :)
@@AndysTake good to know thanks!
With some mods that overhaul certain things and flesh out some of the ‘minor’ factions and add units this game becomes SO MUCH better! I personally really enjoyed this game a lot and still enjoy it thanks to Modders.
Which mods would you recommend ?
@@zaboomba6635 I’ve heard Agony is pretty good as well as Extended Factions
I recommend David Gemmell's Troy trilogy. First book is Lord of the Silver bow. Fantastic series that sets the scene fabulously for this game.
Since my pseudo is from this book, i am more than agree with you ^^
I would also recommend the Troy novels by Glyn Iliffe. Fantastic series told from the pov of a fictional character who is odysseus's best friend and lifelong companion who himself has an interesting and well fleshed out arc.
Troy is PERFECT for a total conversion to Lord fo the Rings. They have actually flying beasts for their fel beasts, heroes and magic for Gandalf and Sauron and great monsters to use as trolls, ents and much more.
AND amazing performance and visuals! Holy shit, maybe when the modding tools come out (which work with Troy), it can be revitalized as the prime LOTR campaign candidate
@@AndysTake how much does the map need to be tweaked though?
The economy system is my favorite part of TW Troy!
I've been playing again recently, mostly constantly restarting as Agamemnon cuz I keep feeling like i _Could_ have started better blabla lol! This TW has just a different enough feeling that I actually didnt really care for it when it came out (even tho i preordered i think 😕) But im vibing with it now! I am having some difficulties making a full connection to how it plays and idky. Just gotta keep at it and maybe start an easy difficulty game lol
Definitely one of my favourite Total War games. Great for epic historical battles. Currently playing a Rhesus campaign
When did you played it for the last time?
@@Juvelira today, just classic mode though.
Well said
This was the first Total War game I've ever played and I've played others since then
But I keep coming back to this one
Troy is my favourite Total war game. It is definitely underrated.
"That you learnt to love from Disney's Hercules" - Speak for yourself there dude, for me it was a few visits to both the "British" and "National History", museums here in the UK, respectively.
But I was (and am) an absolute history nerd and as such visits to such places were absolutely hype for me, and even though it was a very long time ago now. To give you some idea of just how much time has passed, you were still able to touch the Rosetta stone (although I am sure that it was a replica) at the time. Doing so is a memory of particular preciousness for me, both due to the historic usage of the object and the significance it held in our understanding of the ancient Egyptian language.
For those who read books, try my post-Troy novel *The Diomedeia: Diomedes, the Peoples of the Sea, and the Fall of the Hittite Empire*, by Gregory Michael Nixon.
good video Andy, I have played total war since 2004 and i can't hate troy, the campaign is good and the music is amazing. There's issues with the battles and stuff but the prayer mechanics, campaign play is what makes the game unique. It's definitely underrated.
the middle game when all of a sudden tiny factions start declaring war on you en masse is a bit annoying
I think i will give Troy a try. Thanks
Honestly this game is addicting to me.
Quick battles
Gorgeous map/ battle maps
Factions with different mechanics rock.
And man that economy system!
i just wish it had diplomacy and marriage and leaders who can actually die and pass on to their sons etc
I've been playing as Agamemnon and doing well. I became allied with all the major Danaan factions early on; Pylos, Phthia, Argos, Sparta and Ithaca. I also managed to turn Salamis into my vassal and uphold positive relations with the Greek states that are my neighbors, including Boeotia which starts off pretty hostile but I managed to make them friendly. Hector was harassing Achilles and since I didn't want to let all the Trojan states destroy one of my allies I declared war on them thus beginning the Trojan war. Everything was going well, I sent my armies to attack Trojan lands while using the coordinate military target function to get my allies to deal with any pesky and weak Trojan armies being sent to the Greek motherland. I literally just captured a major city held by Paris in the middle of Anatolia and began building up my third army after capturing a food and copper production settlement but right after capturing the region capital, Sparta, Ithaca and Argos decide to make peace with all the Trojans and don't want to attack the small coalition led by Paris and Hector nearing Mycenae. The problem isn't their army cus I can easily destroy it once my third army is complete, but my issue is that I don't want my allies to sign peace with the Trojans. I assumed that the whole point of this game was for the Greek states to be at war with the Trojans after a certain point with two large alliances clashing and constantly attacking one another. If I'm the only one fighting the Trojans with my two relatively small vassals that is going to be pretty game breaking so I decided to suspend the campaign until I figure this out. I'm sure there is some way to cheese this like making peace with the weakest member of the opposite alliance and then declaring war on Troy again, but I'd like to know why exactly my allies are doing this? It's really annoying, and the only reason I can think of atm is that I have become an 'established threat' in the diplomacy screen, though my reliability rating is very high and all my allies are very friendly towards me. Any thoughts?
