Wine Cup Bearers (Troy)

Wine Cup Bearers are a horde administration building chain in a Total War Saga: Troy, exclusive to Penthesilea's faction. These buildings enable the recruitment of envoys.

Description[]

For all the death and tragedy that marked a soldier's life, it also offered many tantalising benefits to the youths of Mycenaean Greece and Anatolia. The military lifestyle was punctuated by rituals such as feasts and funerary rites that bolstered brotherhood, and soldiers were encouraged to forge deep-lasting bonds with their comrades. Tradition holds that Nestor, hailed in the Iliad for his experience and wisdom, was the first to organise army units along ethnic and tribal lines in an effort to foster kinship, courage, and interdependence on the field of battle, a practice that continued into the Iron Age.
