For instance, in addition to needing money to raise and keep armies, food and supplies are added to the list of things you need to keep track of. Split between smaller towns and larger capitals, city and structure buildings now has more to do with individual specific functions. Little differences like these provide context to certain actions, something that is desperately needed when everything else winds up being so very similar.Īnother large change is seen in the provinces/cities you hold or capture. The Welsh, on the other hand, have a system called heroism, which heaps on the positives as you win battles and conquer lands. The Gaelic, for instance, gain bonuses from being extremely religious, with buildings like churches serving as sources of income as well as offering boons to the public order.
The faction goals do add a little bit of flavor to the proceedings, with each faction earning bonuses or penalties depending on how well you perform.
The factions have little differences that set them apart, like the Vikings overabundance of ax melee units, or the Gaelic archers being more than an arrow shaft better than any other ranged units. The lack of real variety didn't lead me to experiment with playstyles that varied wildly. Each is a variation on human, whether they are English, Gaelic or Viking, as opposed to both race and tonal differences with the factions in a larger release like Warhammer. One of the overall downsides to Thrones is the sameness of the factions. Split between about ten factions, you deal with the aftermath and your own faction’s designs on the Isles itself, as obviously, only your faction is capable of uniting the people and ruling the land. Picking up after Alfred the Great’s defeat of the Vikings in the year 878, Thrones deals specifically with the British Isles, the island of Great Britain and Ireland. One of the largest and most easily recognizable changes in Thrones is the scope of the game.
