Remember to hate the executives, not the developers
And the fandumb
@@obscure-cultist1709 reddit has been a disaster for the human species
Cut executive salaries, reduce prices.
I feel so bad for the developers, pouring their heart into a game that's likely going to fail because of greedy executives.
Whoever is making these decisions at CA is really dragging the company down. I wonder if Pharaoh would have had more factions if they were under different management.
Personally the game looks beautiful, and I'm okay with a historical TW game that to do things differently from past historical titles, but three factions - even with extra leaders per faction - just feels like replayability is going to suffer. And this negative outlook is only compounded because I know in my gut that CA is going to sell as many faction DLCs as they can get away with when you look at all the empty space around the map.
I'm going to sit this one out.
@@therexbellator There would 100% be more factions. I mean look at Medieval 2, Empire, and hell even Rome 2.
Yeah this one looks super disappointing. There's decent systems and mechanics in here so they've definitely worked hard, but the fan base is rightly pissed with CA so anything coming out right now is doomed
@@Taskicore Yeah Rome 2 even at launch had variety.
Admittedly the campaign strategy here looks more detailed with all the court/crown upgrades, weather effects, and campaign progression but still, faction uniqueness is the "meat" of Total War. Different leaders will still draw from the same pool of units from that faction.
I just don't think this is a 70 dollar TW game with those additions, which is why I'm holding off.
pray this will not be the case
Hide in the corner of the map, got it.
Just a question, where are SHIPS?
Interesting era. But it would be nice to know what kind of content the upcoming DLCs offer. Why should I buy the 90 euro dynasty edition if I don't even know what kind of factions (new cultures or just for existing cultures like Egyptians) will come?
especially after a certain overpriced DLC >.>
dont worry in order to have a half past historical title you only will have to pay 150% more or less.....
Yeah that's why I'll probably wait on this game for a long while, I'd like to see what gets added and if it's supported well, as the setting itself is kinda cool
Ask the marketing team/financial department then, the devs don't really have much control over the price.
@@OceanSea12 The only language marketing/managers know is $$$$$$
Pharaoh Thutmose III conducted at least 16 campaigns in 20 years. American Egyptologist James Breasted referred to him as "the Napoleon of Egypt" for his conquests and expansionism Thutmose III is recorded to have captured 350 cities during his rule and conquered much of the Near East from the Euphrates to Nubia during seventeen known military campaigns. He was the first pharaoh after Thutmose I to cross the Euphrates, doing so during his campaign against Mitanni. His campaign records were inscribed onto the walls of the temple of Amun at Karnak (transcribed in Urkunden IV). He transformed Egypt into an international superpower by creating an empire that stretched from the Asian regions of Syria to the North, to Upper Nubia to the south.
It looks cool and a solid game overall BUT it lacks more cultures and more lands. A bronze age game without the Babylonians, Assyrians and Mycenaeans is like Rome 2 with just Romans and the Gauls on the campaign map
Don't worry, those cultures will be sold as dlc!
Don't worry, total war's campaign map can currently be expanded or divided into territories with updates like 3K's nanman dlc or wh3's chaos dwarf dlc.
@@luanle4941 shouldn't have to buy 30€ worth of DLC to complete a 60€ game bro
@@thedog558£20 😂😂😂
Totally agree, the title is already expensive so i hope we get some territory expansion for free
I’m glad that you acknowledged that the Egyptians had a corvée system for manual labour 😊
Over half a million subscribers and less that ten thousand views, this should tell you something CA.
Yeah it tells me that warhammer players who want to see a dragon smash some orks don't care about the bronze age, no way.
Need more factions, really bare bones game and map
Cheaper to make.
DLC and mo monies, which I will supply as this is one of my favorite settings in history.
Maybe you could use underwhelming Saga game for assets in Immortal Empires and add Araby or something.
I know I know Araby is super offensive and orientalist, but that's why you cut the Aladdin crap and bring it down to earth, maybe don't call it Araby but name it after the faction capitals or something.
