Rather than directly intervening on the battlefield, however, their influence spans their entire faction, touching on units, heroes, and provincial management. The Greek gods of TROY influence the game in similar ways to their Homeric counterparts.

You will need to deftly manage a barter economy, conduct diplomacy among friends and foes, and curry the very favour of the Gods themselves before etching your name in the annals of history. The battlefields will tremble under the feet of renowned warriors like Achilles and Hector but it will take more than brute force alone to lay claim to the legendary city of Troy. Experience history as it might have happened or shape the legend for yourself in this unique chapter of Total War. In TROY, the fate of Aegean civilisation will be in your hands – each choice you make will shape the lands from the mythical heights of Mount Olympus to the arid deserts of Lemnos. TROY casts these stories through a historical lens to consider what might have really happened but ultimately lets you decide which heroes will fall in battle and which will be immortalised in legend. Homer’s Iliad is rich with myth, legends, gods and monsters.

Inspired by Homer’s Iliad, TROY will let you forge a heroic legacy in the late Bronze Age, the furthest back in time the Total War franchise has ever travelled. A Total War Saga: TROY will reconstruct one of the greatest stories ever told.
