Looks like it might be less fun if you're not already a fan of the thing, I never gave Warhammer a second look for instance. But I'm looking forward to the Alfred thing. One of the most popular books in Human history is a "cult thing".

Phyrrus was the Frederick the Great of the age. He was a skilled general who took a backwater nation and gave it an advanced military and was able to play on the main stage with all the other powers. The Romans had to beat him by grinding him down with their superior economy and manpower as they could never achieve a conclusive battle against him.

The Cheshire Cat posted:Most of what we think of as the "Muslim conquests" happened well after Mohammed's death anyway, right? Like he unified the Arabian peninsula but the pushes into Africa/Spain and Persia came later Yeah a good starting point would be the wars of apostasy. First reunite the peninsular, then expand against Rome and Persia and then side with either Ali or the Ummayads in a mid game civil war.

Heavy armour was exceedingly rare among Germanic and Arab tribes at 200 CE. The Roman legions themselves were equipped from huge industrial centres and mining complexes that would mostly be abandoned through the 3rd century crisis and during the volkerwanderung.

Unlucky7 posted:I always ask this: do I need to worry about friendly fire from archers if they are attacking a unit that another melee unit is attacking? Yes, they'll hit your own guys and lower their morale. It's worse in Warhammer where some units have poison and other status effects.

They could do a lot more to make the battles interesting. Even ignoring the non-Han cultures, historically they were using chariots, elephants and camels during the 3K period.

Captain Beans posted:This will be very interesting to see how they go about accomplishing that. I think the only way is to give infantry more spell like abilities, things like smoke, formations and caltrops from 3k. Otherwise it is pretty boring to differentiate units just based on stats.They should also take a page out of TW:Area and steal that game's system for hoplite phalanx formations where they had a special fatigue bar in formation that decreased as they killed dudes and moved forwards, and recovered as they scooted backward. They've given us a few details so far: https://www.totalwar.com/blog/bartering-bronze-and-battles-troy-and-the-bronze-age/ quote:In TROY, we have tried to represent the full variety of weapons that we know existed at the time as well as make some unique functionality for units armed with the large Bronze Age shields. This allows them to sling the shields onto their backs and use their spears two-handed or to just move faster without those huge shields getting in the way.

Zerkovic takes a closer look at the units here. I like the visual style but I feel that the unit blocks look a bit too uniform for cultures that glorified the warrior-hero archetype. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WALU-ihp1Q

Some new artwork has popped up on the TW forums: Left to right it's: Agamemnon (???), Odysseus (Archer), Menelaus (???), Achilles (Fighter) -> Hector (Defender), Sarpedon (???), Paris (Archer), Aeneas (???). The four classes are fighter, defender, archer and warlord. So I'm guessing Agamemnon and Aeneas are warlords, Menelaus is a defender and Sarpedon is a fighter.

According to the TW website he has the best campaign abilities we've seen so far: Menelaus: Can recruit units from factions he's allied to and can colonise ruins without an army by spending resources Achilles: Has mood and renown mechanics. Not sure how they work Hector: Does missions for Priam to become the chosen heir and confederate the Trojan factions. Has the best heavy infantry Paris: Also has the Trojan heir mechanic and can use Helen as an agent on the campaign map e.

https://twitch.tv/666878555 The new siege looks good coming from the Warhammer engine. The multiple layers of choke points look like they might just exacerbate the issue of actually defending the outer wall being a trap choice. The devs also mentioned that the seige tower horses are a unique thing for assaulting Troy and it sounds like you have to do missions on the campaign to be able to use them.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VQdVYQoT0g So there's a finite amount of gold available on the map and you need it to hire unique units plus elite units will have a bronze upkeep. It remains to be seen how it will effect doomstacking I guess.
