Scotland and Ireland are in turmoil, with rival tribes duking it out. Alfred the Great has put a stop to the Viking conquest of England and is on a mission of unification.
Its subject is the British Isles near the turn of 10th-century AD. Sure, this means it works on a smaller scale, but here’s the thing: when you focus in so sharply, you get to see a lot more detail.Īnd detail is very much what Thrones of Britannia is all about. Instead, Thrones of Britannia feels very much like a ‘proper’ Total War, only focused on a very specific area at a very specific time – a little like the campaigns in the Kingdoms expansion for Medieval II. The title and the spin-off status had me expecting something similar in feel to a stand-alone expansion pack, perhaps something episodic like the old Napoleon pack for Empire: Total War.
So, why is this a Total War Saga and not Total War: Britannia? Having played it, I’m still not really sure.
