12:45 and this is the HP(god mode) system since Warhammer games , which I hate it.Rome1,Medieval2,Empire,Shogun 2 forever !.Thank you and have a nice day Ps.The music is really bad.This is Pharaoh time , not the Viking time
It might not be completely realistic, but I've always liked semi-colour coded units so you can more easily tell apart the units. That'd be amazing to see as atleast an option, besides that it all looks fun!
I hate how the player is always set as green and the enemy red, I prefer rome 2 etc where you have banners and the battle colour is your factions colour
@@anthonyhoran3949ik it’s so much better. i can maybe get around the soldiers not holding banners or officers since i dunno if they actually did. but the flags are so nice it’s a missed opportunity
Full city sieges and establishing and garrisoning outlying forts? Well these are features I haven’t seen in a Total War game in a fair few years. Good job bringing them back.
Thanks CA for ruining older titles. What you did with Shogun 2, messing up mods and the vanilla game to the extent some people still can't play the game without it shitting itself is disgusting. Modders and common players wrapping their heads around how to make a game that was perfectly fine for a decade work again is inexcusable, the lengths you went to, like changing file names just to make fixing your "fixes" even harder goes to show how little you respect your own customers and supporters. Whatever your intentions were, these changes will make people move away from TW titles entirely or pirate older versions that still work so they can play the well optimized, mod supported games they love. Your cheery on top is Pharaoh, which looks like a low effort cash grab where the pretty graphics and "we brought back mechanics nobody wanted removed :D" are the only things it has going for it. No improvements on age old requests like better collision mechanics or individual entity stats, things that were done better by older titles - fantastical as it may sound. Even calling this title a Saga like everyone knows it is and dropping the price to a less insulting amount wouldn't be enough to restore a shred of the legitimacy you have lost. I wish you, CA, nothing good
Why are you intentionally sabotaging your older titles like Shogun 2? You removed multiplayer chat and just recently removed the workshop as well as changed file names to confuse and hinder modders even more. By ruining your older titles do you think it will make people buy your new barebone games?
The terms "Upper Egypt" and "Lower Egypt" are historical designations based on the flow of the Nile River rather than their geographic positions. The Nile River flows from south to north, so Upper Egypt refers to the southern part of the country, while Lower Egypt refers to the northern part.
They are not immune. It was a mechanic implemented in Troy. Some unit had extra dmg when attacking a unit from the flank or from behind. And there were some special/elite units that neglected that bonus dmg, but they still get lower morale when flanked
@@OceanSea12 thats already accounted for with weapon damage, and the shield's melee defense and armor. A shield only provides the defense/armor to the front. So units flanking already do more damage and have a higher hit chance. no need for the increase damage.
@@liviuadrian1101 It's a stupid mechanic imo, you take 2 units with the same stats, but one of them has the "better at flanking" trait, so now they do more damage when flanking? How does that make any sense?
@Hitmannzz Even if they are announced, without a new engine and a fresh developmental approach, those games will continue to suffer from endemic issues that have plagued total war for the better part of 10 years
This game, much like Troy and 3 kingdoms, is most likely a test release for new advanced mechanics they want to test out before implementing in more popular TW genres. Hopefully Medieval 3 is one of them.
Legit, what happened over at CA the historical franchise IMO is in trouble like wtf legit just gets worse not funny for life long fans some of my greatest childhood memories were playing Napoleon with my dad and massive Anglophile abosest with that era. Very sad to grow to an adult and see my favarouite by far game franchise slowly die and morph into something TOTALLY different hahah
I'm not sold on this in the slightest and I've watched every pre-release video. They can hype up these mechanics as much as they want, but I'm not feeling like the gameplay will be all that unique or engaging.
This is a Troy reskin with a couple new features. Why was there more innovation from Rome 1 to Medieval 2 with the same map and different time period 17 years ago? Does CA not have more resources? Have game development tools not improved? What about game design? WH, Troy and Pharaoh gameplay all feels the same. Even the voice acting has gotten worse. Why are British voice actors used in ancient Egypt? Didn't the British Empire colonize Egypt in 1882 AD not 1882 BC?
