Chariot Assembly is a military building chain, in a Total War Saga: Troy, which can be built in capitals and resource settlements. These buildings unlock the recruitment of chariot units.
Description[]
Chariots were of critical strategic importance to the Aegean states given their tremendous advantage against foot soldiers on open ground. The Mycenaean box chariot was heavier and sturdier than its Egyptian counterpart, hinting at its role in close quarter engagements. It was built from two four-spoked wheels attached to a steam-bent wooden frame, and covered in ox hide or wicker. The two horses pulling the wagon required a dedicated driver, leaving the other warriors on board free to stab at infantry with spears, or rain arrows upon them.