Play historical mode then
I liked Troy, especially since they gave it away for free at launch
I remember watching a video of when it first came out and people saying how awful it was. I never got it. I wat he'd your video, and now I'm curious to look into it, especially since it is on sale. Medieval 2 is still my all time favorite since it is still so playable and loved by the community DaC is the best mod for total war
We can only hope that Troy with its beautiful art design, functional battle maps and new campaign mechanic will be the foundation for the next generation of TW games.
If todays graphics, scale and maybe extra features had the consistency, it being realistic, and quality that old games had, it would be best strategy game of the year.
Btw, even tho the numbers are still way too low, its nice to see that every other video the number of subscribers in relation goes up slowly! I Really enjoy your content man, go on!
The trade mechanics in Troy were second to none. The diplomacy and map conquering was really good too, the only reason I didn't like it was from the lack of battle mechanics. I understand formations weren't really a thing in this historical period yet, but something that slows it down would be great
Agreed! I personally would’ve loved formations for shielded spear units especially (spear wall?), just something that would’ve made it a bit more tactical against charging horses or mythical beasts or even arrows honestly
Actually, Troy has introduced new battle mechanics to total war - Flanking and Weight classes.
Flanking drops melee defence of whole unit, not just model, therefore your frontline is even more effective. And Weight matters a lot, both in charging, disengaging and dealing with chariots. It is like having a parallel combat triangle on top of standard combat triangle.
With several mods including matched combat, I almost exclusively play Historical mode because, with these mods, the gameplay feels like Rome 2.
Troy not doing massively well, I expected. Troy being despised, I did not. I really don't understand the vitriol towards Troy: yes the Mythos DLC should have been how the game was released but oh well, it's now a really fun, really interesting game with loads of unique and well done mechanics (some of which even the main line games haven't done right yet) with a gorgeous artstyle across the board and is genuinely one of the most well optimised Total War games, not just in terms of gameplay, but for modding tools as well.
This is hands down the best vanilla historical Total war game right now. It reminds me of Shogun 2 in being highly polished and focused on a specific time and place. But it's got plenty more depth to it both in campaign and battles. I briefly tried it at launch and disliked the 'truth behind the myth'. Came back after they added the proper historical mode and I absolutely love the direction they've taken with the generals and their bodyguard unit, and the focus on various types of infantry. And the battle maps are the best in the series, clearly learned from their work on TW Arena.
Great video as always Andy! Excellent editing too! I'm so tempted to buy this now. 😂
Oh you totally should, Evan! ;) thank you so much for the kind words!
I have a spare account with this game. Created it when Epic gave this game for free. Contact me. I'll give you for free.
This game deserves more praise and attention, so this video is very welcome. Though I don’t understand why you (and many others) find the battles to be meh. The more I play Troy, the more I find it to have the best battles in all Total War (though I only play Truth Behind The Myth mode) because all unit types work (on legendary), maneuvering is very important to success, sieges are good, single entity units aren’t OP, and the AI isn’t a hillcamping nightmare. Great game.
Yeah, I’ve been trying to figure out this complaint. I’ve played every Total War besides Empire and Napoleon. In those gunpowder focused games I never attempted a campaign yet just custom battles. I’ve really enjoyed the combat and the time infantry types and weight classes play. Selecting them with more attention really adds more tactical depth in conjunction with the battle maps. I like how I’ve been able to squeeze out victories with lesser quality troops using maneuvers and strategies on the field.
I’ve seen some people mention the unit collision, noting routing units going through their line then coming back to flank them. I don’t have this happen to because I usually have units chase them down, time the mass route well, or the unit takes so long to come back after a route that I can reposition my troop. I tend to use guard mode on my front line units as well, so I don’t expect them to chafe or engage the routing unit . If I give them the order to attack after the unit routes, I haven’t notice the enemy unit running through them without suffer heavy casualties.
Some complain of the lack of cav. How common was cav back in this time period?
Nobody seems to be able to explain why they don't like Troy's battles. Everyone mentions this collision thing, but that's such a minuscule part of the battles it's a shame to even bring up. I'd say they just don't know how to engage with the battles and don't know units have types that actually matter for once. I.e. it's a git gud situation.
