Spoiler

The next Saga game might be Troy according to trademark application: https://old.reddit.com/r/totalwar/comments/co0amr/the_new_total_war_saga_title_is_troy/

 

[Hellion]

Looking forward to Achilles, Diomedes and Ajax wearing prestigeous, historically accurate, bronze Mycenaean armor.

 

[Wulfric Pinewood]

It's good game, and when you have cold beer near you playing desk it is very good game.

Reusing hoplite assets from Rome 2 and transfering them to Three Kingdoms engine thus justifying the existence of hero units
Genius to say the least

 

[ZeniBot]

This is a stupid idea because everyone knows CA's AI can't seige properly. Troy wins against the Greeks because the Greeks got stuck on wall geo and can't pathfind out of collision.
They should have just focused on a campaign orientated towards more pitched battles like Alexander.

 

[karoliner]

I was hoping they reuse shogun 2 assets and made russo-japanese war. Greeks are all gays and kiddy fiddlers. Decline.

 

[Fedora Master]

But will I be able to make Helen my faction leader/general

 

[Aqualung]

I feel the worst...

"The butthurt of Peleus' son, the direful spring of all the Grecian woes, O Goddess, sing!"

Going by Thrones of Britannia it seems like minimum effort is the name of the game for Saga titles. I like the idea of localized campaigns where you go into deeper detail, but they made some really odd choices in ToB. At least it resulted in Rome 2 and Attila seeing some new updates/content so something good came out of it.

Cant wait for special hero unit ACHILLES that can only take damage if hit on heel

 

[zapotec]

I used to be a demigod like you, then i took an arrow to the heel.

You're assuming that CA knows how to put in localised damage into their game instead of the 0-100 health bar.

I don't even care what next TW game setting is, just give me an AI that has more than two or three tactics in total and cannot be utterly destroyed by simple flanking every single time.
How to win in a TW game:
1. hide cavalry in forest or behind a hill or something
2. wait for enemy to attack (or do it yourself). Infantry vs infantry, enemy cavalry will charge the spearmen you placed on the flanks because you knew it was coming, etc. The important thing is enemy units are tied up in combat
3. take your hidden cavalry and use it to kill enemy general with it (he always stays back), then proceed to stomp through enemy backlines
4. massacre the routing enemies

 

[Infinitron]

They rebranded Fall of the Samurai standalone expansion for Shogun: Total War as a Total War Saga game. OK.

 

[ZeniBot]

ugh their branding gets even more decline.
Now everyone is just even more confused.

What in the fuck does Saga mean anyway this isn't a continuous story they jump back and forward between different time periods and themes.
This would be like calling Final Fantasy a saga.

EDIT: OH GOD! MAXIMUM CONFUSION!

TOTAL WAR SAGA SAGA FACTION PACK! TOO MUCH SAGA FOR MY SAGA.

 

[Max Edge]

I wonder if they stick with history or with Homer.

I afraid we get hellenistic hoplites, hundred meters walls and super- saiyan Achilles.

Actually that’s how plenty of IRL battles were won. Just saying.

 

[underground nymph]

A major questions though are will we be able to play as Brad Pitt and romance other greek men. AI concerns me little.

They could at least add a 64 bit exe.

 

[Horton]

I would also love to see Aeneas, the guy who led the trojans to found Rome, it is going to be awesome.

Most of Trojan war was about Greeks raiding Trojan allies and villages in Troad in true way.

 

[Falksi]

Damn. Saw the title and was hoping it was gonna be an underwater tactical battle fest, starring eyebrowed heart-throb Troy Tempest.........

 

[Aemar]

They'll stick with Homer Simpson's level of historical knowledge.
