[@HistoricalWeapons]

I notice that the game lacks armour piercing missiles due to the time period. I noticed that you tried to use javelins to fulfill this role but they are thrown too far for realism (based on trailers I saw they were throwing 100meters) Normally crossbows or firearms fulfill this role but they did not exist right?... actually the Greeks had the Belly Bow which was supposed to be invented in 400bc. I know that’s still 700 years of difference but it’s not that much of a stretch. Also you could even have footbow units were people lied down and pulled their bows like a crossbow but without a trigger. Anyways just some ideas for armour piercing missiles for future dlc.

From what I have seen, troy might have the best campaign mechanics ever in a total war. But we still need the battle improvements. Make the city of troy a bastion to take. Decorate the city, give it a 20 heavy units garrison. And make an end event where 10-30 stacks of greek armies invade troy.

[@Legion12Centurion]

I really love the Ui and the sort of vase drawing going on the campaign map. Im a huge fan of incorporating and trying to capture a period of history or myth like this. Im also happy to see that the faction variation, since Warhammer days have been more common in the other Total War games of historic or Saga. The different lords on this side all looks interesting. Besides Oddyseus my next favourite character has to be Hector. So probably play him first on the side of Troy. Aeneas also looks very interesting with his gods/talk to old heroes mechanic. I really enjoy Greek mythology so thats a bonus. Oh and pls add Hades as a god at some point, I know his worship was not as spread out or large as many of the others but while it existed I think it could be interesting anyway since hes the lord of the earth, underworld and things like copper, and gold could be tied to him (also in regards to the idea of putting coins on dead people to pay to cross styx) and of course something about buffs or mechanics tied to death in battles and such. Maybe Hephaestus is meant to take that part when he arrives but hes the god of blacksmiths and there could be a big difference if you say introduce a blacksmithing mechanic to the game or tie it to experience or something. :)

[@Yews]

the art does a poor job representing the period P. S. really it doesn't represent any actual historical art style at all; the closest there is to what they've done here is Disney's Hercules cartoon which is far from authentic Greek aesthetic of any period

[@Legion12Centurion]

@@Yews You are correct, its more of how should we say pandering to our often false mytified/mediafied idea of a look of the period. However Its still beautiful and screams greek myth. You are correct of course. Its same thing when games make buildings in this period and they are only super white or brown with no colour, historically there was lots of colour in ancient greece, but when I talk about greece people always see that white marble non coloured romanticised version of it before them.

I would have loved if generic heroes aside legendary ones were in several factions pool, gathering between factions with traits gained with each fights and factions like in 3K. Anyway, the mechanics all looks solids

[@WipeoutVasusu]

it work that way, you are able to reclute other heroes (they are generated randomly) each one have a "mood" that influence their gameplay and with each fight they can get buff, like more morale while besieging, more movemente on the campaing map, more damage ecc... but if you have multiple army and generals they upkeep cost of your units is increased

Honestly, I kinda wish she was a legendary campaign agent that Paris had to actually manage a relationship with in order for her to love him.
