Total War's first Saga outing, Thrones of Britannia, makes significant changes to the Total War formula. That's according to strategy expert Tom, whose in-depth preview prepares us for some distinct design experimentation in the offshoot series' debut venture.
From a technical standpoint, we already know Thrones' historical map stretches 23-times further than that of main series forerunner Attila. But the question is: how will your system cope in the face of all of this game's new gubbins?
