One of Alfred the Great’s many reforms was to better formalise the system, ensuring wealthy landowners contributed men and materiel. In Anglo Saxon times, the Fyrd was a form of conscripted army composed of self-armed and armoured freemen, called upon to defend their lands when the need arose. Thrones of Britannia depicts the sweep of the British Isles from 878 AD onwards, when the Anglo Saxons were at their height. ![]() The peoples of these regions came collectively to be known as the Anglo Saxons – a term which came into common usage in the 8 th century in order to distinguish the English Saxons from the Old Saxons, or Ealdseaxe, of the European continent.īroadly speaking, the Anglo Saxons existed between the collapse of Roman rule in the 5 th century until the Norman invasion in the 11 th century the early Medieval period. If you look at the information we have access too, this will be like Troy and Troy is fantasy, not historical.When Roman rule in England concluded, new kingdoms of Germanic stock coalesced in the counties now known as Northumbria, Mercia, Wessex, Essex, Sussex, East Anglia and Kent. I don´t think you understand, the last few historical titles have been fantasy, more fantasy than historical, if we look at mechanics, themes, gameplay and even its historical inspiration. Its supposed to be a fully fledged Historical title this time around. I don´t mind fantasy, but I don´t understand why every single game, has to be either fantasy or hybrid fantasy now a days. I wish they would go back to actual real historical games and features and mechanics that made sense in the historical aspects. I am not going to preorder a secret saga title for this amount of money. I used to love CA´s TW series, but since the last Shogun, it has only gone one way and that is down. There will be natural disasters both in fights and on the map. Lots of preorder and dlcs stuff, for cosmetics to factions and ofc dlcs with new factions. Map has Egypt, Canaan and Anatolia in it. So you pay full price for a saga title here. This title is not developed by the main team, its developed by the little Sofia team and thus not a full fleded title, this would normally have been a Saga title, but they scrapped Saga titles, because they are not popular. There will be many mechanics from the last few titles, ie. ![]() ![]() There will just be your regular factions (it will be 8 factions only) Egyptian, Canaanite and Hittite, each have a few factions to choose from (8 in total) Originally posted by Nilihion:total war pharaoh it's a total saga like britannia / troy or not ?įrom the look of it, it seems to be just another fantasy title, wrapped in as a historical title. 3K had a similar problem being a mostly historical game but with fantastic elements like generals taking on entire armies by themselves without bodyguards, but that game also wasn't a Saga game and made it's DLCs also made it consecutively worse according to people that played it. Troy's problem was that CA split the Total War fanbase with Warhammer and you had new Fantasy/Warhammer fans and the old historical fans who valued "realism" and hated each other, and instead of choosing one style over the other Troy was initially on the fence and thus unsatisfied both sides. Thrones of Brittania was just dull and average. You might not remember, but the thing with Saga titles was that they were smaller games and the reason that they people didn't like them wasn't that they were small but that they sucked or weren't interesting. It's not just going to be a bunch of Greeks, or British kingdoms and Vikings fighting each other. It's map seems to encompass the entire Eastern Mediterranean at the very least if the included factions are anything to go by, and it has a variety of nations/cultures (at least three). Probably not, seems far too big to be one.