Make it all part of a Southern Realms expansion, give Monkey King for Ind, add some Dogs of War with hoard mechanics able to recruit from friendly factions maybe, add in a Border Prince, it could all work rather well.
320+ / 370-
I really think this has potential, but there is so many good games this year that I just can't find time for this. And I still need to play forge of the chaos dwarfs and baldurs gate 3.
It'd better not disappoint considering the price...
I hate to be negative because CA has been one of my favorite devs but honestly it's best to sit this one out and see how the launch goes and post-launch. The way CA is behaving lately it might be best to sit this one out.
Looks great, but I'll wait for the Babylon DLC
Facinerosos!!
HAT SIMULATOR here We COMEEEEEE
Hey CA sofia, it's great you made a game on bronze age collapse. looking forward to play it but maybe will pickup it up at discount as for a student that is too much for me
CA please dont sack sofia studio if this fails; if it fails it is on the executives who green-lit this saga game into a full price title.
If it fails, it's on the people who refused to give it a chance because of preconceptions. The sheer variety of material and mechanics in this game puts it far beyond the Saga scope.

Yeah but they always wanted Total War: Hawaii for some reason. Is it because they want to yell "kamehameha" when they play as Kamehameha? These are the questions for the ages

Feel bad for the devs. Game might get a lot of hate just because of shitty policy towards WH 3
@@apatheticnoncombatant7750 what a weird definition of "good" and "negative" people you have. People pointing out corporate greed and misconduct where they see it are "negative" and those who continue to loyally buy from the greedy corporation are "good". SMH.
I think that, if this game will receive hate after the launch, it will be because of everybody was expecting a medieval 3 total war or an empire 2. Most of people was asking for a medieval 3 (even in trailers of warhammer total wars and their dlcs) and they bring this to us. I love Egypt as a person who grew up watching films like The Mummy or playing with Egypt in a lot of strategy games (rome 1 and 2 total war, Imperium 1, 2 and 3, etc) but I expected a medieval 3. And another problem was that this game, specially at the begining, looked like a Troy 2.0 or a dlc of Troy, not like a new game. I think is a great game, with good ideas and an interesting period of History but, maybe, a but moment to choose for making it.
@@apatheticnoncombatant7750Are you so confident that people will buy it anyway when one of the core complaints is the price increase? I’m sorry but not everyone can piss away $60 for less content than Warhammer 1
@@apatheticnoncombatant7750 Except most peoples gripes about CA aren't contingent solely on a recent DLC. Its been an ongoing thing for years now that modern CA is a far inferior iteration of this company then it was in the past when it came to product quality and value proposition.
😊
That’s such a cool set up. I really wanna try my hand at surviving the collapse.
The game looks nice, however the setting is a little off, not sure.
Why? One of the most interesting time periods in human history imo
Most of the community is quite spoiled with the warhammer series, but I really hope this game do good, the era is really a good choice and if they add later on Babylonian, Assyrian or even Myceanean cultures, it will be really well established game. Also big hopes to not be abandoned like the Troy saga game..
They've never expanded the campaign map before, be interesting how they can do that but sea people's, and Greek and mesopotamian factions should have been in from base game, they will out sea people's as paid dlc like they did with chaos faction.
@@irishaudia6c750They have done it like 3k's dlc nanman expanded the southern land or wh2 gradually expanded IM campaign map with each dlc update. But this time, if the expansion is done, it will be a huge expansion on the map. If Mesopotamia is added, it will be at least 1.5 times larger than the current map. Or maybe you only play med2 so you don't know anything about the changes and are full of expectations with the current CA
@@irishaudia6c750They did expand the campaign map in Three Kingdoms and added new regions into what before was just empty space around the playable part. That was only I think 10-15 regions, but technically it's possible. And we've seen with the Immortal Empires Expanded mod that even modders can expand the current campaign map.
@@lp4514I watched the gmaeplay videos and saw that the pharaoh's campaign map had a lot of hiding places at the border of the map, not completely framed like Empire or Napoleon, so the expansion of the pharaoh campaign map is possible in the future.
