This is what the dreaded cyclops will look like Thanks to his size and martial skill, the Minotaur is a daunting opponent to face on the battlefields of the ancient Mediterranean." "In the game, the Minotaur can be found and recruited in specific locations – including, of course, Crete.
"We think of our Minotaur as a rebel or bandit king who invokes the symbols of the past to make his claim for power – he uses the bull mask and the double axe as means to connect to the Minoan heritage and incite followers." "In Troy we’ve created a backstory for our Minotaur that reconciles the timelines and the fact that Homeric Crete was dominated by the Mycenaeans and not the Minoans for at least two centuries after the fall of the latter," reads the dev blog. Instead of simply ignoring the myths and legends behind Troy, they have embraced them and created a variety of units and characters that they feel represent "the truth behind the myth." The answer might surprise you as they chose to go for a little bit of both. So the big question Creative Assembly had to answer is: do you stick to Troy's historical roots, or do you go the way of Warhammer and just portray characters like Achilles as super-human?
There are very few historical records about Troy, and the ones we do have frequently delve into the fantastical themselves. However, when it comes to the upcoming Total War Saga: Troy, things start to get a little bit muddled. The first is almost entirely focused around portraying historical events with appropriate units and technology, while the second is a completely crazy fantasy world where half-naked barbarians go toe to toe with rats manning machine guns. The divide between Total War: Three Kingdoms and Total War: Warhammer 2 is fairly self-evident.
