2. My Proposal
AfterresearchingTotal War:Troy in depth,Ihave come to the conclusionthatI wouldlike tocreate
an assetfor a possible ‘Godsand Goddesses’ DLC;namely aweapon tobe usedby the Goddess
Athena.
Athenawasthe GreekGoddessof war and Wisdom, andas such I feel she wouldbe anatural
additiontothe game if the aforementionedDLCwere tobecome a reality.Ialsofeel thatthe game is
particularlylackinginfemalerepresentation,withonlytwoof the current charactersavailable being
women(alsowiththemonlyrecentlybeingaddedaspart of The AmazonsDLC).
My ideaisto create Athena’sSpear orXiphos,incorporatingelementsof the mythologysurrounding
the Trojan War withthe inclusionof the Apple thattriggeredthe startof the war, alongwitholive
leavesasbothare synonymoustoher.To dothis,I will researchindepthancientGreekweaponry
(spearsandShort Swords inparticular), the metalsavailable atthe time of the war,whichwas c.
1260–1180 BC, and the methodstheyusedatthe time to Smithsaidweaponry.
Please findbelowjustsome of the reference imageryIhave compiledthusfaraspart of my
weaponryresearch.
My weaponwill be createdinMaya,usinga Highto Low Polybake,before beingpresentedin-
engine (Unreal orSketchfab).