Idk man. Warhammer 1 had more content at launch than this
its such a hard sell to go from the fantastical warhammer universe back to boring old human history.

I don't know if they will go that rout like war hammer. where its a mash of characters from through out the time lines. It seems to me. at least at this time. that they will only have named people in the historical records from the time of the Bronze age collaps. But!! on the other hand. :3 Modding them is would be great fun for the different nations.
I hope you guys expand the map for free as the game goes on, cause it's pretty Saga for the cost we're paying. Though the mechanics are cool
By that logic, Shogun 2 was a saga game.
@@resileaf9501 Shogun 2 was too focused for me. I like a wider map
Since the game is basically 100% going to fail financially, I wouldn't expect too much expansion if any
@@miketaco4996 The DLCs have been basically promised since they've already been sold with the more expensive versions of the game. If CA doesn't deliver the DLCs, they open themselves for litigation, so there's no way they don't.

Consume product. Wait for next product.
A physical edition that includes a download code, lmao.
Lmao another CA shill here
Im sorry, it just sounds like every campaign will follow roughly the same course with little diversity in tactics or army-makeup. Its the Bronze Age so again no cavalry, just various chariots and infantry of very same-looking peoples. No real exotic things like playable Nubians, Greeks or Babylonians yet anyway. When those things are added with the DLCs, maybe. But right now Im not convinced.
Lower the price CA, nobodhy is giving 60 $ for a saga game
I normally wouldnt. But the bronze age is too fascinating for me to pass up on this.
@@skylerslack12 what is so interesthing about it
It's bigger than Shogun, and it also has more cultures
@user-vv3pv6xt9m what's not fascinating about the bronze age? It's first time humankind has built empires, tried organized warfare, international trade, diplomacy, the bronze age collapse is also the perfect setting for total war, an event that was so brutal and so dark that writing disappeared for centuries In some places.
This game looks amazing both visually and mechanics wise. Music is on another level, it’s just perfect.
The problem is the size of the map, it doesn’t cover enough territory and of course need three more civilizations, Babylon, Assyria and the Greeks (Mycenae and Minoans and Troy)
Then, this game will be great.
Also the price is just absurd.
Too bad the devs will not get the praise they deserve for their work.
stop designing MOBA arenas for battle maps, they look unnatural and illogical
Is Pharaoh like Troy, where you can't really afford more than 3 armies?
you can have tons of armies in Troy

it is out!!!!, battle AI totally broken....
Looking past the flowery language of the developers, I can't help but notice that most of the mechanics shown are from TWW, just with a slightly different coat of paint/ui.
And most of what TWW came from other games like Troy and other Sagas. and even some Historical games.
The best thing we all can do IS NOT SHOP IT , then companies will start to listen players
Will there be a Medieval Total War 3? I want it.
No you don't. Imagine a total war medieval 3 with this broken engine. Let them remaster it, it's better this way
I don't care wtf it is. I just want a Medieval period @@1YCARADOFACAO
It’s possible that the main historical team is working on it already.
Colored tinsel, such colors simply hurt the eyes. Calling old game mechanics new names won't change anything.😠 The animation of the soldiers is so the same, just a couple of different models. New game, new hack
if that is what you wanted you should look for games made by different company. it has been a long standing Tradition for CA to reuse those things you complain about. I'll quote 2 things for you. 1) there is nothing new under the Sun. 2) Don't fix it if it is not Broke.
Also I don't hate a game because it uses stuff from other games. if fact a lot of people like to see older game Macanics in newer titles. If they where a fan of those older games.
@@Gibson7Clans I agree that this game is not that bad, but it used to be better, but now it sucks

Don’t like it and no what you do now, I’ll still hate this saga!LOL. Fix the other games after all these years. Just keep doing the same thing, never cha he’s atCA.
i pre-ordered the game can't wait to play. The game looks so cool and i like the new mechanics the only i afraid the victory conditions i don't want to conquer the half of the map each nation because is long time and so boring.
