A Total War Saga: THRONES OF BRITANNIA is a standalone strategy title by Creative Assembly that shifts the series' focus from sweeping continental eras to a "microscopic" view of a single historical flashpoint: the British Isles in 878 AD.

  • Start by familiarizing yourself with the game mechanics, faction strengths, and weaknesses.
  • Focus on building a strong economy and resource base.
  • Explore the map, and expand your territory through conquest or diplomacy.
  • Pay attention to your faction's relationships and diplomacy.
  • Recruitment & Mustering: Units are raised from population pools (levies, retinue, elites) and must “muster” over several turns instead of appearing instantly.
  • Supplies & Foraging: Armies consume supplies; raiding enemy lands replenishes them, forcing constant movement and strategic aggression.
  • Estates System: Grant land to nobles to boost loyalty or risk rebellion – a medieval version of internal politics.
  • Victory Conditions: Each faction has unique “Fame” goals (e.g., uniting the Anglo-Saxons as Alfred the Great or establishing a permanent Danelaw).