@@viamdolor9226 I had the same thoughts as you. I’ve actually enjoyed the battles. The unit roles are not so cut and dry. There are many factors that help change the battles up. I think what some people don’t like are the animations. I’ve seen comments made about the way units fly back when hit by missiles or some of the kick animations.
Been waiting for this game to go on sale... anxious to FINALLY try it out when I get home from work!
Excited for you, hope you enjoy it! :)
its way cheaper on CD keys
Yeah. I never understood the hate that Troy Total War got. I always thought it was people being over dramatic and kinda stupid.
I love the aesthetics of Troy. Wish they'd made TOB map in the same way. Tbh I've hardly played it though. Partly because I got it on the other service and rarely log on, but also because of a lack of cavalry.
It is underrated and man can we just talk about how smooth and optimized the game is!
After being pretty much obsessed with total warhammer (thousands of hours) because of my preexisting taste for the setting, I realized I had Troy about a year ago and tried it because I was feeling like I kind of got into a rut of just doing the same thing in total warhammer. And I was absolutely blown away. *Everything* was more in depth than warhammer. The factions, though not different as dwarfs and lizards and elves, *felt* more different, and in depth, with positioning of units and the battlemaps mattering more, with the complex economic system and the fun god mechanics - and the monsters felt better in this spinoff game, where they were DLC, than they do in total warhammer!
That started my journey throughout the rest of the franchise. Total War Three Kingdoms is my new favourite in the series, but I've played Attila, Rome 2, Shogun 2, etc (of those, Attila is my favourite). It's amazing what I was missing and it's thanks to Troy that I got into those in the first place. Now, while warhammer's games are easy to turn my brain off and thus I can get 'more time' out of them, the other games are simply more complex and interesting. Seeing how people were so negative on troy in places I talked to about it, I plan to play Pharaoh as well soon, because I like the bronze age - and a lot of criticisms I've seen of it that are given from warhammer fans seem to be bad faith in my opinion.
Unfortunately, I think marketing is a big part of it. They don't know how to market the mechanics of these games that people actually like them for - so the big monsters and fantasy of warhammer is what attracts the most attention. And with all that, I'm hopeful that CA Sofia get to be in charge of a gunpowder era game which has all the good of their games so I don't ever have to play the bloody Empire again to get my 30 years war fun. Though i'd also love a three kingdoms-mechanics game set in korea, china, and japan in the 1400s-1500s to have the gunpowder era going into full swing
Just picked it up, Im huge Rome 2 and Warhammer 1,2,3 fan. Thanks for the great review, loved it.
I played troy a lot before the mythos expansion, never tried it again after release because of time and money. But I absolutely loved the economic system, it made diplomacy finaly be something interesting, where you would find yourself negotiating with everyone so you could be able to get that unit, building or tech. And in the mean time you plan your conquest so you wont break after de deal expires. Wish all total war games had that mechanic, for me it was a great improvment.
I LOVE Troy and i never understood the hate. not only bc of the greek mytholigy setting but bc a lot of the city and campaign map mechanics are just the best TW ever did. Im still waiting for the DLC to go on sale bc i got it on epic but I enjoy it a lot! Good video bro
We need a good game that is based on real world mythologies, just like Age of Mythology did, and the concept is actually really good, as it actually bends our reality and gives a fantasy-reality hybrid, and it fits the antiquity really well, sadly after Age of Mythology no one did that, but since Age of Mythology retold is one it's way I think there's might be a revival to this concept
Agreed. Rly like him
Now i just want the Mythos dlc but i found it to be so expansive. Is like buyng a new game for not even a FACTION dlc.
Did a play through as Hector when the game first released, haven't touched it since. I would kill for an Empire 2 though.
Dam I forgot how great the music in this game is. Now I'm definitely going to have to go back to this.
I got Troy for free. Wish they made Helen more important to other factions.
After patches the game is was left in a good enough state and the Mythos dlc is great.
I like Troy having 3 game options too amd with duels and resource management and the gods, it's much harder than the warhammer games. That and no siege stuff so sieges are harder
I love Greek Mythology and i love this game but i have started like 10 campaigns and i always get destroyed by another faction or my economy dies and i have to stop 🥲... in other Total Wars i do fine, i dont know what i am doing wrong... i guess i will try again 🤷♂
thank you for the great video! Got it a very long time ago for free on Epic but never really got to play it. Just downloaded it again and excited to play. I like your enthusiasm in this video.
I got this game for free on Epic, really glad I did. Bought Every DLC since. Every faction feels really unique and they did a great job with the campaign mechanics. I love the resource system too. This game should get more love, it's really not bad.