Do Nubian Have Cavalry In Real History Nubian Egyptians Love Horses 🐎 one Nubian Kush Pharaoh weep because the Horses Was Badly Maintained but Do Nubian Have Cavalier Nubians Had Cavalry When they fought the Assyrians
I think it depends on era. there was a Common Practice of chariots over Horse back riding. one reason was there was not the tools needed to make Horse back riding use-able by common people. For example all the stuff a cow boy puts on a horse before riding. did not exist. so it was Pretty hard to hide a horse at that time. Some horse Breeds where also smaller then later Horse breeds. So they can't carry as much waight at their backs. but they could still pull alot. So chariots where desired by militaires. for many more reason then this.
@@Gibson7Clans I Agree with you an Disagree Because Horses 🐎 Been Around Longer Then We Have or The Same Europeans Horse Riding Was Different Then Earlier Ancient Egyptians Chariots Riding Was Use Alot But Like as The Years Go On Everything Goes Out Of Style I See What Mean I Personally Like Chariots Riding But It pharaohs All ways Complained about Horses Later Different Egyptians an Nubians Kush Dynasty’s Changed There Warfare Tactics From Chariots To Horse Riding When Basically it Really Depends But I’m pretty Ancient Egyptians an Kush pharaohs Road Horses All Cultures Did Not Just on Chariots
most of the Develupment in to Horse riding. was done by Step nomads who pretty much only did horse riding. So there where Coulters that did horse riding. and Just like Guns did not take over the Role of a Bow over night. but took hundreds of years to replace all other ranged weapons used by those people. it took hundreds of years for chariots to be complete not used over horse riding. there where many places were chariots and Horse riders worked together in the same army for quite some time. Both had their uses. And Advantages. @@pharaohmedjaylawofmedjay2680
Nice! 🤩
very important to make the game easy to learn. easy to learn difficult to master. but i fear this game will be difficult to learn.
I'm so hyped playing as a Pharao❤
Go play Brother in arms games instead of buying this crap, it's cheaper and you get all three games in the price of one warhammer dlc
Damn ...what the he'll. 2023...and game looks way worse than medieval and Rome 2. Where when u zoom in are the realistic fighting etc. These troops are just like a rpg. Randomly hitting air and randomly dying. I bought every total war..kept playing due to un depth mods till new one released...but 3 kingdoms..Troy.....this is nothing like total war of old. They were boring..unrealistic...abd as fir now so many facymrmtions behind paywalls...lack of mods fixing city maps and game etc ..yeah l have stopped buying total war now. Pharoah tw....is no where near what l want. Medieval remade is what l want..rome 3 with modern close up gritty realistic troop fighting....lm going to buy manor lords a game that is way way better looking and realistic. So sad to see the terrible direction total war has gone.
I'm in the minority, but I acctually liked Troy. I like the collapse system and the soundtrack. But the game is lacking more factions and important places.
even the battles where everything felt impact less?
This comment and the one below it, is the reason why CA keeps getting away by putting only basic mechanics in newer total war games. Did you get free games by defending CA?
@@Rifqiethehero 👍
Your not alone. there are many who liked Troy. and there are many who will like Pharoah.
The only total war games I am going to buy are remakes for Medieval 2 and Empire. NOT sequels as I don't trust you all (including the developers) as you guys will simply launch a game filled with bugs, less mechanics only to be included in a later DLC.
After that I am DONE with Total War.
I mean they have put in the work to make the Sea Peoples. The faction exists in the game and yet it is not playable. Like imagine if the Huns where not playable in Attila. My guess is that they are going to be released as a dlc, which is all kinds of annoying. Good case scenario it comes with an expansion in sea regions (Cyprus - a major civ and Crete - an opportunity for a ''Minoan restoration'' campaign. Best case scenario we get an immortal empires kind of dlc where we finally get the Greek and West Anatolia regions from Troy - something many of use expected. That kind of dlcs are the only ones I would appreciate - map expansion to Greece and Mesopotamia, to eventually cover all major Bronze Age civs. If they are planning to make some kind of trilogy where the next ''major game release'' is a game that focuses entirely on Mesopotamia, that would totally flop. Thus far this is a saga game priced as a major title and the aforementioned expansions would be the only thing that would make it an actual major title, worth the price.
