12:00 This might be much more significant than anyone has yet realised because one of the main features of the city's historical defences was a massive wall wide enough for 2-3 chariots to run abreast. If the historical walls of Babylon are actually in the game, and they are actually working with no LOS or pathing issues, then this isn't just going to be a cool siege map for Pharaoh, it's potentially going to have flow-on effects for WH3 sieges.

Management thought they could drip feed DLC in a historical game like they do with Warhammer, but that didn’t work out for them as they’ve had to release all the updates for free. Glad we’re getting a legit Bronze Age game now, and I was sold on the Dynasties post about the family trees. Looking forward to checking it out!
@VonstabАй бұрын
Not all the updates, 40% of the planned content will be lost but in the circumstances it is amazing that we are getting anything at all considering that CA management cancelled a game that performed much better than Pharaoh.

@@Vonstab yeah it's pretty obvious they had plans for a 'myth' dlc at one point which is why the amazons were there but tbh I feel like this greater focus is better for the game, amusing as the myth dlc in Troy was. CA needs to stop trying to have it both ways.

In retrospect it does look like they were racing against time, likely needing the release cadence to justify the continued money sink into Hyenas. You can say, 'Oh Hyena's didn't take money from Warhammer/Pharoah' and yeah that's true, but it placed pressures on both games that would not have existed. Just this amorphous thing, whose sheer physical presence distorts the body of the company around it. You know. Like a tumor.

Super stoked for this update! Still pissed at whichever decision-maker forced TWP out before it was ready. This update is what vanilla should have always been. I’m excited, but it’s bittersweet. If this had been released in full from the start, we might have been able to have even more DLC/Campaign expansions down the line.

I totally agree that Pharaoh should've been more than it was at launch, but, to be completely honest, this update is way more than I could've ever expected this game to be on launch. I thought I'd never say this but I'm genuinely excited for Pharaoh now.

At 2:20 - To clarify: Western Anatolia and Greece were already represented in the campaign map, just hidden in the fog. With the "Toggle Fog of War" mod, you could clearly see Greece, the Aegean Islands and the west coast of Asia Minor. The east, on the other hand, was actually not much further developed.

As a modder myself. The problem of campaign map (modding) isn't how big it is. You can make it pretty big. It's the amount of time. I can make a pretty huge map with Shogun 2 and it uses a similar system as all the Warscape engine related games (with here and there some additions). But the core is the same. The issue we have with Shogun 2 is that it's based on a 32bit engine. So it has it's limitations. But all the games beyond 3K and WH series, those are 64bit ones. So they got more VRAM and memory to use to render. Only your imagination limits you in the end. But i guess CA doesn't want to make to much effort in it for their profits. Lesser time = More profits = Lower Quality.

It’s difficult talking about what is mentioned historically or not considering we do know for a fact that there are other pre greek scripts that we can’t decipher. Using something like a group of armed women to embody the ideal of the goddess of the hunt isn’t crazy. The timeframe for these games allows for a bit of creative input while managing to mostly stay on historical track. As a student of early Indo European anthropology, there is an entire history of war, gods, culture, and language buried under what he understand today. That grey area between the receding ice and our language families are still being uncovered
