Aeneas' Chosen is a faction unique building belonging to Dardania, in a Total War Saga: Troy, which can be built exclusively in province capitals.

Description[]

The mighty warrior Aeneas was the son of the love-goddess Aphrodite, the first cousin of Priam, and second only to Hector in military prowess among the allies of Troy. According to the Iliad, when Aeneas faced certain death in battle, the gods themselves interceded to spare his life. As lord of fertile and prosperous Dardania, he fought with honour and dignity, commanding the vast numbers of conscripts at his disposal to overwhelm his enemies on the battlefield. The gods of Olympus may have had a greater destiny in mind when they decided to favour the Dardanian ruler: in the Aeneid, Virgil claims that the king and his men fled west after the Trojan War, settling in Italy where they became the progenitors of the Roman people. Aeneas himself was believed to be the ancestor of Romulus and Remus, the legendary founders of Rome.
