I felt like I wasted many turns while trying to find his last settlement which was on the lonely island of Trinacria. I couldn’t complete the victory conditions until I eliminated Ithaca - conquering the faction was one of the requirements for the Homeric Victory and defeating my antagonist was a requirement for the Total War Victory.

By then, he had managed to confederate with the other playable Greek lords. Regrettably, it can prolong your playthrough if your antagonist happens to be a main/playable faction from the other side.įor instance, Odysseus of Ithaca became my antagonist during my Hector campaign. On paper, that sounds like a decent feature similar to Shogun 2‘s Realm Divide, Rome 2‘s Civil War, or Three Kingdoms‘, uh, Three Kingdoms formation. First, there’s the “Antagonist” mechanic, a challenge where a faction you’ve fought against becomes an “endgame” rival (going so far as to initiate a “scorched earth” policy whenever you capture its settlements). Still, I do have other misgivings while completing A Total War Saga: Troy‘s campaigns.