Looks amazing!!.. but please please please fix those super elongated chariot models. Improved chariot mechanics / animations would also help, preventing that awkward horse side-way thrust when going around corners (@15:23). This is the golden age of chariots ... common CA, 10 years since Rome II, they deserve an upgrade!
@@ismaelhossam think the game would do alright, i like the look of it rn. but it’s is a good experiment for some features that could be in a large scaled game worth the 50£
Why on earth does CA persist on using the Rome 2 province system like this?? It worked great in Thrones of Britannia because the minor settlements were in close proximity to the province capital and serve a distinct function like farms or mines. The minor settlements are useless having only 3 buildings slots or 2 if there is a port.
@@CoffeeFiend1 Yes, absolutely! The critical hit system was the only good solution to the health pool system introduced with Rome 2, allowing units to actually kill models in a realistic fashion based on a random chance, so that models didn't consistently need 3 hits to die or something like that. But they ditched it...
in Troy (and Pharaoh) the minor settlement purpose is resource extraction. You are fighting over resource nodes, represented as camps/villages. Cities are for building armies and culture. This system actually makes more sense in this game than in Rome 2.
@@zrize101 I honestly think the biggest innovation in Thrones was that they actually made food a meaningful mechanic. Those conscript spearmen may not cost much but they near enough eat the same volume of food as these battle-hardened fully armoured heavy infantry and we can only afford to feed X amount of people...
You purposely screwed Shogun 2 and now I can't play it with mods anymore!! I won't buy your newer and boring games, if you keep treating your customers like crap, don't expect us to return in good terms.
this looks amazing so far, been ready for a Egypt TW for a long time. Hoping for a mythic version down the road too, Egypt is just RICH in mythology and would make such an awesome dlc.
Okay not gonna lie, we can see things changing in the video, this is making me even more confident in the greatness of Pharaoh! Congrats & keep on!! Ancient Egypt is back on the menu!! 🔥
Think there will be 4 more after release in the form of dlc, base game has around 4 or 5 with 3 playable, there aren't that many civs during this time period in the near east, dlcs will probably be assyrians, myceaneans, kassites, elamites and maybe phoenicians and playable sea peoples
@yakovlevskiy every modern TW game I can remember has started with 4 playable factions and added more in as time goes on. We know of at least 3 planned dlcs so if each one is a new faction then that will be at least 7.
@@samuelansin8307 I don't remember the last cut tw making money. Troy was generally given away for nothing from the release. I don't know who bought it after. Britain is generally considered the worst in the series. To do a simplified something... I do not know what they are hoping for. This is the way to failure and rejection of the historical setting
4:57 Benny Jokes aside, the game looks interesting and I feel like my wish came true finally having a bronze age Egypt focused game. Now, as other colleagues said here, I also hope this to be historical, unlike 3 Kingdoms or Troy. God Bless
I'm here to demand that CA address their breaking of Shogun 2. Not allowing me to play the game I payed for will not convince me to buy your neo-TW garbage.
Interesting that you'll be able to leave troops in forts, so your general won't be stuck sitting in a recently captured territory until things settle. Does seem like this is going to make it even more essential to have a runner general, who doesn't actually lead an army, but rather recruits them and shuffles garrisoned troops to the front line and rebellious territories, and brings new troops up to the main armies. Will be kind of nice to have and option not to disband your veteran troops of lower tiers/early game, but switch them to fort garrison troops, with reduced upkeep. Still feel convinced these are filmed on easy mode though.
@@dondrake8443 yeah m8 reminds me when i was watching Rome 2 pre alpha footage... ( we are way way pre alpha don't worry guys the game will look a lot better )
I love Total War series.. But i feel like the series need big reboot and rework .. Me personally i am already burned out its the same game as the last one.
back in MED you could build pretty much all the building in the game in any settlement, then during empire they limited this but major settlements still had like maybe 10 building slots
Limited building slots exist to make the players decisions what to built more impactfull. Now there is a need to specialize your settlements. Imo its much better then Rome 1 and Medieval 2 in which you can just spsm every building in every settlement.
