These are the three styles of play within this game, so choose one that you think caters to your style. You then get to choose infantry, cavalry, or archers to command for the battlefield. These are all historically known commanders in our history. You start off with three available commanders: Cynane of Greece, Germanicus of Rome, and Arminius of the Barbarians.
Stagingīefore any combat begins, the players must choose a commander and three units to control. This is where Total War: Arena takes this model, adds the multiplayer element, and then runs off with it. Whereas the Civilization games focus on geopolitical conflict and economy, Total War games focus on massive ancient combat. A majority of their previous titles can be loosely compared to Civilization. The Total War franchise has been around for quite some time and their games have usually been incredible.
