First, there’s the Total War Victory which is the same for all factions: Defeat your first antagonist (more on this. I'm looking forward to seeing a lot more of Total War Saga: Troy when it lands on the Epic Game Store on August 13. There are two victory types in Total War Saga: Troy ‘s campaign. Long grass provides a place to hide certain units, allowing you to surprise enemy forces from stealth. Get ready to play in the mud! Heavy troops are at an extreme disadvantage in mud, as they get bogged down and become nearly immobile target practice for ranged units. Since we're doing battle in the Mediterranean, there are some new terrain features that accentuate the battles we're already used to from other games in the series. Epic Missions give your hero tasks that take them on paths similar to their Illiad history and come with giant rewards. These missions are handy for pushing players in directions, acting in the early game as a sort of extension of the advisor so you have some sense of what to do in case you're staring at your armies and holdings with a blank expression on your face. I can choose to ignore them, but it's in my best interests to try and complete them for extra rewards. Missions to complete (quests) are constantly popping up begging for my attention.

It wouldn't be Greek myth without some minotaurs, cyclopes, harpies, centaurs, and gorgons, but those straight-up mythological creatures go too far for the fantasy scope that Total War Saga: Troy allows. It's a world where you can take your favorite characters from the famous Battle of Troy and have them fight it out in numerous ways, all in the wrapper of a Total War experience – that is, taking over a map, building an economy, and using your strategy to put yourself in the best possible position for when those giant battles take place. However, you (probably) won't see any giant monsters roaming around or casters fiddling their fingers to rain down hellfire like you might in the Total War: Warhammer franchise. While it may all have some basis in recorded history, there's a big emphasis on heroes, legends, and myth – you can even earn the gods' favor for subtle effects.
