I know this isn’t the saga forum but since very few people seem to use it I figured I’d post in in the 3K one which is far more active:

@dge1 Can this please be shifted to 3K’s forum?

0 · LikeIs this really confirmed to be the next Saga? Because Troy is not exactly TW material, first it's half fantasy (probably more than half), and it's not really multiple factions fighting against each others. If I recall, it's a coalition of city states trying to siege Troy. The Greek (and Allies) vs the Trojans (and Allies). 1 major faction vs another. Kinda hard to stuff that into the TW formula. And since the Iliad covers a lot of different characters, the diplomacy would be closer to 3K as it would focus on characters rather than armies.
I don't know how I feel about that, tbh. I'd much rather have something more grounded in reality, like the Imjin War or the Fall of Constantinople.

1 · 1LikeAnother thing I hope for, is that the game will be much more historical than 3K, in a similar way how ToB is quite historically accurate. There's just so many colorful civilizations from the period, giving this setting an incredible potential!
And I also hope the (Trojan)Dardanians will be a playable faction!

0 · LikeI'm going by the precedent that ToB brought. The game should be a 3K hero and character mechanics meets ancient Greece setting. I don't know what the campaign objectives and if we'll have more than 2 cultures, that's what I'm most excited about. We will probably see a patronage system similar to the Norsca campaign and 8P alignments chart. 8P seems like it was testing grounds for that honestly.
