Oh it's on Epic. Well, eh. I've started to slip in that regard. Gog and Steam both fuck one over anyway so what's one more dick to the body? I got three holes. Five, seven, nine if you get creative.
And it's based on one siege? No big Eastern Mediterranean/Mesopotamian map?
Give:
Hell cut off Arabia and Egypt south of the First Cataract but still.
We need more Bronze Age games but of course they're going to fuck it all up and make it like the movies. I want to see Babylon and the Hittites and Mitanni and Assyrians and Egyptians faf about. Mycenea and Minoa were side shows, comparatively, and Troy was a sideshow of a sideshow.
Pass. EA/Sega whatever is really fapping to the idea of 'heroes fighting heroes and units are sideshow' lately. Warhammer, Three Kingdoms, now this. Boring.

It's a game based on a semi-historical myth about an event that may or may not have ever actually happened. What were you expecting?
Wow that's a pretty shit spread for playable factions, at least in Anatolia. Clustered together in two big chunks.https://www.gamespot.com/videos/how-total-war-saga-troy-brings-myth-to-life-in-a-h/2300-6453041/
Go to around 5:30 to see a shot of the faction selecton screen with all the factions
Free on epic store thats why.After seeing gameplay I definitely changed my mind this looks like a knockoff, why does this even exist?
The latest in the Total War series introduces new terrain types and has its own take on mythological creatures. Senior Game Designer Milcho Vasilev walks up through a gameplay demo.
Didn't they claim in a previous interview that they weren't doing siege equipment "because it wasn't a thing in the period".
Egyptians already had rams, towers, and ladders are so ancient they go without saying. Mining doesn't seem to be attested until the Romano-Greek era, but seemed mature by then. Rams appear in the Tomb of 11th Dynasty Nomarch Khety, and maybe under a mobile structure as well (it's just painted as a simple line), a Tower seems to appear in the tomb of Intef - so we have Egyptians, who influenced Greece up the wazoo, with Rams and towers by around 1500BC.
Here's another siege relief - we got ladders. Dapur, Ramses II.
Apparently Thutmose besieged Megiddo by building a palisade around it, 1450s BC, which doesn't directly translate to the Direct Assaults we like to play in Vidya, but there's a nice tidbit.
Seems like it fucking was a thing in the period, CA. Maybe it wasn't attested in the region, but when the Superpower of the day has these things, hundreds of years or decades before the attested time of Troy, I think it's safe to say everyone else had it, too.
And this is just me literally looking up random junk in the last thirty minutes, who knows what can be found by looking beyond the net (which is far from holding everything in the world) to dedicated research.

Instead we get... What? People ninja-climbing walls like in Shogun?Didn't they claim in a previous interview that they weren't doing siege equipment "because it wasn't a thing in the period".

Talking points again constructed by someone who knows neither the games nor the real history

I told you people, the real Total War Troy is 1) free, 2) richer in content, 3) with its own spirit:

How retarded it is - in the context of the other TW games - only comes to light if the campaign gets really long, which won't normally happen in this mod.Yep, S2 was the most challenging. AI actually knew how to play it, and setup of being placed amid lots of traitorous clans + map full of narrow passageways meant it was hard to cheese and you could see a game over screen at any moment.

4) built over a game whose AI is the most retardo in entire videogame industry (Rome TW).
