Chariot Proving Grounds (Troy)

Chariot Proving Grounds are an amazon military building chain, in a Total War Saga: Troy, which can be built in capital settlements only. These buildings enable initiation rites for chariots.

Description[]

As with many other martial abilities, warriors of the Late Bronze Age honed and measured their chariot-riding skills through intense competition, as evidenced by depictions of sporting events on Mycenaean pottery. These races, most often held during religious festivals, were considered extremely dangerous for both riders and horses, as the wagons were prone to topple over on sharp turns or smash together in deadly collisions, inevitably adding to the spectators' excitement. Homer describes one such contest during the funeral games held for Achilles' companion Patroclus, which Diomedes won by defeating the likes of King Menelaus.