YUSSSSS!!! I AM SO PLEASE TO SEE THIS! Medieval 2: Total War was a gem with much potential, I still frequent the modding community looking for Kemet mods, as I have a lower end computer and Total War: Rome 2 runs under auspicious circumstance. The fact that some smaller features are returning is lovely, and to see a diverse cast of characters satisfies Maat in me. The river feature is so interesting, especially as an aspect of travel, but also for warfare! There was a whole thing in a book I read, I can't remember the author, about how the Kemet had a robust af navy. May have read the wrong book or the wrong info so pls correct if wrong, but it tracks when you think about how in modern times with have smaller patrol and assault craft, that they would count things that we call rafts or even have things similar to canoes (river peeps have em everywhere.) Speaking of peeps, can we have them more represented? This was low key post apocalypse: only a few millennia ago, an ice age ENDING wipe a lot of us out, and the fact that the workforce is represented is amazing, I was overjoyed! But the people are just as important as a workforce as they are themselves, just as they are. I would love to know what Heru would have me protect, and what stands to suffer when the things are done, like razing a settlement. It was relevant, whole CULTURES imploded around conflicts to stop what nowadays we would call facists. I am so happy with what we have, but this? This is shaping up to be the best total war ever. I'll stop now before I make more suggestions, I am just elated at the progress this company has made as artists, and the whimsy of this video was just *chef's kiss* I am proud of you, keep going 😊
Looks nice, and for the people who are waiting for empire 2 or medieval 3. This is their secondary sort of lower budget team I'd imagine the bigger projects like those are left for the main team which is currently still trapped in the Warhammer dlc cycle. This game isn't responsible for the lack of empire and medieval total wars, it's Warhammer the one holding it back and I would imagine it's the next big title, this one is more in the scale of shogun, thrones of Britannia and other very single conflict focused games. Don't blame them for not getting the games you wanted think how much better it will be that the main studio is the one that will work on maybe the time periods you want. Good job secondary CA studios, using this game to try out new mechanics is a worthwhile risk, though please redo the UI it's very generic.
At first I was a little disappointed with what it seemed we were getting… however these play throughs and constant videos updating and showcasing are definitely grabbing my interest! More developers should do this 👌🏼
This is copy-paste of Troy,like you created mod for it.Both parts of Rome, Shogun and Medieval are work od the art, rest of the franchise are not that good.
Upper Egypt refers to the elevated(hence "upper") region in the South where the source of the Nile River passes first. Lower Egypt refers to the lowlands(hence "lower") region in the North where the Nile River forms into a delta and exits to the Mediterranean Sea.
Give us the mod manager back on Shogun 2 ffs, why are you actively sabotaging old games?????? You expect us to buy any of your newer games when you turn around years later and actively destroy fully functioning games/products.
The gods' UI is great, fits to the era and looks unique. The rest of the UI (battles, campaign, etc) however is horrifically ugly. You must change this.
I love the Dynamic of Garrison Forts because it adds a New Level or Raiding in the game, because in reality if a Bandit raids territory it's up to the Garrison to march out and take down that Raiding Party. Another key aspect I like is that they are using the Total War: TROY mechanic on this, which is honestly better than Rome 2 in case of Graphics and depth they can go in with the Creation aspect of the Story. Like the Trading of resources and picking and choosing what you trade is beyond beautiful compared to the standard trade agreement of the OG Total War games. It adds a bit of character to the Faction.
It looks really great. But in regards to sieges: will there ever be a Total War where the gates are more than one doorframe? Gods beware if there would be two doorframes or something like falling irons in between...
about the only thing you could do with the gates is mod the radius of projectile attack around the gatehouse with the boiling oil. than theoretically oil will come out both in front and back. but no... mantrap gates were not in medieval 2.
wow! this gameplay showcase really made me interested! I like how they improved on the god-worshiping mechanic! They are gods for each faction, and generals can be appointed to a god. I like the updated garrisons, and also the updated ladders! I like how the legendary lords can specialize in a particular army style, here chariots. I feel like there is some unit variety. The Nile water traversal looks nice! They also improved the formation. If the maps and the AI are good I think I'll give the game a try. Future DLC might be Babylon or Assyria. I would have liked Scythians, but it's the iron age, a few hundred years later.