I love the game. I just wish tje Bronze Age world was expanded. I want to see Egyotians, Mesopotamians, Hittites, Sea Peoples.....that wouldve made it a masterpiece in my opinion.
As a beginner who got the game for free, it’s early ness in the timeline and therefore relative simplicity compared to other total war games is a total win, and despite the fact I’d have to pay to get more fantasy flavor, I’m glad it’s an option, for now however simple straightforward battles are scary enough WITHOUT having to fight a giant 3 headed dog, besides I kind of want to learn the lore of the Trojan war so I can appreciate it more
I think if the map was larger it would've been a banger.
What I think is especially underrated is the game's historical mode which like Rome II I really like how you can change the unit type of your leaders so maybe one day they are leading a band of infantry while another, they are fighting on horseback or chariot for speed and mobility. Not like Three Kingdoms or Shogun II or where you are mainly stuck with cavalry who can dismount.
Troy truly is a fantastic game. I thought I wouldn't spend too much time on it after I went back to it with a gap of a year. Ended up adding 50 hours in the space of a week playing as Agammemnon. The visuals are fantastic, AI is solid and challenging. The different mechanics for each lord is amazing. Actually looking forward to buying the DLC and further enjoying this masterpiece.
Please CA, next time spend a little more time before launch and think about what should be done with the base game a little more. Had you released Troy in today's state...MAN..this would be on top.
I love the system to play a massive war against another big fraction with many allies. It has a little bit feeling of a World War for me
Love your content bro. Keep at it and one day you'll blow up for sure!
Thanks for the kind words bro, appreciate it!
Damn you convinced me to buy the game and subscribe ahahahah
feels like the game is in that weird limbo zone that hasn't attracted many fans. personally, I would rather them jump back into a fully historical title again.
Oh definitely. But meanwhile, this is a great title on its own
Waiting for the LOTR mod for Troy.
I dislike the whole arcade bullshit and prefer the style of atilla with the good features of troy would make a good game even so I prefer MED 2 and such
Had a lot of fun with it when it launched but the way the units run through each other like water was really off putting in the long run. Never played it with the mythos expansion though.
Love performance, campaign map gfx, don't like UI, battles, unit roster... Got it for free, but now playing Attila and Rome 2. Done with 3k. Will try Troy again.
i love troy, love the graphics, smoothest running total war game, super fun, was my first total war game and still probably my favourite
The main problem with this game is the fact that repacks still don't have the DLCs in the game.
It could stand to be more expansive however it is definitely one of the most fun total wars ive played. And i like the economy style, royal decrees could stand to be either more expansive or more impactful decree bonuses
I think someone already told you, but the monsters caching is not special for Agamemnon, its there for every faction in Mythos mode
I liked the game but i had big diffuculty when the invasion started. I never had enough recources to have multiple armees in order to defend my cities. That one feature i miss: Having armees without the need of a commander.
What happened to the Agamemnon's Ambitions mod for Troy made by the DEI dev?
The game does not need tactics because has to many infantry. Just make anti infantry, chariots for the win.
your videos want me to get into total war series again! great videos!
After seeing this video on how CA added the capability to have a mythological campaign, I think it's possible to have an Arthurian-legends based campaign in a medieval 3 total war game.
“That you know from Disney’s Hercules”… cries in melanómorpha
Thank you for making both Troy and Atilla videos, because I would never consider them.
my pleasure,. my friend :)
I had no idea this existed! Thanks!
Oh wow! Have fun mate ;)
Love it. I will download those mods. I really love playing as Memnon.
Where is the music from playing in the background? It's beautiful.
Isles of the Blessed from the Troy soundtrack
I never even gave this game a shot. It looks awesome. In warhammer the units just stand there rotating in place the whole battle. It looks awful. I wonder what happened that Troy (and 3k) doesn't have that problem at all?
Troy is one of the best TW games made in recent times in my opinion for the same reasons you mentioned. It has its own personality, amazing art and UI style, new mechanics on both campaign and battle. The new resources being tied to settlements, interesting new factions and religion mechanics, terrain changes, general/hero archetypes. And all this from "just a saga" game. I simply don't understand the bad reviews it gets.
I wish the next historical TW game is made with the same effort and passion as Troy. And of course, I wish the next TW game is made with a new engine built from the ground up. I believe most of TW game issues and bugs arise from poorly built old engine with spaghetti code.
Ya this game is pretty amazing. Its just in the shadow of total war warhammer. I love the economy and diplomacy something warhammer is severely lacking.
Thanks for reminding me that this game exists! Got it from epic store at release because it was free and totally forgot about it.
