A Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia

This is a much better game than people made it seem form the reviews. If your into the viking age and rise of Anglo-Saxons its great. It has some things done way better than in the older titles but is closer to troy. The governmental system in this is very good and better than troy in some ways but few things that are missing that I liked to see is trading settlements and provinces along with taxing them separately maybe its in there but idk. The units list is not as bad at all as people made it seem very bad and look great. The terrain is good the battle map even has some animals. Battles at the settlemets have settlement features like a mining settlement having a big mine. Attrition is too powerful in my opinion but not terrible and supplies are a great addition to upkeep. Anyways this is a great total war game dont let the comments scare you off.

i understand why people say that smaller scale total war games get stale quickly, and thats true, but also (im not trying to advertize) this game has a mod you might know called sheildwall reforged or smth that just makes it better in every way, (makes a year 12 turns, makes more units maybe i think, reskins units, redoes tech tree, and changes the different cultures thing about them that i forgot whats called) and it makes it so you can play as every faction in the game which adds a HUGE amount of variety and replayablity

played scottland, got good economy and people were happy.
vikings invaded me, then we got peace.
i teamed up with neighbor for protection.
we including the vikings invaded ireland, got much of north ireland.
civil war broke out when i took north ireland.
i won civil war, almost died.
biggest country northumbria went to war with me.
my country was not in shape for such a war so i left.
10/10 best game ever, recomended for viking nerds.
i wish they could include a bigger map with norway, sweden and denmark in one map.

it is a pretty good total war game. Definitely way slower than most total war games i have played which honestly is refreshing because a lot of the total war games like warhammer are fast paced. This one feels a bit more realistic and you cant build a full army and afford attack other settlements out the gate without bigger consequences and affording.

After reading Bernard Cornwall's Saxon and Viking Novels this is the only game for me...marvellous.

polished conclusion of Rome 2 TW and Attila engine spanning on blood and rain soaked and contested Dark Ages British Isles..whether you are playing as Welsh, Scottish or Irish factions or Anglo-Saxon kingdoms or Vikings you will surely have fun. And there is also Norman invasion..
Graphics look nice, both on campaign and battle map especially with mods, factions are deep and differentiated with strengths and weaknesses..units reflect their faction..
To conclude this is a nice addition to library of any TW or historical strategy player..

In my honest opinion this game doesn't deserve the hate. The game has unique features for most factions, and the sieges are great. But do to negative review bombing early on in this games life cycle the game became abandonment and some bugs are still in the game do to CA not working on it anymore. I do recommend getting the game on SALE as it is not worth 40 bucks, but it is still a good game. I had alot of fun in this game