I really love the mechanics and depth of campaign gameplay. But I don't like how the formations are basically perfectly aligned rectangles, how small the unit sizes are and how weightless and flat the battles feel. I mean Rome 2 is 10 years old at this point and (with DEI at least) it looks so much more realistic
These pre-release play throughs going over the mechanics and looks of the game should be the industry standard.
As wepp as game demos, whether it be pc or ps5 or xbox or switch
There are far better examples of not baiting consumers into buying a product by telling them what they're getting. This barely tells me much about how well the game's going to perform.

12:00 Archers will be straight murder in this game, seeing as how so few units are armoured. Forces are just going to melt under archer fire.
Reminds me of the joke about how Chariot Archers were "pay to win bullshit" of the time, the ancient equivalent of self-propelled rocket launcher
This is accurate since ranged units were quite OP in the Bronze Age. This is why there are so many stories of heroes dying to arrows from that period.
No offense mate, but those kopesh units have 80 armor and a shield. Unless the AP is higher than in Troy, and considering all units have a rise of around 30% HP, archers are going to have a really bad time with the medium and heavy infantry. On the other way, shielded slingers seem to be absent so far, and that might a big advantage for the bowmen.
Also very little cover in this terrain.
This showcase show basically Egyptian units that due to climate conditions use few armor, Hittite units uses a lot more armor.

u guys could put some soldiers carrying flags ;-; i miss that...
I am sure that they will never hear you
I think they are deaf and blind
They weren't holding flags in this time period. Makes no sense
But I do prefer if the unit icon is on a flag rather those green circles
@@liviuadrian1101but the cinematic tho :C
Cool Troy visual mod, now can you go back to your ambitious games such as Shogun 2 and fix its mod manager
12:45 and this is the HP(god mode) system since Warhammer games , which I hate it.Rome1,Medieval2,Empire,Shogun 2 forever !.Thank you and have a nice day
Ps.The music is really bad.This is Pharaoh time , not the Viking time
I can feel the Rome2 total war vibe returning and hopefully this game is amazing
Is anyone else not really Impressed with the map?
It might not be completely realistic, but I've always liked semi-colour coded units so you can more easily tell apart the units. That'd be amazing to see as atleast an option, besides that it all looks fun!
If they follow Troy design each faction have different color schemes, but this is very subtle mainly affect tunics and small details in armor.
Most of the total war games have colour coded units according to faction
I hate how the player is always set as green and the enemy red, I prefer rome 2 etc where you have banners and the battle colour is your factions colour
@@anthonyhoran3949ik it’s so much better. i can maybe get around the soldiers not holding banners or officers since i dunno if they actually did. but the flags are so nice it’s a missed opportunity
Full city sieges and establishing and garrisoning outlying forts? Well these are features I haven’t seen in a Total War game in a fair few years. Good job bringing them back.
Remember guys, DON'T preorder! Wait until this comes out before you decide to spend your savings on it.
❤❤❤
U know damn well I’m chooseing gods based on who looks the coolest
All hail, Anubis!
CA. Please give us the mod manager back on Shogun 2. It is broken since the latest update
Damn straight!
Thanks CA for ruining older titles. What you did with Shogun 2, messing up mods and the vanilla game to the extent some people still can't play the game without it shitting itself is disgusting. Modders and common players wrapping their heads around how to make a game that was perfectly fine for a decade work again is inexcusable, the lengths you went to, like changing file names just to make fixing your "fixes" even harder goes to show how little you respect your own customers and supporters.
Whatever your intentions were, these changes will make people move away from TW titles entirely or pirate older versions that still work so they can play the well optimized, mod supported games they love.
Your cheery on top is Pharaoh, which looks like a low effort cash grab where the pretty graphics and "we brought back mechanics nobody wanted removed :D" are the only things it has going for it. No improvements on age old requests like better collision mechanics or individual entity stats, things that were done better by older titles - fantastical as it may sound. Even calling this title a Saga like everyone knows it is and dropping the price to a less insulting amount wouldn't be enough to restore a shred of the legitimacy you have lost.
