Greetings Chaddingtons.
I am quite excited seeing this glorious release trailer from Total War.
And I just thought to mention this in a video as well because this is quite juicy news indeed seeing one of the most important literary works of Western civilization, of European civilization coming out as a game.
I know of course some guys always criticize gaming but to those guys I would just ask are you productive 24 7?
No I guess you are not everyone needs some downtime I think gaming is an absolutely great way to do so.
Gaming is a great way to take in some mythic inspiration as well.
So we have this game here which is being played out during the Greek Bronze Age during the Trojan War.
So it will be a historical title in the sense that there aren't any mythical elements to it, except that you have a Minotaur, for example, you have him represented as a guy wearing a bull's mask and you have the favor of the gods, which means that basically, if you dedicate yourself to a god, your troops will see that and you will get some bonuses, etc.
So it's more of a cultural impact your mythology has on the game.
So naturally, I am quite excited indeed for this release, and we can see the map here as well looks absolutely epic, if anything, and the overall aesthetics just amazing.
And, for the record, this is what Achilles, in my mind, looks like.
So if you read the Iliad, this is what he's supposed to look like, something like it, and I obviously have always strived to emulate his aesthetics.
So, if you want to know, one of the reasons behind me having my hair this way is yeah, because that has been an ideal I have always wanted to emulate.
So anyway, we can expect the game next year, and usually when Total WAR makes this sort of saga games, they are trying out new things that they will incorporate in later titles.
So we can expect to see some more different gameplay mechanics, different resources, etc.
So I am again very excited for that.
Again, I think it's absolutely brilliant that this time era gets to be played as.
So we get additional motivation and I hope it comes before summer so we can get the motivation and then commence an epic cut of the gods.
So we're all shredded for summer and we tan, get a bronze skin and we can go out in a life affirming way.
And a last note on the importance of the Iliad and Odyssey, it was a primary inspiration for Alexander The Great, so it is absolutely normal and it's absolutely right if you feel inspired by this story and the setting and the sheer epicness of it all.
