Big Brother Instinct: Half of his motivation for the war is due to Paris and Helen humiliating his brother, which he's determined to make them pay for.His personal Legendary Quest is designed to re-tell the story of the Trojan War as it happened in the Trojan Cycle, by first recruiting Odysseus and Achilles to his alliance, his ill-fated journey eastwards and then the attack on and conquest of Troy itself. In-game, Agamemnon begins the game as king of Mycenae in north-eastern Peloponnese.

Owner of a hundred ships, a vast army, great personal skill at arms and an unquenchable ambition and pride, Agamemnon was driven by the desire to cast down the house of Priam and end Troy's time in the sun as mightiest of the Aegean city-states. In-game, he has the best melee stats of all the legendary lords and is optimized for hunting down and dueling his foe to death.Īgamemnon, king of the city-state of Mycenae and older brother Menelaus, was the primary architect of the Trojan War on the Achaean side and leader of the alliance. World's Best Warrior: Explicitly the greatest warrior of the epic, none were Achilles' equal.Hot-Blooded: His hot blood is a faction mechanic if Achilles spends too long doing one thing (garrisoning, killing or invoking the gods by having priests in his army) his mood will change and your faction will gain both bonuses and penalties for it.Achilles was given a choice by the gods of a long, but unremarkable life or dying young in the Trojan War but immortalized by his deeds, and chose the latter. Glory Seeker: His personal motivation for joining the war.Fragile Speedster: Achilles' best possible units are notably faster and more lightly-armored than other factions.Come what may, he will not flee from battle. The Determinator: Achilles starts the game fearless.Broken Ace: The greatest warrior of the Achaean side, and also by far the least stable.He's involved solely for the glory of combat. Notably, unlike most of the Achaen lords, he isn't even part of the pact to defend Helen's marriage, as he was too young, or not even born yet, to be one of her suitors. Achilles loves fighting strong opponents, and one of his faction mechanics are built around it by granting him bonuses by building his legend as a warrior. Blood Knight: In case the quote didn't give it away.Blade on a Stick: Starts the game with his Pelian Spear, which according to the Iliad he was the only man capable of lifting.Bash Brothers: Achilles will recruit his second cousin, life companion and paramour Patroclus early on in his Legendary Quest.If either side is left alive by the end-game their factions will almost inevitably come to blows, and the two fighting each other is a part of both men's Legendary Quest.