I wish you, CA, nothing good
cry more and dont buy total war we need no haters
@@mariusbehm9874 what you need are loot boxes and seasonal releases for their future titles
The outpost system in particular looks AMAZING: Being able to station recruited (non-garison) troops in the regions will make a huge difference.
Isn’t it called upper Egypt because of its higher elevation, and the rivers flow to the seas from high to low elevations.
Why are you intentionally sabotaging your older titles like Shogun 2? You removed multiplayer chat and just recently removed the workshop as well as changed file names to confuse and hinder modders even more. By ruining your older titles do you think it will make people buy your new barebone games?
Shiteaters will definetily buy this
@@yummyimpostor2722 this videos comment section really shows how they are the majority
The terms "Upper Egypt" and "Lower Egypt" are historical designations based on the flow of the Nile River rather than their geographic positions. The Nile River flows from south to north, so Upper Egypt refers to the southern part of the country, while Lower Egypt refers to the northern part.
We need chats and mods back, not a second Troy
BRING BACK SHOGUN 2 MOD MANAGER!
They made an announcement that they are working on it.
15:57 ooops, his legs clipped through the chariot
Fred Flintstone special
This is a nice patch update to the Tomb Kings
Khopesh units immune to flanking? How does that make sense or sound like a good idea?
They are not immune. It was a mechanic implemented in Troy. Some unit had extra dmg when attacking a unit from the flank or from behind. And there were some special/elite units that neglected that bonus dmg, but they still get lower morale when flanked
@@liviuadrian1101 So they’re immune to a feature that wasn’t good in the first place.
@@KellyBomayehow's it bad? I think I might hurt someone more if I stabbed him in the left rib rather than the shield. Right?
@@OceanSea12 thats already accounted for with weapon damage, and the shield's melee defense and armor. A shield only provides the defense/armor to the front. So units flanking already do more damage and have a higher hit chance. no need for the increase damage.
@@liviuadrian1101 It's a stupid mechanic imo, you take 2 units with the same stats, but one of them has the "better at flanking" trait, so now they do more damage when flanking? How does that make any sense?
How can a franchise like this step on the spot for so long without any major improvements?
Makes me nervous, I don't play the warhammer TW franchise but apparently they are really good. I just want a fuckin empire 2 or medieval 3 ffs
@Hitmannzz Even if they are announced, without a new engine and a fresh developmental approach, those games will continue to suffer from endemic issues that have plagued total war for the better part of 10 years
This game, much like Troy and 3 kingdoms, is most likely a test release for new advanced mechanics they want to test out before implementing in more popular TW genres.
Hopefully Medieval 3 is one of them.
@YDECOY8 you're being too generous, there really aren't any notable new mechanics, just repackaged older mechanics that existed in the oldest TW games
Legit, what happened over at CA the historical franchise IMO is in trouble like wtf legit just gets worse not funny for life long fans some of my greatest childhood memories were playing Napoleon with my dad and massive Anglophile abosest with that era. Very sad to grow to an adult and see my favarouite by far game franchise slowly die and morph into something TOTALLY different hahah
I'm not sold on this in the slightest and I've watched every pre-release video. They can hype up these mechanics as much as they want, but I'm not feeling like the gameplay will be all that unique or engaging.
This is a Troy reskin with a couple new features. Why was there more innovation from Rome 1 to Medieval 2 with the same map and different time period 17 years ago? Does CA not have more resources? Have game development tools not improved? What about game design?
WH, Troy and Pharaoh gameplay all feels the same. Even the voice acting has gotten worse. Why are British voice actors used in ancient Egypt? Didn't the British Empire colonize Egypt in 1882 AD not 1882 BC?
Why do the new games look like mobile games? I really like the campaign map, but the battles look like something out of RAID Shadow Legends.
Meanwhile I'm buying another Rome II expansion, because it's last good Total War...
How long do you think you can keep a company afloat by fleecing your customers? You keep bleeding your loyal fanbase in exchange for a quick buck.
