A Total War Saga: Troy is getting a new expansion pack at the end of the month which will feature new factions, mechanics, and units. The ‘Ajax & Diomedes Faction Pack’ will introduce, well, Ajax and Diomedes as new playable factions in the war for Trojan antiquity. This follows on from the Amazons expansion released last September, as well as the obligatory Blood Pack in October.

Ajax controls the city of Salamis, while Diomedes is the newly crowned King of Argos. They will each have their own unique faction mechanics (two each) and unit rosters. The expansion also adds a new Troy event called ‘Stealing the Palladium’, and the city of Thebes is getting a new campaign map model and new battle map that will include the legendary ‘seven gates’ layout.

The final major addition coming with this expansion is the inclusion of new ‘Paragon’ units. As per the official FAQ, these are “extra-special units with strong stats, attributes, and aura abilities who are led by a seasoned veteran.” These sound suspiciously like Total War: Warhammer 2’s Regiments of Renown to me.
