A Total War Saga: TROY – Ajax & Diomedes unleashed for macOS today

King Agamemnon’s call to war has been answered by two of antiquity’s most feared warriors; Ajax and Diomedes take the field in the latest DLC for A Total War Saga: TROY.

More mountain than man, Ajax is said to be descended from the giants and wields a shield that dwarfs his enemies. Alongside his brawn comes one of the finest tactical minds of the age: Diomedes of Argos, who longs to avenge his father’s death at the hands of the Thebans.

These new heroes bring 18 new units, four additional faction mechanics, unique skill trees, building chains and two new starting positions. The Ajax & Diomedes DLC also sees the arrival of new Paragon units. Led by distinguished veterans, the Paragons fight with a battle-hardened zeal that strikes fear in the hearts of their enemies.

Today we also introduce Hephaestus to the Divine Will system. The God of Blacksmiths and Volcanoes is now available, and players who appease him may call upon his Divine Craftsman epic agent to strengthen their soldiers' equipment.

The Trojans' demise is at hand. Buy the Ajax & Diomedes DLC from the Epic Games Store and show them the error of their ways.
