Political unrest will occur if you are pushing your people into a war that they do not want part of and the opposite will happen if you are too passive against the rival factions. Your people is what will help you set up your large scale armies and their drive for war or peace will determine which actions you should be taking. The characteristics from each rival faction do not have any wavering implications, but it is the battles won off the warfronts that usually help shape the victories. While no army has much of the upper hand, besides in just a few aspects, the battles and factions all play on an equal ground. Waging war on the battlefield and overwhelming the other empires armies to rubble all while keeping political ties with other factions will be as to how the winner of this all out conflict. From the Viking hordes of the north to the empires of the Gaels and Welsh kingdoms, each group will try and claim the victory of the lands and will do so by any means necessary. In this game, you take control of 10 different rival factions in their own unique campaigns for the conquest of the British Islands. Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia delivers where it matters most and offers more than its predecessors without having to go above and beyond. With less to manage on your end and a large focus on an enticing plot with many twists and turns helps bring out the best of this standalone title. If you are invested in this era and would like to try out some of the best battles of the franchise give it a shot.Taking out the core of what makes up any franchise would be considered blasphemy by most, but in Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia, it ends up being a benefit for this smaller take on the epic war series. I always wanted a good viking total war, and so for those of you who are fans of this ear I recommend the game wholeheartidly.ĭon't be hesitant to try out this game. I could go on for days about how great the battle maps are. The map looks gorgeous, but something that looks even better is the actual battle maps, and sieges. I was so happy that finally the optimization issues were fixed. I am so happy I did! The atmosphere of this game is on par with that of Three Kingdoms or Attila.

I wanted to try this game out, simply because of it's setting, and so I gave it a shot. I swear some people made this game out to be a total mess that doesn't even run properly, is so unfinished that it barely holds up, so I was surprised to find out that it is far from these things actually. I was hesitant to even try it, because of all the bad things I heard of it. This game is the most overhated game in the franchise, by far. CA reversed their bizarre decision not to allow the Viking kingdoms to be paganĭespite its issues, I've found myself coming back to this game multiple times, and have always had a blast with it. The "Crusader Kings-lite" politics are actually a lot of fun and add some depth to gameplay - although I think they could have gone further with this Some hated this but I really liked it forces you to maintain forces in your own land, but also allows you to raid enemy lands more effectively A controversial change was giving no garrison to minor settlements. Campaign mechanics have obviously picked up a lot from Warhammer, and are a lot of fun - I particularly liked playing Northumbria, which has to balance its Saxon and Norse subjects While there is limited unit variety due to the small scale setting, it really feels like CA did as much as was possible within the constraints of the setting to make the units feel as diverse as possible The music is great, and really sets the mood for uniting Britannia in a time of chaos

As someone who is really into this time period, I have a lot of fond memories of my Norsemen battling in a forest that is burning around them, or my Saxons grimly lining the shore of a burgh, spears and mail glinting in the rain, as the ships of Norse raiders make landfall. Admittedly the unit variety is less than other entries like Attila and Rome, but for a Saga title (which is what it is, and is priced as, and was always intended to be) this is pretty damn awesome. I think that it's a real shame that this game seems to have a bad rep amongst Total War fans.
