Total War: Thrones of Britannia - Norman Knights are in, agents and razing settlements are out

What does it mean to be a Total War Saga? Developers Creative Assembly have been putting out focused, standalone spin-offs from their era-spanning games since Napoleon, but come April, Thrones of Britannia will launch them as an official series. 

We’ve had a chance to play with it twice now, and it makes a number of bold changes - there are no more agents, and there is a Warhammer-inspired focus on telling stories from the period, to name but two. We spoke with game director Jack Lusted and community manager James Givens about what else is new in Thrones.

Learn how Thrones of Britannia revamps the Total War template.

PCGamesN: How will the tactics of the time period, such as the shieldwall, affect battles in Thrones of Britannia?

Jack Lusted: Rather than it being a specific ability, we’ve changed how the units that can use it behave, so they feel like they’ve got a shieldwall at all times. They’ve got much denser spacing, the charge distances are a lot shorter, so you get that feeling of a sudden rush of shields against each other.