Yeah, it's like if they made the Mongols and Timurids in Medieval 2 but then made them non-playable.
Wait...
The Timurids and the Mongol invasion was not the focus of the campaign, which by the way started a good 100+ years before the Mongol invasion and 300 before the Timurid one, so it wasn't really possible now was it? Maybe you also wanted playable Aztecs? At least they had a brand new mechanic for the time, by expanding the map in the 1500s. And of course med 2 did not have literally 3 cultures playable. @@resileaf9501
And lets not even compare the mountain of content the Kingdoms expansion brought. Poor comparison my friend@@resileaf9501
@@resileaf9501 Ya and it is still somewhat a stupid design choice. However this was back in 2005 and at least they allowed us to play the Timurids, Mongols and Aztecs in Multiplayer. Modern CA I doubt they'd be so generous. Especially this is the company that did demand pre order DLC of the literal main antagonists in warhammer that is the Chaos warriors. So ya.
@@robosoldier11 The Sea Peoples are not only playable in multiplayer, they can be trained in campaign once they settle the campaign map as well.
It seems like they were trying to make a movie/story rather than let the player chose their own path? I think we prefer more freedom in these game types (see paradox CK3 for example). Players rather enjoy to have the ability to take generic characters and form their own story and greatness rather than have it isolated and focused which forces a narrative of the developers. The game looks ok, but will need a mode where there is possibly a dynasty or more sandbox decision making that doesn’t bottleneck the player (no immortal generals). Similar to how atilla had a family tree and randomly generated generals and heirs after a king/emperor died.
You are hardly locked to where your faction starts. It is fully possible for an Egyptian lord to head off into the Hittite Empire and try to take them over or take refuge in the desert and wait out the invasions as best you can.
Plus randomized starts are one of the options in the game, so if you really want freedom, you can choose that. ;)
They specifically said multiple times that they made this as much sandbox as possible. All those things like becoming Pharaoh etc you can completely ignore and play the game your way if you want. The only thing you cant change is the faction leader, everything else is up to you. But you can just disband him, never use him and pretend he's not there and is ruling the empire from home and use a generic lord as your main army/leader.
Also Napoleon, Rome 2 and Attila also had immortal leaders too. With Rome 2 it was in the Caesar in Gaul, Hannibal at the Gates, Emperor Augustus and Empire Divided campaigns and in Attila in the Last Roman and Charlemagne campaigns. In all of them the leaders couldn't be permanently killed in battle and didn't die of old age. But it didn't feel like those campaigns weren't still pretty sandbox like in my opinion.
@@lp4514did you watch the video? it’s a story total war the end will always be the same. nothing bad about it but it’s just different from the sandbox their player base typically wants
@@ThomasL12. I did watch it but I also watched all other videos where they talked about it and It's not more a story Total War as Attila was where the Huns also came at the end in every campaign and the world also "collapsed" with worse climate etc but except for that nothing is scripted, the collapse here can be prevented and you can do whatever you want.
Also Pharaoh has campaign customization options where you can actually turn Sea People off, so if you don't want them to appear every time you can completely remove them and the story element from the campaign.
And the faction leaders also don't have a story you have to follow or special events, they're just a regular faction leader and you can just never use them and play the campaign with different generals if you want, you don't have to do something with them.
I was born too late to witness the Bronze Age Collapse, but apparently just in time to watch the collapse of Total War series.
How about your entire company began to fix the current titles rather than spewing out half baked games or content?
That seems fair doesn't it? You get your customer-base back through acting on the behest of the customer's interest by making good products and money will flow automatically, its that bloody simple and yet you keep on failing because you rather have cheap labour and short investments for the sake of money-grabs for the shareholders.

