Epic is putting out stuff that is very tempting...

I've claimed a bunch of epic stuff. Yet to actually install any of it though

Is the Total War Troy game going to feature a single province which takes 10 turns to besiege? I hope so

I think they are expecting poor sales for the Troy game.  Nobody seems to like it.  It caters to neither people interested in the Bronze age or people who are interested in the Greek myths.  Instead it looks more like Hollywood fantasy with out the fantastic elements.

[Josquius]

I haven't followed its development at all.
But the melding of fantasy and history seemed to work well for them with three kingdoms. Maybe with this they're effectively doing Rome 3 but with an earlier start date and fantasy elements?
I guess the name troy they figured sold better than illiad or greece or whatever, and didn't they already have sparta?

I don't think so, this was supposed be like their Britannia game, a narrow time period and geography.   But it looks like they thought bringing in the leader elements from three kingdoms would work well with the bronze age hero concept.  As Raz says, it also looks like they missed the mark by making a game that was true to neither myth nor history. 

[Razgovory]

I haven't watched much of it, but the little I did see looked like the movie Troy which wasn't very good when it was released.  In other words the game looks bland and generic.
