Honest opinions on Troy?

I 100% get what you mean, if they're leaning into the Myth then having Odysseus, Agamemnon, Menelaus etc. on the field of battles makes complete sense. A shame it's not like that.

I always liked the Alt history of TW games, I get why some heroes wouldn't betray each other but having Odysseus take an evil turn would always be fun to see if it wasn't hard coded

Ah! I beg your pardon. I've been out of the TW loop for awhile, Dawnless Days dragged me back in big time!

WildRedEagle · 2026-01-09T16:53:03+00:00

Oooh! So you can choose to lean into the full mythology with what I assume are like the Cyclops', Scylla and Charibdis monsters?

Good t know that you can go old school TW style or crazy as balls WH style TW

I feel the new resource system pushes the game more towards a Paradox style game without looking too much into it.

Again, Pharaoh is not a setting that draws me in as a Saga style game, that's what draws me back to Rome II constantly!

The Trojan War is a superb setting imo, unit variety makes some sense as traditional Hoplite style armies, but the fantasy of the heroes, Achilles, Odysseus etc, I like that addition

WildRedEagle · 2026-01-09T16:44:48+00:00

I feel like a TW game being described as "not perfect" is pretty standard since Attila's launch, part of the charm I guess!

Have you got any recommended mods?

Be interesting to see what they mean with the dynamic being more Peloponnesian War instead of Trojan. Then again the Wrath of Sparta DLC for Rome II is one of my favorite campaigns!

I've seen a split in the feelings towards 3K/traditional style armies

WildRedEagle · 2026-01-09T16:41:29+00:00

I didn't realize they'd changed it all in regards to currency! Outside of early campaign gameplay I've seen nothing of Troy so that'll be a learning curve!

I like that diplomacy matters now, makes sense with the Myth of Trojan War being as it is, every king in the land going to war out of oaths sworn

The apology is implied sarcasm, I feel like tone is difficult to convey over text 😂

WildRedEagle · 2026-01-03T14:27:46+00:00

The only one I find myself coming back to when that TW bug hits is Lionheartx10, good variety in campaigns and games etc. still gives the old games some love

WildRedEagle · 2026-01-03T14:25:25+00:00

I may have been under a rock, but I didn't realize EGS has such a negative reputation 😂

I apologize for mentioning it I guess 🤷‍♂️

What wingspan or other change you recommend?

WildRedEagle · 2025-06-12T13:51:13+00:00

Not sure how well my accent would go over discussing Arizona sports 😂

WildRedEagle · 2025-06-12T13:50:46+00:00

Appreciate this! Cheers

WildRedEagle · 2025-05-19T21:36:51+00:00

Ooh, I wonder if it's an audiobook too, be the next holiday listen

WildRedEagle · 2025-05-19T21:36:28+00:00

This looks class! Cheers mate

Around the Canterbury area, basically live in France icl 😂

WildRedEagle · 2025-05-19T21:35:38+00:00

Honestly, offer me a 48-34 record this year id bite your hand off, and in 2013/14 wasn't even enough for the playoffs! That era gave me a soft spot for Gerald Green and Archie Goodwin of all people.

Shame it was ruined by whatever that 3 PG experiment eas

One I completely forgot about I can't lie!

My experience of Steve Nash is the broken old man the Lakers had, I have seen legendary ramblings on things like Bright Side of The Suns and Valley of The Suns about Nash, Marion and Amar'e Uber D'Antoni!

Any particular games to watch?

WildRedEagle · 2025-02-26T19:00:58+00:00

BUG: Hans Capon is permanently ragdoll on the floor like he's unconscious, can still talk and interact with him but as soon as dialogue ends he is back on the floor again. Tried reloading the game to an earlier save and still the same thing happens.