@@resileaf9501 You can have medieval or pike and shot period without being "euro centric"
the most annoying/lazy mechanic playing total war is enemies spawning out of no where is the back of your region.
They don't spawn in the back of your region, they come from the sea on the western border of the map where there's just ocean, so you wont even see them spawning there because thats so far away. And there's not much they could do to make that more complex or whatever, that's just where they historically came from and then started raiding places.
Blame history for having armies spawning out of (seemingly) nowhere.
They literally spawned out of the sea in real life
If your worried about that. Have singe units of troops sitting out at sea. acting as early warning of incaming raids.
You can also build Forts around and at your coastal cities. that double the defenders of a Settlement. You can also take out the troops from a Fort and add them to your army. to make an Emergency army in your back lined settlements. to wipe out the invaders. before spreding out your troops again to their forts.
The game is good but the price is to much for what it offers. Its basically a reskin of troy. It adds some new cool stuff but its not worth it for the price. Keep in this direction but stop being so greedy you will blame this failure (cause thats what it is going to be) in the hard working and pacionate people that nade this game possible (probably restricted to a low budget and time constraints) while the truth its that you have absolutely lost your essence. Rome total war was so cool it had so many features we now are missing. Unit mass and colission, campaign features, known historical scenarios and time periods. PLUS THERES STILL NO BLOOD IN A 50usd game with 4 or 5 facciones. Good work with the game guys. I hope CA realizes the mistake is their own fault.

@@GermanOlle yeah i guess it isn't the traits itself that bothers me, but the visuals of how they (and the rest of the UI) are presented. The game is just extremely ugly in my opinion (and i have the same opinion about that for all post-attila total war games).
@@keizervanenerc5180 So clear UIs where all the numbers are laid out for ease of access are bad to you?
This is not total war , sorry
It is total war though. Total war SAGA
@@1YCARADOFACAO I don’t agree
A total war saga should have population mechanics
Dying faction leaders as it’s a historical game !!!
A lot of missing features should be added to the game and never stripped out
@@ismaelhossam Faction leaders die when their factions are destroyed. When the core concept is a succession war, and succession wars require characters to lead them, those leaders need to remain alive to lead their faction. Otherwise there's no war.
@@resileaf9501 very wrong my friend the civil war will be always triggered
Didn’t you play 3k , very normal the faction leader dies and it’s about civil war
In imperator Augustus campaign the leaders normally die
If we get a Caesar saga he must die so we can see the very next Antony!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t know how do you think but I respect your opinion thou
@@resileaf9501 if they added family trees which must be implemented
There would have been an heir very normally
Another glimpse into a reason not to buy the game lol
Can you specify please
No one even wanted this game. Theres so many other games we wanted. Med 3, rome 3 , empire 2
Speak for yourself. I’ve wanted a Bronze Age game for ages.
I wanted these settings too, minus the Rome 3. But, at this point, I'm cool with anything that's not fantasy or WH.
@@charlesmiv3842 do you see it historical game with immortal faction leaders and no families?
I don’t have faith in them anymore to be honest
@@ismaelhossamNapoleon, Rome 2 and Attila also had immortal leaders. With Rome 2 it was in the Caesar in Gaul, Hannibal at the Gates, Emperor Augustus and Empire Divided campaigns and in Attila in the Last Roman and Charlemagne campaigns. In all of them the leaders couldn't be permanently killed in battle and didn't die of old age. And I would still call them historical games.
Also the reason that there are no families is that one turn equals 2 months, so 6 turns are one year so even 300 turns are only 50 years. So a family tree would be useless in that because even if you get a new son at turn one of the campaign, he wont be 16 to lead an army until turn 96.
@@lp4514haha, critical damage🤣, the negative comments are all people who have never crossed the boundaries of med2 to see what CA has adjusted after nearly 20 years
Game is lackluster af. Dlcs upon dlcs. Nah thanks.
