Then I play loads of custom battles with all the factions and all the units to get a feel for the battles and just to look at the units.
The first thing I do when starting a new Total War game is to go straight to custom battles, trawl through all the factions and look their unit rosters. This feels like a polished release, with nothing broken and everything working fine. There were a couple of audio glitches which I encountered, but they were only slight. There was some stuttering during battles initially, but once I’d finally gotten around to updating my graphics drivers that disappeared. Of course, I have only reviewed this on one computer, but it worked flawlessly for me. This being a Total War game, and still living in the shadow of the Empire: Total War and Total War: Rome 2 release debacles, I should start with performance and technical issues. The time period of 878CE to around 1066CE was one of the most diverse and important in British and Irish history. Fans of The Last Kingdom and Vikings will be familiar with the setting and time period and this was a pivotal moment in the history of England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales. It is just after the kingdom of Wessex finally managed to halt the rampaging Great Heathen Army of the Vikings at the battle of Edington. Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia is set in the British Isles during the dark ages. The question is: have they pulled it off? The release of Thrones of Britannia was delayed for about a month so that CA could polish the game more. The aim of Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia was to create a game with the feel of a full-fat Total War title, but with a much narrower focus, sharper detail, and more ways to win. This flies in the face of the vast sprawl of the last few Total War games, Rome and Attila, and the upcoming Three Kingdoms.
The aim of CA’s Saga venture is to make Total War games set in compact eras, or flashpoints as they call them. Enter the Total War Saga series, Total War games which are smaller in scope than the main series but no less grand or complete. Creative Assembly have decided they want to make more focused games alongside their main Total War series.
