War Field is an amazon military building chain, in a Total War Saga: Troy, which can be built in capitals and resource settlements. These buildings enable initiation rites for melee units.
Description[]
While the majority of Bronze Age religious rituals were practiced openly, a number of ancillary cults, called ‘Mysteries,’ were conducted in secret among chosen initiates. These arcane practices, most likely evolved from much older agrarian faiths, grew in parallel with public religion and were widespread around the Aegean Sea and beyond. One such group, known today as the Eleusinian Mysteries, was already ancient in the days of Mycenaean Greece and lasted until the 4th century AD, while another sect from central Anatolia worshipped enigmatic chthonic deities named the Cabiri, whose origins precede the Greek gods themselves.