Genuinely looks fun with the new mechanics. building wonders like pyramids to solidify your legitimacy would be cool tho
considering it took decades to make pyramids it probably wouldnt be realistic
Looks amazing!!.. but please please please fix those super elongated chariot models. Improved chariot mechanics / animations would also help, preventing that awkward horse side-way thrust when going around corners (@15:23). This is the golden age of chariots ... common CA, 10 years since Rome II, they deserve an upgrade!
This looks cool but at the same time also looks more and more as a overpriced expansion set of Troy without the mythic mode.
Awesome just very awesome I think this is going to he a great historical title
it will buy few people and they will stop making historical games at all.
@@yakovlevskiyyes this game will fail , but they will only stop making historical games in your dreams
@@ismaelhossam think the game would do alright, i like the look of it rn. but it’s is a good experiment for some features that could be in a large scaled game worth the 50£
Why on earth does CA persist on using the Rome 2 province system like this??
It worked great in Thrones of Britannia because the minor settlements were in close proximity to the province capital and serve a distinct function like farms or mines.
The minor settlements are useless having only 3 buildings slots or 2 if there is a port.
Another man who advocates the merits and innovations of Thrones of Britannia. Good day sir 🧐
@@CoffeeFiend1 Yes, absolutely!
The critical hit system was the only good solution to the health pool system introduced with Rome 2, allowing units to actually kill models in a realistic fashion based on a random chance, so that models didn't consistently need 3 hits to die or something like that.
But they ditched it...
in Troy (and Pharaoh) the minor settlement purpose is resource extraction. You are fighting over resource nodes, represented as camps/villages. Cities are for building armies and culture. This system actually makes more sense in this game than in Rome 2.
Because the province system gives more variety in city battles and strategic depth to province building.
@@zrize101 I honestly think the biggest innovation in Thrones was that they actually made food a meaningful mechanic. Those conscript spearmen may not cost much but they near enough eat the same volume of food as these battle-hardened fully armoured heavy infantry and we can only afford to feed X amount of people...
You purposely screwed Shogun 2 and now I can't play it with mods anymore!!
I won't buy your newer and boring games, if you keep treating your customers like crap, don't expect us to return in good terms.
Why not focus your resources into making a better Shogun Game.
This marketing strategy won me over. I love that you guys are pumping out lengthy videos of different gameplay instead of little teasers.
Love the detail of equipping the crowns!
this looks amazing so far, been ready for a Egypt TW for a long time. Hoping for a mythic version down the road too, Egypt is just RICH in mythology and would make such an awesome dlc.
It looks very good! Hope you guys will show us some other factions like the Hitites
Troy 2.0
I figure the collapse system will be showcased with the Hittites, since they're the ones who got really screwed over by it.
@resileaf9501 the acheans fell first and hardest imo
@@skylerslack12 Yeah but they're not in this game.
@@resileaf9501I'm confident they'll feature as DLC, whether they're one of the pre-order ones or will be later down the line I don't know
Okay not gonna lie, we can see things changing in the video, this is making me even more confident in the greatness of Pharaoh! Congrats & keep on!! Ancient Egypt is back on the menu!!
🔥
Man if only it included more civilizations
Think there will be 4 more after release in the form of dlc, base game has around 4 or 5 with 3 playable, there aren't that many civs during this time period in the near east, dlcs will probably be assyrians, myceaneans, kassites, elamites and maybe phoenicians and playable sea peoples
@@thirdworldgamer8717 wow! As many as four!? Unbelievable! Will these be any desert factions from Rome 2 DLC?
@@yakovlevskiy maybe libyans? They allied with the sea peoples to invade egypt
@yakovlevskiy every modern TW game I can remember has started with 4 playable factions and added more in as time goes on. We know of at least 3 planned dlcs so if each one is a new faction then that will be at least 7.
@@samuelansin8307 I don't remember the last cut tw making money. Troy was generally given away for nothing from the release. I don't know who bought it after. Britain is generally considered the worst in the series. To do a simplified something... I do not know what they are hoping for. This is the way to failure and rejection of the historical setting
4:57 Benny
Jokes aside, the game looks interesting and I feel like my wish came true finally having a bronze age Egypt focused game. Now, as other colleagues said here, I also hope this to be historical, unlike 3 Kingdoms or Troy.
