War Games is a horde military building chain in a Total War Saga: Troy, exclusive to Penthesilea's faction.
Description[]
Forested areas have always deeply fascinated humans, and the peoples of the Late Bronze Age were no exception. They imagined the woods teeming with supernatural beings and hidden dangers. To them, the trees were inhabited by beautiful but deadly creatures called nymphs, with whom the beastly god Pan cavorted freely, while Artemis, goddess of the hunt, watched over wild animals and killed any who dared harm one of her sacred beasts. Amazingly, belief in sylvan beings survived in rural Greece until the early 20th century, with folk tales recounting travellers' encounters with nature spirits called 'nereids'.
