Foreign Encampment is a faction unique building chain belonging to Sparta, in a Total War Saga: Troy, which can be built in capitals and resource settlements.
Description[]
As long as there has been war, there have been those who waged it in the name of profit. Historical records show that this was true in the Late Bronze Age, as mercenaries from Egypt and the kingdom of Hatti often participated in conflicts between the Aegean states. This was most likely the case on both sides of the Trojan War, as both armies would have relied on foreign soldiers to bolster their forces. Likewise, Egyptian records suggest that Achaeans fought as mercenaries on the other side of the Mediterranean as well.