God Bless
Why did you remove the chat and mod manager for Shogun 2? Reinstate it please!
I'm here to demand that CA address their breaking of Shogun 2. Not allowing me to play the game I payed for will not convince me to buy your neo-TW garbage.
I wonder... Is there anyhting special for her and her husband? Or will her marriage to Seti II. just be ignored?
10:45
Alternatively, 1:26
Interesting that you'll be able to leave troops in forts, so your general won't be stuck sitting in a recently captured territory until things settle. Does seem like this is going to make it even more essential to have a runner general, who doesn't actually lead an army, but rather recruits them and shuffles garrisoned troops to the front line and rebellious territories, and brings new troops up to the main armies. Will be kind of nice to have and option not to disband your veteran troops of lower tiers/early game, but switch them to fort garrison troops, with reduced upkeep.
Still feel convinced these are filmed on easy mode though.
most likely, the intent is for cool imagery and marketing rather then trying to appeal to difficulty.
Don't worry guys ,we are Pre Alpha and release is only 4 months away , the game will totally look different then, we promise
I mean...he only said that regarding "visual oddities", no need to make it sound like Cyberpunk.
@@dondrake8443 yeah m8 reminds me when i was watching Rome 2 pre alpha footage... ( we are way way pre alpha don't worry guys the game will look a lot better )
Great quality video! I really like the commentator’s vibe and the overall editing
I love Total War series.. But i feel like the series need big reboot and rework .. Me personally i am already burned out its the same game as the last one.
10:02 is that a reference to The Mummy????
I will never understand why there are only 4 building slots in minor settlements. Are they allergic to 6 or more building slots?
back in MED you could build pretty much all the building in the game in any settlement, then during empire they limited this but major settlements still had like maybe 10 building slots
Limited building slots exist to make the players decisions what to built more impactfull. Now there is a need to specialize your settlements. Imo its much better then Rome 1 and Medieval 2 in which you can just spsm every building in every settlement.
@@l.s.9095 I don't want to make decisions I just want to see my settlement full lf everything
@@communistcuphead2901 Some people would argue that making decisions is the main reason to play strategy games.
@l.s.9095 well those people are wrong
Love the writing for this and the narration of it!
Battles are just a blobby mess
YUSSSSS!!! I AM SO PLEASE TO SEE THIS! Medieval 2: Total War was a gem with much potential, I still frequent the modding community looking for Kemet mods, as I have a lower end computer and Total War: Rome 2 runs under auspicious circumstance. The fact that some smaller features are returning is lovely, and to see a diverse cast of characters satisfies Maat in me.
The river feature is so interesting, especially as an aspect of travel, but also for warfare! There was a whole thing in a book I read, I can't remember the author, about how the Kemet had a robust af navy. May have read the wrong book or the wrong info so pls correct if wrong, but it tracks when you think about how in modern times with have smaller patrol and assault craft, that they would count things that we call rafts or even have things similar to canoes (river peeps have em everywhere.)
Speaking of peeps, can we have them more represented? This was low key post apocalypse: only a few millennia ago, an ice age ENDING wipe a lot of us out, and the fact that the workforce is represented is amazing, I was overjoyed! But the people are just as important as a workforce as they are themselves, just as they are. I would love to know what Heru would have me protect, and what stands to suffer when the things are done, like razing a settlement.
It was relevant, whole CULTURES imploded around conflicts to stop what nowadays we would call facists. I am so happy with what we have, but this? This is shaping up to be the best total war ever.
I'll stop now before I make more suggestions, I am just elated at the progress this company has made as artists, and the whimsy of this video was just *chef's kiss*
I am proud of you, keep going 😊
I really hate troy mechanics, this looks like troy to me
Because that's exactly what it is. It's an asset flip.
14:57 Chariot driver: “It’s so scawy, I can’t watch!”
Bring the chat back to the old games!!
