A Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia details post-launch revisions
A Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia is a twist on the usual Total War formula.

When Empire Divided, Total War's latest expansion, trundled into our garage, Fraser was the mechanic on duty. He walked around the chariot, kicked the wheels, took the pencil from behind his ear and made a few notes. "It's not in bad nick," he said, after some deliberation, "but it's no Warhammer."You should read the rest of his review if you're considering buying this new expansion…
I’ve probably written more about Total War than any other series this year, but I confess that I totally forgot about its free-to-play multiplayer spin-off, Total War: Arena.
