Total War Saga: Troy King Agamemnon Factions, Unique Units, Victory Conditions

Playing as Agamemnon requires a great understanding of his faction and faction abilities. Agamemnon is an aggressive character who simply wants to expand his territory and go to war. Make sure to choose allies in stronger regions first, and get territories that lead to the Aegean Sea.

Faction and Faction Abilities – The Lion’s Share and King of Men

There are two main elements to Agamemnon’s playstyle, The Lion’s Share, and King of Men.

The Lion’s Share

Using The Lion’s Share you can entice or force other factions to join your vessels. This is important because vessels obey you and give you resources at every turn. Since they are under your control you can use Agamemnon to extort your vessels for more resources. Use The Lion’s Share screen to receive a lump sum of resources from your vessels. It is a great way to get more bronze or food. However, keep in mind that if you use the export option too many times and too often, your vessels might turn on you. Once they turn on you it’ll become harder to make them obey and get resources from them. Moreover, you’ll need plenty of influence to get them in line.

King of Men

Using the King of Men ability you can appoint heroes to court positions. Your appointed heroes will get bonuses and provide factionwide effects. Being in court will increase a hero’s motivation. This is a great unique mechanic, occupying political positions gives Agamemnon bonuses for how many he can fill. If you want to bring down the recruitment cost you can fill the Heqetai positions. Meanwhile, the Telestas brings down the cost of the action of priestesses.

Homeric Victory Conditions

Homeric Victory is the special victory path you can take with Agamemnon’s faction. You don’t have to take this path, you can simply complete the Total War victory and get the big W. The following are the victory conditions for Homeric Victory.
