FREE UPDATE WHAT’S INCLUDED IN THE FREE UPDATE ALONGSIDE TROY: MYTHOS?Īlongside the aforementioned Historical mode, we’re also reworking the supply lines system into an Administration system for all three modes. Units you may be familiar with such as centaurs, minotaurs, and harpies, among others, have also been redesigned and upgraded into their actual monstrous counterparts – expect flight and other special abilities. They can also have a much stronger presence on the battlefield, lending you their aid if you have managed to suitably impress them in the form of unique abilities to destroy your enemies or make your troops into colossi (figuratively speaking). We’ve updated battle maps and the campaign map to bring the Gods of Ancient Greece closer – quite literally, their faces now appearing in the skies above your engagements. Mythological mode has a large number of other changes, gameplay and visual. WHAT ELSE HAS CHANGED IN MYTHOLOGICAL MODE?
Your campaign Antagonist will also be able to obtain their own Mythic Monster – and they will do so before you if you leave it too long.
Once you have finished a Mythic Expedition, your monster of choice will act as an agent on the map, capable of carrying out various special actions, as well as joining armies to fight as a powerful unit. When you can afford to do so is up to you. The cost is that this army is otherwise occupied for its entire journey and will not be able to help in the defense of your lands or your conquests.
When you eventually track down and begin the final phase of the hunt, a mighty battle will take place, with you taking control of the monster if you win. This is a Mythic Expedition and only one can be attempted per campaign, so choose wisely.Īs part of this Mythic Expedition your troops will face five dilemmas you will need to resolve, preparing your army for the final confrontation. Each beast requires a great quest on your part, dispatching a hero and his troops to find evidence of, track down, and eventually fight and recruit the great beast. Each has their own set of associated units, buildings, in-battle and on-map special abilities, and other bits and pieces depending on which you recruit. The three mythical monsters that will be available in TROY: MYTHOS are the Lernean Hydra, the Griffin Patriarch, and Cerberus. The short version is that the two versions will be in complete parity with each other, now and forever. You can read all about that in the TROY on Steam FAQ. That’s correct, so we’re also launching TROY on Steam at the same time, along with all its DLC. HAVEN’T YOU BEEN ON THE EPIC GAME STORE FOR A YEAR NOW? MYTHOS is available for pre-order on the Epic Games Store for £19.99 / €24.99 / $24.99 right now. HOW MUCH WILL IT COST? CAN I BUY IT NOW? IS THERE A PRE-ORDER BONUS? TROY: MYTHOS and the associated free update will launch Thursday, September 2 at 3pm BST / 7am PST. We’ll talk more about this in the near future. This will not only not have access to the creatures and features of the new Mythological mode, but also replace powerful single-entity units and make other changes from the Truth Behind The Myth mode that sits between the two (and will also still be available for play). On the contrary! As part of the free update that will launch alongside TROY: MYTHOS, we are introducing a dedicated historically authentic mode called, no prizes for guessing, Historical mode. Stay tuned for more details in the coming months.WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, SO THIS ISN’T A HISTORICAL GAME ANYMORE?
A TOTAL WAR SAGA TROY GAMEPLAY FOR FREE
You can also pick up the game for free – yes, free – within the first 24 hours of its launch. It will be a timed exclusive for one year on the Epic Games Store. A Total War Saga: Troy releases on August 13th for PC. There are also new terrain types, which should lead to new strategies during battles. It’s an intriguing twist on traditional myths. Mythological units can also be utilized though A Total War Saga: Troy handles them a bit differently – the Minotaur, for example, is more of a large soldier with a bull head that strikes fear into foes. Inspired by Homer’s The Iliad and encompassing the Trojan War, the strategy title sees the forces of Mycenaean Greece and Troy battling it out. And of course, it wouldn’t be a Total War video without some big battles. In a new interview with senior game design Milcho Vasilev, we learn more about the various changes that can be expected. The Creative Assembly’s A Total War Saga: Troy made headlines recently due to it launching for the Epic Games Store this year.
