[@helghast_7203]

Suppiluliuma and the hittites looks really fun, like the rest of the game overall. I know there will be DLCs, and like a few others, it would be nice to have the map expanded to Babylon and the sumerian lands, as well as expanding the existing factions with more hatti leaders and a few different cultures. Overall excited for this game, shame to see the other fans drown up the hype.

Holly, that gameplay was so beautiful I shed a tear for its beauty. The Hittite - "Mesopotamiam" melancholic chants made all this feel all the more real, the lighting, the mechanics, the spear fights... This character seems to embody this game's theme SO PERFECTLY! Congrats Sofia! I am still waiting to buy the game on physical edition on December, but I will enjoy this game as a glorious Bronze Age master piece like there hasn't been one ever!

[@DonCorleone964]

I've always liked the idea of not just having Empire Building as a goal for all factions in all Total war games, but other goals as well. Like surviving a civilization-ending challenge! I also like defensive factions, so I think my first campaign will be with this guy 😊

[@garyli4909]

Have you played Total War: Attila? It's a total war game where you can play the massive Rome empire to survive the attack of the hordes and build your empire up. That game is not an idea, and it's way cheaper than this game. Also lots of modding support.

[@DonCorleone964]

@@garyli4909 I have not tried that one, since I have no interest in the time period. But, as you indeed guessed, I approve of the concept. I have, however tried to prevent the Han Empire from collapsing in Three Kingdoms. Jolly good fun :) But these examples are just two out of many, many, many other Total War campaigns where strict Imperialism is the only way to go. In Pharao, ALL factions need to survive the natural disasters, unrest and the sea peoples. That is the interesting bit for me. When I mentioned the idea of non-empire building factions, avoiding collapse was just the relevant case in point, since we are talking about Pharao. I would like to have other types of victory, more like Civilization. For instance, I would like to play a version of Empire Total War where France can have a cultural objective, where they win because most other factions idealize them (their fashion, their mannerisms, their language, their philosophy, their policies e.t.c). That would be awesome! A sort of soft power victory condition :D

[@garyli4909]

@@DonCorleone964 having more wining objective to do other than painting the map in my color is indeed a very interesting concept. Well said Don. Lets see how it work out and wether AI can make use of the same mechanic.

[@DonCorleone964]

​@@garyli4909I had not thought of that particular challenge of having a sufficiently good AI 😅 And there have been some puppet-master factions that might not even fight an official war and still win... that might count as a diplomatic victory I guess 😊

[@therexbellator]

I prefer historical TW over Warhammer TW, but I'm not a purist about what historical TWs have to be. I like the blending of historical strategy/tactics with leader-based approach of each faction and an ominous societal collapse / invasion that echoes Chaos from WH. My biggest concern is replayability. Even with several leaders per faction I feel like replayability will be limited and my enthusiasm is further dulled when I know CA is going to fill in the rest of the map with DLC factions. I think we should have gotten at least 2 more factions just to give some variety.

[@MedjayofFaiyum]

Suppiluliuma is bascially the Hector of the Hittitie Empire. He is a noble King, a hero of the ages. He's a VERY good case as to why we need more Mesopotamian Civilisations in this game!

[@markusmoller8653]

Hittites are located in Turkey and have little to do with Mesopotamia. Mesopotamia isn't even in the game, which is a shame.

[@firilockz]

I like what I see, iam cautious with this one but every showcase makes me think it will be a great game. The campaign map looks gorgeous, the campaign gameplay seems multilayered, the sense of collapse and invasion seems immersive.. Not totally sold on the battles though..

[@mikeboix3315]

My same exact thoughts, specially the disastrous rear attack by the AI in 8:30 looks worrying to me.

[@stevenabernathy4618]

The early access was awesome great game, just needs more cultures/factions and map expansions

[@manospondylus4896]

I am very intrigued by how little we have actually seen so far of the Sea People. This is just pure tinfoil-hattery, but what if they can be unlocked as a playable faction after winning the game?

[@jaspermooren5883]

I expect them to be more of a doomsday army you fight against, and honestly I'd prefer it that way.

[@ja3044]

It would be a big surprise (in positive sense), but I'm afraid that they will be first DLC... Anyway, we need more factions like Irsu, to burn Bronze Age world which was. Anyway, I can't wait to lead Sea Peoples and punish these rich and proud empires :)

[@resileaf9501]

It would certainly be a nice surprise if they got the Dong Zhuo treatment, but they don't actually have any territory and spawn semi-randomly, so I don't think there's really any room for them having a campaign.

