Hot-tempered Achilles

During the Achilles campaign in Total War Saga: Troy you will witness a non-permanent, capricious and temperamental nature of Achilles. At first he will not have any advantages and minuses. Moreover, in the game it will even be indicated that it interspersed with its armies. Then, due to various events, epic tasks or campaign stages, you will see serious mood swings that positively and negatively affect the entire fraction.

Your actions or decisions taken in passing a campaign will have a permanent effect while a specific mood will reach 100%. However, epic tasks or events can lead to an instantaneous, 100% mood difference, the effect of which lasts for several moves.

Note. Sometimes you will be offered to make Achilles gifts to calm down and soften his emotions. This will return his mood to neutral status.

All mood statuses:

– proud (neutral). Default mood. Achilles can return to this status if you decide to make him a gift (spending some resources). No effects.

– indigrant. Low motivation of heroes, a loss of assistant, pastime in the garrison, a violation of diplomatic contracts, a victory in dueling with the help of mechanics “Live Legend” or Dwells. To maintain status you need to be in the garrison. Effects: + 30% to extraction of all resources throughout the fraction, +10 Fortunately (local province), -10 influence of the fraction, -50 to diplomacy for all transactions.

– Grief. Such a mood of Achilles may appear due to the loss of units of his army, the destruction of the settlement, killing prisoners, the loss of the favor of gods, injured or death of heroes and allies, victories in duels with the help of mechanics “Live Legend”. To maintain status next to the army of Achilles should be a priestess. Effects: + 20% to the favor of temples throughout the fraction, +205 to the favor of rituals from the priestess throughout the fraction, +200 points of experience for the course of all the detachments of the Achilles army and -7 happiness throughout the fraction.

– indignant. War with neighboring factions can lead to this status, raiding on regions, losing in any battle with any army or garrison, the actions of the agent against Achilles, in the ambush, victory in duels through the mechanics of “Live Legend” and the rejection of duel. To maintain status, you need every move to fight opponents. Effect: + 40% to the attack in the near battle for all units of the Achilles Army, + 25% to the damage of all units of the Achilles Army, + 100% to the extraction after the battle for the entire fraction, + 10% to the speed of replenishing the loss of the entire fraction, + 100%income from raids, looting and looting for the whole fraction, -30% of resources and -50 prosperity.Levels of the mood of Achilles.

Live legend

Achilles is trying to prove to everyone that he is the greatest warrior who ever knew the world. That is why he challenges other champions. This mechanic is similar to the function of the lui bu from A World Betrayed, but has some key differences. First, champions are often existing generals from other nearby factions. You can challenge them through the “Live Legend” panel. When the champion agrees on a duel, Achilles must go on a journey that will last 3 stroke. At this time, the army will be headed by another general.

Also, when you click on the call button on a duel, the champion can automatically lose it. This is probably due to level inconsistencies. If someone refuses Duel, Achilles will have to defeat his army in battle. In each list will always be 3 champion. As soon as you defeat them all, the costs of the maintenance of units will decrease and the influence will increase for the entire fraction on 10 moves. When the moves are completed, you will tell you that people began to doubt the courage of Achilles, and you will have to prove his strength with three other champions.

Finally, after the victory over the three champions you can get the Additional Forces of Mimmidon. You still need to pay for hiring and content, but the recruiting itself occurs instantly, without the need for the construction of any building.

Achilles Campaign Tips

The passage of the Achilles campaign is intricate and complicated, especially if you play for him “as for the usual hero”. That is, if you support his mood at the level of “proud”, which does not provide no advantages. Instead, you need to act more aggressively. To begin with, offer some unions and aubatic transactions with Greek Lordam and other neighbors (for example, Agamemnon, Odyssey, Melany, Ayjax Grand or Small, Domeda). At first, try to avoid defensive and military unions. In addition to the Ellopians during the first 15 moves on you, most likely, other Greeks will attack (Abanta, Fessoria, Magnets and Mineness). Fessals and Minenesam can offer a non-aggression agreement. The probability is that they will agree on it.

If you surround you from all sides, then go to the status of indignation. An indignant mood of Achilles will give him incredibly effective buffs that will help in the attack. You can use it at an early stage, against the Ellopians (just make sure that every move end the battle). One of the champions will even give up the call of Achilles on a duel, which will gradually lead to indignation.

Later you will come across several epic missions that will instantly lead to indignancy of Achilles. For example:

– Predefined fate.

– News of war.

If you ever be offered to dew the anger of Achilles or allow anger to absorb him, then seek the choice of “dark side”, because the bonuses are worth.

Note. While Achilles is outraged, you will receive less resources, the prosperity of the population will suffer (the increase in the number will take negative values). From time to time you can rob enemy settlements to compensate for losses. Also do not forget about the possibilities of Barter.

In the real battle of Achilles Silen, but it is not invulnerable. You can straight rush to the enemy general or other melee troops. Far battle detachments will often won’t spend their time on a lonely Achilles, which means that you can hurt the goals freely. Lacreblock of such tactics – siege cities. Achilles can destroy the gates, standing under protective towers in the blind zones. Do it he can literally alone.

Then go along the walls and kill soldiers located on them. They are knocked into a bunch, and units of long-range battles will still not pay attention to you. Later there to move the remaining troops. As soon as you reach 6 levels, take the skill “Divine Test” (a little later – “Armor” skill). He will force an enemy general to accept a challenge on a pseudo-duel, in which he has no chance to defeat Achilles. In the meantime, this is happening (duel), other AI opponents will not even try to attack you.

As for other perks, choose those that will increase damage, protection and armor in the near battle will give health regeneration. Also take the chariot for the melee and the upgrade of the reinforced chariot.
