They’re potent, but not as single-handedly powerful as an experienced lord or hero in Total War: Warhammer or Total War: Three Kingdoms. CA Sofia says they’ll mostly be useful fighting on the front lines alongside your other troops, though, and can quickly get into trouble trying to accomplish objectives on their own.
Likewise heroes like Achilles are paragons of martial skill with a Rage meter that builds as they spend time in combat and can be used to activate powerful abilities. The minotaur was able to easily hold his own against an entire unit of regular troops, charging into the fray like a berserker. Play These “mythic” units may be grounded in reality, but they are still very powerful. I mentioned that cavalry aren’t a regular tool in your roster, but Achilles got to field a unit of centaurs – which are basically primitive horsemen, appearing to be as one with their steeds and hailing from a nomadic culture that was ahead of the curve on the whole cavalry thing. Rather, he’s an absurdly tall and buff bandit king who wears a bull’s skull into battle to intimidate his foes and evoke his Minoan heritage. Hector employed the services of a minotaur in the battle I played, but this wasn’t a labyrinth-dwelling man-beast.
There are some powerful “mythic” units to be recruited, but the devs have chosen to take a “truth behind the myth” approach and present them as things that could have somewhat plausibly existed and inspired the later myths. But this definitely isn’t the fantasy battle royale of Total War: Warhammer. I went in half expecting to see pegasus-mounted heroes, giants and gorgons, and maybe a cyclops or two. 4 Images But Homer’s Iliad, the version of the Trojan War most of us are familiar with and a major inspiration for A Total War Saga: Troy, is filled with all kinds of gods and monsters and other mythological madness.
