Total War Saga: Troy - Prince Hector guide
Hector specializes in building defensive and military alliances in preparation for the coming conflict. This makes him a viable candidate for defensively oriented players or those looking to play high in Total War Saga: Troy . Indeed, you can choose to have your armies cover the known world, but you can also just relax and let your allies do the work for you.
While this is happening, you are also competing with your brother Legolas - well, Paris, sorry - to become Priam's Heir. There are many goals you can complete to gain favor by becoming the rightful ruler of Troy in Priam's eyes. Similarly, don't forget to fight the Greek threat. Eventually, you will end the war across the sea, and you may even find an antagonist waiting for you as you progress further in your campaign.
Here are the conditions for Hector to win the game Total War Saga: Troy :
- ➤ Complete all 12 epic missions.
- ➤ Make sure the following factions no longer exist: Mycenae, Phthia, Sparta and Ithaca.
Either way, read on below for a specific mechanic or feature you need help with:
Hector's unique campaign mechanic
Assuwan League
The Assuwan League mechanic has six levels, and the ranking is based on the number of settlements controlled by defensive and military allies. You will receive campaign/faction-wide effects as you rank up in the Assuwan league, and subsequent levels will retain (and enhance) the effects of the previous one.

Much later in your campaign Total War Saga: Troy you will get Assuwa level effects if you have played the diplomacy game effectively:
Don't forget that suppressing enemy factions that you and your defensive/military allies are at war with will cause them to show "thank you" and give you "gifts of bounty". What's this? Well, these are usually the agents that spawn in your capital.
You can also use this union with advice on Deities и mythological creatures / epic agents . For example, upgrading the Temple of Apollo in your capital plus leveling up the deity's cult gives you higher level agents when you recruit them.
Due to the agent gratitude/gifts mechanic, you can get high-level spies, messengers, or priestesses provided for free by your allies. Yes, and you can even go beyond "maximum of three agents per type".
Priam's heir
В Total War Saga: Troy Hector can make friends, but he also needs to be wary of his own brother, Paris. The arrogant and snobbish prince who kidnapped Helen and started this accursed war is vying with him to become Priam's Heir in the first place.
The Heir of Priam mechanic is one of the coolest features not only in Total War Saga Troy, but throughout the Creative Assembly portfolio Total War . You can complete certain tasks or calculations to increase your "goodwill" in Priam's eyes - let's just call these "Priam points". You compete against Orlando Bloom, who also completes some requirements and earns Priam points.
You cannot declare war on Troy (Priam's faction), but instead you can ADD your brother's faction. However, this will significantly reduce your Priam points.
Alternatively, you can try to undermine your brother by subtracting 10 points from his progress. This can be done if:
- Your brother has 300 more gold than you.
- Your brother is hurt, but you are not.
- ➤ Both you and your brother are in the same region and you are at a higher level.
When you reach the threshold of 100, 200 and 300 points, Priam will reward you with a free higher level general. The first brother to reach these thresholds will receive the reward, preventing the other brother from receiving them.
Note. For each threshold you reach, two groups of tasks will also be blocked. These are the two with the most points. For example, if you score high on "Support Your Brother" and "Prove Your Generosity" to reach the 100 point threshold, those options will no longer award points when trying to move up to the 200 point threshold. You must focus on other means.
In any case, after gaining 400 points, Priam will finally consider you his true heir. You will automatically confederate with the Troy/Priam faction and the Paris faction, capturing the entire territory in the process. Get ready for a confederation because many units of Troy very roads. Your income will suffer greatly due to food and bronze content.
But we're getting ahead of ourselves, right? Let's go ahead and first see how Hectra's campaign is going Total War Saga: Troy и how are the epic missions.
Total War Saga: Troy - Campaign Development
Tips for playing as Hector
Once you start your campaign Total War Saga: Troy's roles of Hector, offer defensive alliances with Paris, Aeneas and Sarpedon. You will have a positive diplomatic rating, so you can milk them to the fullest with barter deals. You can also trade (or gift) Ilion Imbrasos and Ilion Girtacid to push them into a defensive alliance.
Heck, you can even offer non-aggression pacts (NAPs) with Greek lords to get resources from them.
After you defeat Macarius' army and capture the nearby settlement, sacrifice Athena with a hecatomb to level up her cult. Then pray to her for a promotion and an extra recruitment slot next turn.
Go ahead, get a full stack and take over Macaria's territory in the province of Lesbos. Keep in mind that Priam will give you missions for several turns from time to time. They will also earn you Goodwill or Priam Points upon completion.
The problem is that these missions may not match your expansion or the current state of the game. For example, I had to reload my save multiple times because Priam kept telling me to defeat Methymna (a minor faction) that Hector already has NAP with at the beginning of the campaign Total War Saga: Troy .
Note: on the island of Lesvos has harpies (ranged units) that can be hired through a special building.
Now, since the Heir of Priam variant of the mechanic is popular with Apollo, you can actually build a god temple in your capital. Use the bonuses to produce a few priestesses and have them farm the favor of Apollo (or other deities you have dedicated a temple to in other settlements).
Combining this with the aforementioned Assuwan League mechanic (and the bounty of rewards from your allies), you can get a lot of high-level agents as you progress through the Total War Saga: Troy campaign.
Epic missions of Hector
These epic missions will not only push Hector towards Homer's victory in Total War Saga: Troy , but will also earn you more Heir of Priam points. As mentioned in our beginner's guide , I'm still not sure how and when these epic missions work.
Remember that some epic missions have requirements that must be completed. Others, meanwhile, are automatic and offer you a dilemma/choice to get certain buffs.
