Your target comes in form that you HAVE to go to war with the greeks, namely Athena, Mykene and Sparta.īut to her other Faction mechanic, that I allrdy mentioned: War Favor. Even the Archer unit can (in a army lead by an archer hero) have insanly high impact, by a insane range of over 230 (170 is considered long range in Troy, just as comparision)īut to get these units, you have to get them trained in real combat, so yes, you will unleash your army on everyone who stands against you and your target. There are also good javelin units in her roster AND awesome skirmish javelin cavalry, that rly can tear apart enemy units and even heroes without a sweat. Daughters of Ares are one of the strongest Axe-Infantry and Shock-Infantry units in the game by far Furies are a even faster, hard hitting, light shock-cavalry Hippomachoi are a fast and good armored melee cavalry But I gonna tell you, Penthesilea has some of the best Elite Units in the game and fairly unique ones too. You have to build military buildings in your hord to train these elite units though, so keep that in mind.

With Amazons, you also have to keep in mind: You ONLY can recruit basic units, and these units need some level of experience to get upgraded into more elite units. its easy to trade, after turn 30 I had almost 50k bronze in my bank, so yeah, no nead to hord bronze. And when you get an insane number of bronze.

What comes with that, is that you can actually plan on various factors in your campaign, like when you get 600 favor of a god, it is a good idea to perform their prayer right away and even get access to their special rewards in form of mythical units (like the Minotaur for Zeus) or Legendary Agents (like the Smith from Hephaistos) right away, to buff your faction by a lot. You want to be aggresive with Penthesilea honestly. But CA actually thought about this and gave you not only a "scouting mechanic" for specific ressources etc via a tab to look where the next settlement is that offers the seeked ressource (etc.) but also you can't rly abuse this, because after razing a settlement, their is a timer on re-establish this razing boni, like you can't just let it re-occupied by an AI and attack it straight away again to gain another huge bounty, so it's no reason for you to stick around in one place for a long time. Either way you will allways get a bonus depanding on the settlement, this can either be a HUGE LOAD of a single ressource, 600 favor of a specific god, huge amount of war favor, access to a good bunch of mythical units (also depanding on your hord buildings) OR sightline over an area. Her whole thing is going around and razing settlements (their is no way for sacking settlements for her), than you can either chose: Some ressources, lot's of War Favor points OR more ressources, bonus to hord growth and some points for battle glory. Penthesileas Amazons are a Hord faction, but honestly a good one, is not like a struggle ppl normally have with hords (at least not to such an amount).

Her Hord faction is a lot of fun imo, since you don't have to defend any settlements, you rly don't care if you go around while some douches think they have to declare war on you. That is the second campaign I recently finished (and currently playing Odysseus) and I have to say: If you seek a aggressive, but also movement depanding playstyle for a relativley shorter campaign, Penthesilea is deffinatly YOUR way to go. Sure, with adding the Mythos and Historical Mode into the game, some stuff will deffinatly change, but a basic Starting Guide will deffinatly help, right? Troy is going to get his big release on Steam and deffinatly will catch some more attention and to be fair, this is the perfect time that someone who has allready a few hours into this game (okay, more a lot of hours) to give some advice (atleast I think I could do that).
