Sure, there’s your advisor and an in-game encyclopedia to trawl through to get a better understanding of mechanics, but there’s a sense that what you’re getting is something for fans first and foremost. The sheer complexity and nuance poured into the campaign side of Thrones of Britannia, with little in terms of tutorial, make this quite possibly the least accessible Total War to date. Which can be an issue when you find your armies on the southern shores of Britannia trying to fend off a group of Vikings that have decided to raid your coastal towns. Whilst shoring up enough food stocks to ensure that a someone with dreams of grandeur doesn’t declare himself king thanks to the backing of a starving group of villagers.
Where a king needs to manage competing houses, lords, and noblemen as they squabble over land, fight for dominance, and declare war. Of course, that’s a lie as this is the period where Game of Thrones draws a lot of its inspiration. As per the title Thrones of Britannia is set during the time when Anglo-Saxons, Gaelic clans, Welsh tribes and Viking settlers all lived in peace.
