A Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia, Video explains the politics

New Feature Spotlight video shows how to master the political machinations of 9th Century Britain.

An uneasy peace lay across the British Isles following Alfred the Great’s victory over the Viking invaders. The kings of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, and the freshly settled Danes, sensed a time of opportunity. Ambition smouldered within the courts, and securing loyalty from within was paramount to both the success – and survival – of a ruler.

Assuming the role of the English, the Gaels, the Welsh, the Great Viking Army or the Viking Sea-Kings, players of Thrones of Britannia must master the dark arts of politics, employing every method from the arrangement of marriages and the gifting of estates to bribery and – in extreme cases – assassination.

The new Politics & Intrigue Feature Spotlight video, released today, delves into some of the machinations which may occur as you maintain rule in the fractured and fragile British Isles.