I want 8 player co-op as standard
This game.... actually looks way better than i expected, ok guys yyou got me hyped
Looks nice, and for the people who are waiting for empire 2 or medieval 3. This is their secondary sort of lower budget team I'd imagine the bigger projects like those are left for the main team which is currently still trapped in the Warhammer dlc cycle. This game isn't responsible for the lack of empire and medieval total wars, it's Warhammer the one holding it back and I would imagine it's the next big title, this one is more in the scale of shogun, thrones of Britannia and other very single conflict focused games. Don't blame them for not getting the games you wanted think how much better it will be that the main studio is the one that will work on maybe the time periods you want. Good job secondary CA studios, using this game to try out new mechanics is a worthwhile risk, though please redo the UI it's very generic.
At first I was a little disappointed with what it seemed we were getting… however these play throughs and constant videos updating and showcasing are definitely grabbing my interest! More developers should do this 👌🏼
Egypt after the Pharaoh dies be like :BLOOD,VIOLENCE,CIVIL WAR.
This is copy-paste of Troy,like you created mod for it.Both parts of Rome, Shogun and Medieval are work od the art, rest of the franchise are not that good.
This 2nd Tomb Kings dlc looks great
Bro looks like a troy reskin, no love givin
Upper Egypt refers to the elevated(hence "upper") region in the South where the source of the Nile River passes first. Lower Egypt refers to the lowlands(hence "lower") region in the North where the Nile River forms into a delta and exits to the Mediterranean Sea.
Give us the mod manager back on Shogun 2 ffs, why are you actively sabotaging old games?????? You expect us to buy any of your newer games when you turn around years later and actively destroy fully functioning games/products.
I'm surprised that Creative Assembly kept diplomacy in this game after stating that having an unmonitored chat is too dangerous for the players.
The gods' UI is great, fits to the era and looks unique.
The rest of the UI (battles, campaign, etc) however is horrifically ugly.
You must change this.
I love the Dynamic of Garrison Forts because it adds a New Level or Raiding in the game, because in reality if a Bandit raids territory it's up to the Garrison to march out and take down that Raiding Party.
Another key aspect I like is that they are using the Total War: TROY mechanic on this, which is honestly better than Rome 2 in case of Graphics and depth they can go in with the Creation aspect of the Story. Like the Trading of resources and picking and choosing what you trade is beyond beautiful compared to the standard trade agreement of the OG Total War games. It adds a bit of character to the Faction.
It looks really great. But in regards to sieges: will there ever be a Total War where the gates are more than one doorframe? Gods beware if there would be two doorframes or something like falling irons in between...
I might be wrong I haven't played Med 2 in years but I remember that being a thing back then
@@communistcuphead2901 It was only visually so, really. Bash in the first frame and the whole thing opens.
@spikem5950 sounds about right
It feels like that would just make ramming longer and not add much to the game that couldn't be represented by higher HP gates
about the only thing you could do with the gates is mod the radius of projectile attack around the gatehouse with the boiling oil. than theoretically oil will come out both in front and back.
but no... mantrap gates were not in medieval 2.
really liked troy so looking forward to this!
wow! this gameplay showcase really made me interested! I like how they improved on the god-worshiping mechanic! They are gods for each faction, and generals can be appointed to a god. I like the updated garrisons, and also the updated ladders! I like how the legendary lords can specialize in a particular army style, here chariots. I feel like there is some unit variety. The Nile water traversal looks nice! They also improved the formation. If the maps and the AI are good I think I'll give the game a try. Future DLC might be Babylon or Assyria. I would have liked Scythians, but it's the iron age, a few hundred years later.
ВЕРНИТЕ МЕНЕДЖЕР МОДОВ SHOGUN 2!

nope
no it look like troy clone, shitty\
no, it doesn't

It's look like Troy.

Almost like there's another Bronze Age TW game out there
Why do this look worse than Napoleon 2010? Is this release in 2008 with empire? Cuz it looks like it!!!
BRING BACK MODDED SHOGUN 2!
I really love the mechanics and depth of campaign gameplay.
But I don't like how the formations are basically perfectly aligned rectangles, how small the unit sizes are
and how weightless and flat the battles feel.
I mean Rome 2 is 10 years old at this point and (with DEI at least) it looks so much more realistic
