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).
- Faction Cohesion & Rebellion
So, what are you waiting for? Join the battle for Britannia, and experience the thrill of conquest, diplomacy, and war in this epic strategy game.
