same ++ what a pleasant surprise after 6 years of disappointments (Rome2, Attila, Britannia etc) that made History buffs convert to Fantasy.

[@Sunygamer05]

This is a really fun game. My only big problem so far is that, I played with Agamemnon, and I had lots of vassal (I mean a LOT) and whenever I tried to go to war with someone, or someone else attacked me, half of them just seceded cause they didn't want to join the war, even though they loved me.

[@wargrizzero5158]

Also started with Menelaus. Switched over to Sarpedon because I was getting too bogged down and wanted to start fresh with what I learned. Kinda love and hate that he is the only one who gets Global recruitment.

Yeah, diplomacy is mega-janky.

@@Jorgensen99 have you looked at difficulty level? AI gets a boost/handicap if you play on higher difficulty I believe.

[@Pickatimatrina]

To be honest... I didn't expect this game to be any good. BUT now I am very positively surprised how good this game is. This different infantry classes, not only divided in light, medium and heavy, but also with different roles like defensive line infantry, fast flanking (with bonus), and even introduce bonuses like (good vs sword and axe etc), works better than in any TW game before ❤ Of course there are balancing problems in Troy, but this problems has every TW game at release 😉 That is why we need the mod support 👍

[@nergal9668]

I also love the way they added mythical units at multiple tiers and limited recruitment, allowing you to still get some significant diversity.

[@attilakatona-bugner1140]

Yeah, i really wait mod support for a mod with full "myth" and... classical greece.. it s a shame there is no naval combat for it, tho

[@Pickatimatrina]

I am personally waiting for the Radious Mod. I just can't understand why CA keeps the upkeep so high. I have as Odysseus complete greece including the islands and can't even afford more than 4 Elite armies. The game is vanilla so borring, if I have to conquer Anatolia with only my 4 armies... 3K was the same, but with the lowerd upkeep from Radious Mod I had epic battles with 6000 vs 6000. Waaaaaay more fun for me this way. ❤

[@Gobsmacked29]

@@PickatimatrinaThe reason is probably because more than four *elite* armies is excessive in terms of normal balance. The mods exist to tailor the game to your personal experience, it really shouldn't be the baseline for everyone.

How have you gotten that far I grew fast as Agamemnon but everyone keeps going to war with me.

[@mandytran8023]

Hive Tyrant kraken, one word. Diplomacy. If you war with a faction, their allies will abolish you. First run with Agamemnon and I was at war with like 6 factions in turn 72. I then got demolished by Hector, who had 4 armies against my 2. If you are going to declare war to expand, declare war on factions with no allies/partners. This will mean you can very easily take them out with no consequences. Also, make sure to have a variety of resource provinces. Don’t just capture food provinces but capture all of them.

The Amazons helped us a lot. meanwhile, my Achilles is still trashing Thracians in the North. I hope CA will also fix Lycia conferedating Hector and Paris.

Yeah I wouldn't play Achilles, his campaign needs to get fixed. I spent like 60 turns fighting other Greeks and the 'hot blooded achilles' mechanic is pretty broken where its stuck for me in indignant even when he isn't garrisoned. He's fun in battle but the campaign is really annoying to play. Played Menelaus and Hector and their playthroughs are way smoother and fun.

[@arek314]

@@KnightofGascogne As Aeneas I've confederated Paris, weird major characters are up to it. I also see Troians invading Greeks instead of the other way around. Have you got any use of Aeneas' special mechanic? I think I've used it once and bonuses doesn't seem that amazing. Definitely nothing like the ones shown in this vid: yes, I'd like to get free materials off my vassals, or recruit special units without buildings..

[@KnightofGascogne]

Achilles isn't that broken, It's a good thing he has mood swings bc otherwise It would be too easy. Once you have enough resources, let him go Furious and he'll steamroll everything. It's normal that he fights other greeks 1st, Troy is endgame. restart your campaign or keep saves ;) As for Aeneas, yeah his special stuff isn't great but whatever. You get extra missions to buff him up, but It's very optional, unlike the Paris/Hector. Personnally I didn't like Hector and Paris's start, they're too enclaved, and those allies are dumbasses. I tried Lycia and I'm having a blast. It's a very exotic faction w lots of commerce and diplo if u like the campaign. For the battles, Achilles" iz da best" ;)

Sea people dlc in future?

[@EAfirstlast]

There's a good chance you're already playing the sea people in the achaeans. One of the leading theories is that the sea peoples were achaean (and other greek adjacent populations) raiders and mercenaries. There's also the related idea that greece itself shed a chunk of its populace after a series of wars between the mycenaen city states, and these refugees formed the core of the sea peoples. In this manner, the trojan war itself is part of the sea people's raids and the destruction they wrought. It also depends largely on how greek you categorize mycenaens and achaeans verse the overall populace of the greek peninsula and outlying islands.

I've just started to play Troy. The game is great! I really like some of the new ideas like treading resources. The campaign map looks awesome and I really like the scale of the map. Well, that was always my problem with ROME , Medieval and Empire Total War games, the campaign maps were to small scale. The only weak spot of Troy in my opinion it's the battles, and that's quite significant one, since Total War series (at least for me) is mainly about the battles. And I get that if I want to have some great battles I should play different Total War title like ROME or ROME II. But it's just what I think could be done better. Anyway it's a good Total War game! Different but good. Just, I wish it would be more focused on tactics on the battlefield rather than on campaign map.

[@KnightofGascogne]

Surprisingly, this is an excelent game. I wasn't expecting that, and TTW surprised me. I had it for free on Epic (ik...) and wasn't expecting much, but this game is SO FUN!!! Everything that Rome 2 should have been, and isn't. TTW is visually gorgeous, very immersive and so enjoyable to play.
