It’s quite predictable and rigid in comparison to some of the competition, but filling out the nine positions of your army with different troops adds complexity. There is a rock-paper-scissors element to this system: so you can expect Spearmen to beat Cavalry, Cavalry to destroy Swordsmen, etc. Taking a very traditional form of warfare, you line up and position your troops and set them of towards each other in formation. The detail of the world map helps with this, allowing you to distinguish between different buildings and items around the world (at least when zoomed in).īut while all the kingdom building is solid, it is the combat – both in missions and with other kingdoms – that differentiates Total War Battles: KINGDOM from similar titles. With an advisor walking you through the opening, you quickly learn the basics of all the systems: gather workers and troops, assign them, and using them to build further structures and gather additional resources. It may not have a huge influence on the game, but this sets a tone for the realism that proves Total War Battles: KINGDOM focus. Your first task is to build a dam and redirect a river, as well as ensuring that you have secure flood defenses. Forge alliances, manage burgeoning settlements, raise armies and embark on campaigns of conquest across the most detailed Total War map to date.You begin building your Kingdom on a hex-based landscape. With ten playable factions, you must build and defend a kingdom to the glory of Anglo-Saxons, Gaelic clans, Welsh tribes or Viking settlers. Thrones of Britannia is a standalone Total War game which will challenge you to re-write a critical moment in history, one that will come to define the future of modern Britain. There will be turns of fortune that become the stuff of legend, in a saga that charts the ascent of one of history’s greatest nations. Throughout this sceptred isle, the kings of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales sense a time of change approaching a time of opportunity. For the first time in nearly 80 years, the land is in a fragile state of peace.
Chastened – but not yet broken – the Norse warlords have settled across Britain. The year is 878 AD, the embattled English king Alfred the Great has mounted a heroic defence at the battle of Edington, and blunted the Viking invasion.
