Second time i see someone recommend it(maybe the other are you too lol) let's give a look

Give us a link of those videos, webs,.... I try to find them and I can't find anything about that kind of videos

I found the site. Very interesting! Has 11,000 subs. Put out stuff every day. I have a I-pad and typed in the question box. I joined as soon as I look around!

I Also recommend a book called 1177 bc

​@@skylerslack12I need to reread it.

The Battle of the Delta?

Bro was there

They should make it a historical battle lol

I highly doubt it, considering there is very little evidence of famous battles that would warrant a famous battle mode. Because the collapse of the Bronze Age was in 1200 BCE. You have the archaeological records of a major battle taking place in North German around 1200 though, but obviously the game is focused on Egypt. I hope they add the likes of Mycenae, Phoenicia, Assyria, Babylon, Troy et cetera in a future DLC.

Battle of Megiddo is the only one I can think of from back then.

A true hero of Egypt!

Or maybe Iberian/Phoenician

Phoenicians already are in the game as the Canaanite factions (proto-Phoenician, Phoenicians as we later know them weren't rly a thing yet) Iberian tribes, who knows, who knows......

three of the "sea people" were italian, namely the sherdan(nuragic sardinia),the seklesh(sicanian from sicily) and theresh(tyrrenians aka proto etruscans and maybe latins) the other sea people did come from the eastern mediterannean sea

This isn't the same sadly. The way it works is there is a wave of invaders every 5-10 turns. These include the sea people, but also include tribes in each region. These happen from the very start after turn 5/10. So for example, you can own all of Egypt, and have 15-20 armies randomly spawn there every 5 turns for the whole campaign.

Although I am looking forward to playing the game, I am a bit sceptical about this invasion mechanic being too much of a slog to deal with, with constant sameish 20 stack land battles...

@@nitomurray6137 not whole campaign, until turn 140, which sounds like a lot but turn timers are really fast, and they start by turn 35 and really in my ramasses campaign I didn't see many of them until 50. So it could be that tuens 90-140 are the survival moment, then rebuilding, since you don't actually just win by survivng them either.

@@cathulionetharn5139 They don't start in turn 35. I literally played it. They start at around turn 10. The sea people's don't start at turn 35. But there is multiple over tribal spawns before they arrive, that's why. By turn 65 I was most of egypt and was unable to progress any further due to them.

@@firilockz I see some people saying "its only until turn 140". By turn 50-60ish you've taken most of your own cultural zone. So you want people to then spend 80 turns playing whack-a-mole until they can get back to playing the game. That's terrible?

Yea that would be awesome but from the historical perspective I can see why they aren’t in right now. The Greeks appear to have been among the Sea Peoples so any inclusion of them would probably come with an expansion that allows us to play as the Sea Peoples.

I would also love to see Greece, western Anatolia, and Mesopotamia, but, honestly, that would probably mess up the way the game works at the moment. Where would the Sea Peoples spawn? Wouldn’t the Lukka already have territory in Lycia? Would there be new, foreign titles to try and usurp (Wanax of Greece, etc.)? And would these expansions take Egypt out of focus? If this was truly the “definitive Bronze Age game”, maybe, but it seems like it’s supposed to be an Egyptian “Saga” title.

Only mesopotamia should be added the Greeks just don't fit in this game

​@@servantofsusathey could fit but given Babylon was destroyed by the Elamites adding Mesopotamia would require adding in a system for Elam attacking, and that would be a big addition.

@@kurtsell8376 shutruk nahunte destroyed kassite Babylon in 1155bce this game sets in 1200bce

Then shop for an egypt movie, youll save 60€

@@ivanballester1526Haha, that's a good one.

Well as the video describes, the collapse is not *just* the Sea Peoples, but a system encompassing a large number of cities called 'pillars of civilization', which as they are destroyed over the campaign, make the campaign world grow increasingly dangerous and isolated. The Sea Peoples become more powerful and more aggressive as the world descends into a state of civilization collapse.

Achaemenid empire is probably a bit unlikely in a game about the Bronze Age, although I too would love to see that as some form of DLC campaign. We also had Charlemagne in Attila, so who knows. But I think it would work best as part of a Alexander the Great DLC campaign/expansion and that's probably more fitting to a potential Rome 3 than a Late Bronze Age TW. What I'm also interested in, even if it probably wouldn't be that interesting for most people in terms of battles is to go back in time to Sumerians and Akkadians. But either way they definitely have to add Mesopotamia with Babylon, Assyria and Elam to the game to make it a true Bronze Age game.

Lmao

Persia your kidding right 😂 at the time Elam rulled Iran shutruk nahunte conquered babylon

There is no Persian empire at that time, except you want to play as one minor town and as vassal of other faction

@@Cleeon there were no Persians either they migrated around 800bce and became a vassal of Elam in khuzestan and Anshan

doesn't it usually come about a month or two after the base game's release?

@@GodofToast Probably. But it will be out definitely.

Well it needs it

@@budoshi1981 i agree. Battle wont feel perfect without blood spilled.

It's an option you have to activated in the menu. Otherwise the units card will be like the troy ones.

​@@dermenore7162Honestly, that's a good thing. Rome 2's unit cards could be tricky to figure out at a glance, so having both options available is a smart move.

Yes. Can't believe a total war game has dissapointing battles lol. Battles is what made total war. Make it epic or get out of the bussiness

not this time period, no rams, no cannons, only archers and boarding then melee.

Sadly I agree with everything you've just said.

1/6 of a year.

@@SenpaiTorpidDOW ok, per 2 month then

The timeline follows the three seasons of the Nile rather than the four seasons we follow ourselves, so two turns per season and six turns per year.

No Total War has ever had blood in the base game, so no reason to be surprised either.

It's customizable, so you can give it the difficulty you like best.

