Battle Mentors (Troy)

Battle Mentors is a horde military building chain in a Total War Saga: Troy, exclusive to Penthesilea's faction.

Description[]

Given the momentous yet unpredictable nature of war, it comes as no surprise that the ancient Greeks, including Homer himself, attributed its many twists and turns to the whims of Zeus and his court. The peoples of the Late Bronze Age Aegean considered warfare the province of not one, but two Olympians: Athena represented the more honourable aspects of battle, while dark Ares embodied its grimmer, bloodier side. Athena was worshipped far and wide, but Ares was rarely celebrated in either Achaea or Anatolia, though no sane warrior would fail to honour him before joining the fray.
