Indeed, when playing on Legendary difficulty, your scenario might make the Battle of Hastings look like a bit of a tea party. I won’t say too much more for now but be warned that you could potentially find the Normaunds (Normans), Dene (Danes) and/or Norse on your doorstep. Who arrives, and how many, will depend on various factors including the difficulty level you have chosen and where you are based on the campaign map. You may start to receive rumours from your merchants about foreign kings turning their eyes towards your wealthy lands as a good target for conquest. You may have dominated your corner of the map, perhaps more, but there are those from further afield who would take what you have worked so hard to acquire. No doubt you will have established a strong and prosperous Kingdom by that point. Plus, anchoring the trigger for the final challenge to those particular dates could involve a lot of waiting around.Īfter achieving any long victory condition, you should steel yourself and get ready for war. We wanted something more in keeping with our overall design approach which puts the player and their decisions at the centre of how narrative unfolds. It would feel too forced and out of sync with the rest of the game. Well, there are similarities but, for Thrones, we didn’t want to tie the final challenge to fixed historical events.
I’ve seen some speculation that the Ultimate Victory challenge will be tied to 1066 and the invasion of the Normans, or Cnut’s conquest of England in 1015. Thrones of Britannia has the Ultimate Victory condition. Shogun 2, for instance, had Realm Divide, ROME II aimed to provide it through civil wars, WARHAMMER II has the Vortex and the final battle.
Previous games have presented an end-game challenge in a variety of different ways. Long term Total War players will no doubt have noticed that we often include a twist to give campaigns a climactic ending, something to make the overall journey feel complete and rewarding. Here’s Game Director Jack Luisted to tell you a little more about it! (Obviously if you would prefer to discover what lies in store as it happens in the game, without any expectations, probably best to stop reading now.) Previously we’ve talked about the three different types of victory conditions in Thrones of Britannia: conquest, fame, kingdom, and hinted at another, the ultimate victory condition.