There’s also the economic aspect because as the collapse progresses and your military has to do more your resource income decreases (at least with food). So not only will you have a massive battle but also an economic tightrope to deal with.

I'm happy that they're making troy 2.0

@blastoice Troy was a good total war not to mention I'm not sure if you played the EA but after playing it some 15 hours I can totally say this is absolutely other thing it has a few similarities with Troy specially in the battles but the differences there make it better than Troy, and when it comes to the campaign than it is infinitely better I haven't had this much fun with a Total war since Shogun 2

@@communistcuphead2901 it was cartooney and definitely didn't feel like a historical title! It was so bad!

@blastoice are you talking about Troy or Pharaoh? Because well yeah Troy suffered of the devs not being focused in one thing but rather trying to appease both fantasy and historical players

@@communistcuphead2901 People calling Troy 'cartoony' as if TW wasn't always like that don't truly understand these games. Rome 1's Arcani and Flaming Pigs say hello!

no

To be fair, Warhammer has like 8 years of development over Pharaoh.

I don’t think it’s a bad thing not to be Warhammer lol

I wanted to add I am super eager to learn more about this historical period because The Sea People are a mysterious invading force that sowed chaos and brought down entire empires in Ancient times which effects are still felt even today in Palestine. The Sea People were like an apocalyptic invading force for their time, like Vikings to England and the world. This should be good, I like also how the Egyptians do not use heavy armor and its true to their time, its just going to be a slaughter of tactics and terrain. Pure..Total War : )

Warhammer ruined total war almost as much as Rome 2 did Pharaoh is possibly the best game post shogun 2 which isn’t saying much but eh

A bit stutter on my 4070ti as well. Hoping fresh drivers sort that out.

That's horrible! How is anyone suppoused to play the game if the highest end machines can't run it without issues?

I was hoping it;s more optimized than Warhammer III...would you say it looks and runs similar?

No it runs better but some battles has big stuttering@@TheBradley

@@TheBradley it runs a lot better. 100+ fps with ultra preset. But there are micro freezes there under certain conditions. I've seen people mention a potential memory leak. I'm not sure.

yes, Ramses ages up. Hopefully, this can be implemented for other characters too :°

@@pascalbourelier3463 i hppe to now they need to at family trees

I feel the same! At first, I was a bit skeptical about its cartoony, "Troy"-style graphics, its shortage of unique skins for soldiers and generals/faction leaders, and most of the other factors that robbed "Troy" of much of its potential. That being said, my 60-turn playthrough of Irsu really did change my mind, especially whenever I battled the Sea Peoples or had to engage in diplomacy with my neighbors, who were able to band against me at times. I'm saving Ramesses' campaign for the full playthrough, as I can't wait to unify all of Egypt by the 1180s BC and re-enact his desperate battles with the Sea Peoples and Libu tribes. I will admit that I did bite the bullet and spend the $90, just because I figured I'd take the risk with the hope that future faction packs will expand the map (apart from Alashiya, who else would we want to play as in the game as it stands?), and because I'm hoping that the campaign DLC will either be a Ramesses II, Hyksos, Exodus, or Greece-Mesopotamia expansion. That being said, I'm with you on hoping for the best now that I've seen more of it!

Don't forget 10 euro extra charge for the blood pack

@@dutchjoran Absolutely a good point. I think the pricing and the DLC are two of the biggest factors in turning even eager gamers away from Pharaoh.

Have you ever actually seen a game from 2005.

Considering some of the comments are abusive and even bigoted, is that a bad thing? 😉

almost every comment under yours is shittalking the game for me lol

ME

We still have promised Expansion Pack - I would like to see it Mesopotamia centred - with Assyrians, Kassite Babylonians and Elamites. I guess Chaldeans and Arameans will work in a same way as Libians & Phrygians now - as barbarian invaders.

"How obvious do you want your positive comment bots to be ?" CA: "YES"

@@Toyodas I'm no bot; I'm just an avid historical gamer who sees the potential in a game exploring an under-utilized period of history. Believe me; I'd also love to see an Empire 2: Total War with better character models, a functioning AI, and greater scope than the first. I'd love to see a Victorian/American Civil War and World War I "Total War" games, or a Mughal: Total War. Yet I am also super excited to play this game, as a lover of Ancient Egyptian history, and as someone who has played all 60 turns of my Irsu campaign in early access. I understand other players' disappointment that we may have to wait years to see the games we've been vocal about, yet I don't think that bitterness towards your fellow players is going to do any good for CA's plans or your mental health.

@@jadelhochdon’t mind him let them haters cope

I’m too, I want to save Hittite empire.

@@Carnakrox Heck yea! I'm already psyched to reconquer the disloyal nobles of Hatti, deal with Kurunta, and do so while fighting off Kaskians, Phrygians, and Sea Peoples on all sides! It's gotta be back-to-back battles and civil wars, all while I'm hemorrhaging resources and racing armies around to plug the gaps in my empire, and I'm super excited to see if we're up to the challenge!

problem is all we know about them is they randomly show up, burn and sack cities then disappear, we don't know where to place them, what they did outside raiding, who they worshipped, nothing. Unless they are assigned a home region they would have to play similar to TWW2 vampire pirates. And if they are given a region the closest is greece, with with current map sizes means about 4-5 turns of sailing one way.

​@@cathulionetharn5139 It's not as bad as you may think. There are evidences that Sherden are related with Nuragic civilization of Sardinia. Lukka are Lycians - that's scientific consensus. Peleset are Philistines who - according to Bible - came from Crete. Denyen are considered Mycenaean Greeks. Teresh and Shekelesh may be ancestors of Etruscans and native Sicilians. Probably they will start as a horde factions with possibility to burn world or find new home on it's ruins.
