For anyone wondering why Achilles's sigil is an ant. It's because in Greek mythology the Myrmidons were originally ants who were transformed by Zeus into humans. Legend has it that Aeacus, a son of Zeus ruled over the island of Aegnia. Unfortunately for Aeacus he became the target of Hera's wrath (for being one of Zeus's bastards) who sent a plague to wipe out the inhabitants of Aegnia. With his island kingdom depopulated by plague, Aeacus prayed to Zeus who granted his son a boon by turning the ants on the island into people, they become the Myrmidons. Much later a group of Myrmidons were sent with Aeacus's grandson Achilles to participate in the Trojan War. They were particularly noted for their fierce loyalty and willingness to obey any and all orders from their master.

@Ivor Starkey Yes I have always had a soft spot for characters that is a bit more brain and sometimes a bit less brawn but he can hold his own even if hes not Achilles.

I love the direction you guys are taking with total war. These mechanics add so much more replayability to the game. I am installing the game as I watch this video.
It's amazing how much better the campaign map looks compared to Warhammer 2. Even if slightly zoomed out, nearly all detail gets downscaled (ground textures and tree models especially) very much, this doesn't seem to be true here. Also the water, shalliw water art especially is stunning.
Fun fact, Shaun Been play Odysseus in Troy also play Zeus in Persie Jackson...in all this movies he not die. I guess he should play roles with some greek themes if need survive xD
This game made quite a come-back even before the release. Free for good or bad reasons I can't tell, but i don't know, they seem to put great effort in this game. It's good to see
I may be a year after those above me, but the care that went into the map and UI, the battles, the units, and making each faction feel different from each other really makes the game shine. If you know only the names of people involved in the Trojan War and you jump into Menelaus, you'll have a very different experience than when you jump into Achilles or Odysseus in your next game. I really like this TW game and I hope it receives support for a long time.
For History, these Greek Heroes belong to the Bronze Age of Greece. There is a 1000 years time gap between the Bronze Age (Trojan war, Odesseys, Achilles etc) and the Classical Era of Greece (city-states, Athens, Sparta, Parthenon etc)
Can we have a records mode for generals so if we choose to play “truth behind the myth”, the heros will be fighting with bodyguards with more realistic stats

@@GermanOlle Seeing as the campaign map and artsytle are good that already makes a game pretty good. all games has it flaws but i agree with you i hope the battles are good
Odysseus' campaign mechanics are incredibly limiting and doesnt make sense. So he can invade inland but can't build anything other than the main building chain?
Tobias Kolbe,maybe because IT’S ALL FANTASY! These heroes probably never existed,and we don’t know if even Homer ever existed or it’s just a myth.About Odysseus’ mechanics I can say that is made for a reason,to incentivate you to invade coastal settlements instead of the land-locked ones(practically you must build a sea empire like Athens) guess why,Odysseus lives on an island in the middle of the sea;so it’s kingdom is more effective on the coast that on the in-land
I like the idea of making him favor coastal expansion, but I feel like making in-land settlements worse is not the way to do it. His ocean settlements should just get bonuses. Maybe CA regrets letting the Vampirates settle non-coastal towns
Maybe he'll be a champion or a general you can recruit as him, they're also going to introduce new characters in future DLCs though Patroclos isn't planned.
This is game based on Warhammer engine, so probably TW Warhammer, but both battles and campaign will be different. Troy is an experimental mix of Warhammer and Three Kingdoms with new features, so it should be different experience anyway.
