Pylos' Baths are a special building chain in a Total War Saga: Troy. These can be built only in Pylos.

Description[]

The city of Pylos was not as heavily fortified as other Achaean sites because of its strategic position overlooking the Bay of Navarino and the reputation of its wise king, Nestor, as a man of peace. The royal palace featured ornate baths made of terracotta, called ‘asaminthos,’ where servants poured warm water over the lounging elite before anointing them in perfumed oils. It is here that, according to Homer's Odyssey, Nestor's youngest daughter Polykaste bathed Odysseus' son Telemachus. The metropolis would eventually fall following a series of devastating fires at the end of the Bronze Age.