[@manospondylus4896]

@@jaspermooren5883 Probably true, but then again, there were multiple different groups of Sea People (like Sherden or Phillistines), so you could have one be playable while another one is still the AI doomsday army

[@jaspermooren5883]

In Warhammer they made warriors of chaos the launch DLC, but honestly it was a meh campaign. But I liked them as an enemy a lot, way more than the TWW3 implementation of Chaos as enemies (and I don't like playing chaos, so I don't really care how they play personally). I wouldn't have minded (in fact I'd have preferred it) if Chaos was just kept as an unplayable doomsday horde with no settlements. I'd prefer if they make the sea peoples the same way. It adds to their mystique if they are just 'from the west' and a bunch of raiders that invade from the western edge of the map moving eastwards. In DLCs I'd be far more interested in seeing them expend eastward towards Babylonia than westward. Maybe Greece is cool as an expansion (as long as it is age appropriate and not classical greece like they completely screwed up Egypt in Rome 2 and basically made you travel over 1000 years back in time.) I'm much more interested in the east than the west though. If I designed this game I'd keep the sea peoples home lands off the map and really make it an invasion. It's the bronze age collapse, not the let's conquer the west before they attack. That would be super anticlimactic imho, in the same way that I personally heavily preferred Chaos in WH1 and 2 over WH3.

[@user-vf3ji8bi5v]

Very Interesting. I like the Hittite

[@generationm2059]

Imagine getting defeated by a king whose name you can't even pronounce. Anyway, I can imagine the backstory of the group of Sea Peoples sailing for the Hittite Empire. After burning Troy to the ground, Agamenon and Friends learned too late that they not only screwed up commerce in the Mediterranean for everyone including themselves but the plunder they took from the city were not enough to keep their palaces and fortresses from falling into disrepair and their societies from collapsing. Wishing to save what's left of their civilization, they (or rather their descendants) decided to sail for the rest of Asia Minor...

[@communistcuphead2901]

[@JrottenOlm]

10:45 Not a huge fan of the enemy buffs basically just amounting to higher combat stats. I do like the effects on morale and replenishment, but just slapping on an additional 30/40/50% to melee Atk/Def or charge bonus is exactly the kind of stuff I don't enjoy in the higher combat difficulties of previous TW games.

[@itspat87]

I’ve got to say that this game is looking more and more engaging every update I see. A year ago, I couldn’t have been more uninterested about the focus and setting of this game. Now,if only we can hope of them bridging the campaign maps of both Troy and Pharaoh like we’ve seen with Warhammer….

[@resileaf9501]

There's a lot of material and different mechanics to go through! So many systems to play with~ I'm really looking forward to seeing what a campaign in the full collapse with invasions will be like.

[@garyli4909]

Yeah more actual gameplay instead of those smoke and mirror marketing video would be real nice.

[@perdugo]

08:30 So the IA had a great oportunity to attack the rear of the player's army and it just try to force it way through the player's army to join the army inside the city. Yeah...

[@domovies5698]

Yeah, I was expecting a better AI for a game that has dynamic weather, new unit stances, and tactical battle fields elements, like mud, grass, etc… I hope they can atleast use those features to the AIs advantage. But this rush to the settlement thing has never been fixed properly in TW games.

[@koppo9172]

Shogun 2 had barely any inventions and was still loved by many. Atila wasn't that loved by people, but it was the first game that introduced razing of settlment and horde mechanic. Most of the community just wants to love or hate for the sake of it. The community is equally hypocritical and full of crap as CA, but there are some good points and concerns it raises from time to time.

If you never reach bronze india or greece, or past to the carpathians, and alps, or down to the gulf of persia with the twin river nations, then you will have made a game with a lot of my favorite total war features and then some! Your studio has decided to take an ambitious project and I believe this gambit will make it! Just, CA, dont make the same mistake again. Let Sofia playtest for a WHILE before you release. Because if they do, i think, CA, as in the people who would be relevant, that you will see a more stable and better designed Rome 2 spiritual successor. I hope you can add those regions, but as it is? I am just happy to finally see someone bring the bronze age to life ❤

[@mobitouchiha]

It is nice to see a game that deals with the Bronze Age collapse. I see some people getting upset about some of the creative liberties that the devs took, but in some of these cases we really don’t have any good sources of the matter. Unit composition or tactics for example: I know of no Hittite or Akkadian text that really give a good overview. And if you really look in depth at other pre modern time periods our sources might be better, but far from painting a clear picture either. Look at the Early imperial roman army: every one knows a century has 80 soldiers, a cohort 560 and a legion 5600 +/- auxiliaries and losses. But these numbers come from Vegetius who wrote at the end of the 4. century and if we take a look at the consonants tablets or barrack layouts it really seems to vary. This is why reconstructions are never going to be perfect, if it is a picture in a history book or a game, there always will be the point where a decision will have to be made in a situation where no expert would back it. Sure, there is a point where historical inaccuracies will destroy your immersion, but I don’t see that anywhere here. If the game turns out to be fun, I am sure that everyone will look past some slight inaccuracies or creative liberties that were taken. Rome 1 was a great game and the Ptolemaic dynasty was riding around in a thousand year old chariots.

