Captured Slaves are a horde administration building chain in a Total War Saga: Troy, exclusive to Penthesilea's faction.

Description[]

While Homer's account of the Trojan War speaks only of female prisoners captured in raids by the likes of Achilles and Agamemnon, historical records suggest that slavery was prevalent in Mycenaean Greece, to the degree that only the poorest didn't own their own slave. War was a major source of captives, as tradition at the time stated that the victor had absolute rights over a defeated enemy. The primary employment of slaves was in agriculture, although they were not barred from any profession except politics; many were even allowed to own land or march into war.