Dear CA, I am not upset with you trying to bring this game to the community now. It's noble purpose to try and experiment - I am sure Pharaoh will have its fan base, don't doubt it. However, IF next you will start working on an Empire 2 or Medieval 3, I trust you'll regain so much lost ground in the eyes of many. Please spend as much time you like on testing, bug removal so that when it gets released it will not have the issues of others in the past. Looking forward to your next product of love, cheers!

@@Varuna2098 First, I thought it was obvious that the two games are from the same era, otherwise I don't think someone would wonder if they could be combined. :) Second, there was ideed a historical trojan war, but the foundational principle of TW Saga Troy is that it is semi-mythological (which I love by the way. TW Saga Troy is my favourite TW). The historical and mythological campaigns are modifications of the standard campaign. So, the timeline of the game is the short period of 20 years or so (as I understand it) that homers Illiad refers to. Makes sense, since Saga game handles a shorter time scale than a standard total war. Lastly, from what I understand, Pharao is more of a historical game with knowledge gaps filled in by educated guesses. Also, since it is a standard Total War I assumed that the time scale would be longer than a Saga title. Both of these aspects would indicate that a joined map would have to join the historical campaign version of Troy with Pharao so that the Trojan war would only be a part of a larger scale campaign, and this means that there would have to be other, or at least more, campaign goals and characters. That is why I concluded that it would have to be an alternate possible history sandbox campaign, which I would be very interested in trying :D

It's a high Price for a troy dlc... Ho wathever "industry standards" hmmm CA?

[@0786RICARDO]

They're still focusing on the hero centered crap. Hupilululu, no one cares, show us nations... not a guy no one knows about.

[@cheungchingtong]

Just can't get interested in it, might be the first title I would pass for almost two decades since TW: Rome, sadly.

[@cg9251]

Why don't you make a cultures-specific interface?

[@Asraeks]

Back in the day this would be a part of kingdoms expansion equivalent. Now its separate expensive game

[@resileaf9501]

I dare you to find me a Kingdoms campaign that has so many campaign mechanics.

[@obscure-cultist1709]

As much as I enjoyed the Kingdoms expansions... Resileaf is correct. There were barely any themed mechanics aside from reskins of units and buildings. Ooh, Total War: Mexico! Now there's an idea! 😄

[@resileaf9501]

@@obscure-cultist1709 With today's technology, a New World themed Total War where you play as one of the native nations as the first European explorers start crossing the Atlantic would be very interesting.

Why was this made? why?

Where's Israel? Where's the "historical authenticity"? According to Pharoah Merneptah (huge 3m black granite Stela, Cairo Museum), Israel was on of the "Nine Bows" of foreign power he contended with.

I know this is not the business of Sofia, but I think it is necessary for CA. After Hotfix, there is a terrible BUG in WH3, that is if a infantry block move even just one step, they can get charge bonus, which lead to Players' infantry can hardly stand against AI's troop.

I hope the Sea People’s are shown with Iron Weapons instead of Bronze because from what little History we know of this Era, the Sea People did have Iron Weapons instead of Bronze, which is what made them a more formidable force on the battlefield than any other force in this time.

[@communistcuphead2901]

We know of a few iron weapons at the time but for all we know the sea peoples didn't have a mainly iron made armament they were rather similarly armed to the peoples they were invading, never sub estimate the power of desperate people

Guys please stopping looking at CA as your favourite game develop, STOP looking at total war titles as your favourite titles. THEY ARE NOT WHAT THEY USED TO BE! All the good dev and good executive has long moved on to other company since the days of Medieval total war and Rome total war or Shogun total war. Please make your purchase decision as a business decision! PLEASE PLEASE BE MORE RATIONAL!

[@resileaf9501]

Rationally-speaking, I love every Total War game. Even Empire. I don't care about "the good old days" when they days are still good.

You don't tell me what I enjoy.

At 2:45 is that an edit or did you really add a full 3d UI?

It's almost certainly a clever edit.

[@erik8136]

Yes please go ahead and showcase the entire damn game before launch, brilliant idea...
