I'm QUITE excited to finally make Total War a new main on the channel. Total War: Pharaoh looks and feels great, and hopefully you'll enjoy the new series :) If you do PLEASE help support the channel by liking the video and commenting! ▶BECOME A MEMBER: ua-cam.com/users/HForHavocjoin ▶TWITCH: www.twitch.tv/hforhavoc ▶DISCORD: discord.gg/mM7nGWR
Holy cow HAVOC is back?! Dude what a throwback I remember watching you ALLLLLL the way back in the Attila days. So awesome to hear you're liking the update too!
Interested to watch this playthrough! I just got Pharaoh yesterday and started a Ramesses playthrough, so I’ll watch this as I go! Might learn a thing or two :) Great video!
Thank you for thsi, I didn't play Pharoah before dynsties and you are teaching me things. On the first battle, I was able to overcome the first two armies on the west but when I pushed onto the ajoining settlement was swamped. I actually thought they were the same enemy. I do liek your plan and will try my own version of it now. I'm a TW veteran but there are a lot of new mechanics in this one.
Had a similar loss against one crap stack and four generals. They didn't buckle, they didn't die, they ate my infantry for breakfast. What did some damage was point blank direct arrow fire (had a pretty range focused army) but when I moved my archers to try that my army was already wrecked.
@@wizstorm172 I hear ya. I had to downgrade from veteran difficulty to hard to get deep into my 1st campaign. Vanilla Pharoah on veteran was pretty easy. I'm a fan of the increased difficulty.
Babylon definitely has a precarious start. If your playing on max level battle difficulty even Akkadian Farmers can beat up your higher tier infantry. I recommend at least 4 Siulu slingers and doing your best to get your ranged units on the flanks with direct fire on when possible. Try to subdue Uruk early for stone so you can get access to the Akadian Militia Spears for their higher melee defense.
Haven't even played this game, but sounds so familiar from Rome II mods I have tried. And yes the difficulty has been only on like normal. So not a fan at all of that happening and especially on the lower difficulties.
Ya you can adjust the UI size on the settings! I don’t like my UI to take up a lot of space, but I could probably adjust it a bit larger for the purpose of the audience
@@HForHavoc Id appreciate it. I don’t need it much larger just… Like a couple hairs. I just wanna be able to read stuff lmao. I hate getting older. Sorry to bother you
I think you didn’t kill their generals because you didn’t have enough armor piercing… maybe I saw wrong though. I thought you attacked the generals with mostly spear units?
What kind of computer would you recommend to play this game smoothly with High settings and decent end turn times? I've learned their Recommended Hardware list is fairly useless.
So I have a beefy PC I'll say that right now. i7-12700KF, RTX 3090 and 32gb ram on an SSD. I'm playing everything on Ultra outside of shadows and some minor setting tweaks and having no issues. I'd say anything in the last 2 generations of CPUs, and probably a solid GPU and you'll be fine!
@@HForHavoc Thanks. I currently have an AMD 5600 CPU with a 6650XT GPU and 32GB of memory. I'm looking at upgrading when the next generation of AMD motherboards comes out. Hopefully in a couple of months. I don't think it makes sense to get the current generation of MBs. You dodged a bullet by having an Intel 12th Gen and not a 13 or 14, which are having serious issues. :)
@@Trifler500 I have an i5 9400f and a GTX1660, 16gb RAM and I play comfortably on high settings/ extreme unit size at 1440p. So I think you should be good, especially for 1080p.
@@Nutguzzler69 I tried the game a 2 months after it released. Played a total of 3 hours. Hated it. Downloaded the new update that was free for those that owned the game already. Played 8 hours in 1 day. Game wasn't that great until the update. Now it feels like a full-fledged TW title.
Lol an 11 y/o with a beard? I hate when games have such a high level of detail cut corners because it makes it all the more obvious. They couldn’t have had a generic child avatar to represent underage characters like they’ve had in every other game with a family tree? And STILL the building icons aren’t progressive and it’s hard to tell at a glance what level a building is at. I miss how the building UI looked in Shogun 2 and back. Heck, even Attila broke shortly with the trend and illustrated the buildings again. The game seems good otherwise but these pet peeves really annoy me.

You were my first subscription on UA-cam in 2017 because of total war.
No way!! That's WILD. Well thank you for doing that back in the day, really appreciate it :)
I've never seen someone accept a defeat in a Total War game and just move on from there 😂Only save scumming!
I admire your attitude.
Holy cow HAVOC is back?! Dude what a throwback I remember watching you ALLLLLL the way back in the Attila days. So awesome to hear you're liking the update too!
I love playing as the small factions, it gives a totally different perspective dealing with the bigger and stronger factions.
Havent bought a historical TW in years have been down the modding wormhole for years but this actually looks halfway decent! Great vid man!
Interested to watch this playthrough! I just got Pharaoh yesterday and started a Ramesses playthrough, so I’ll watch this as I go! Might learn a thing or two :) Great video!
Check Sinai native units those iv tier axe warriors are great
This will be my go to TW game for awhile. Glad to see someone covering it.
Going to have a go with this start also.
Hey Kris. Hope you are doing well.
Hopefully we both do great lol!

Very nice, happy that you're playing along! You'll really enjoy this title I think
Just found ur chanel never played total war but gna try since am a civ fan and this series looks awsome
Yay! Total war is back bro!
Had a similar loss against one crap stack and four generals. They didn't buckle, they didn't die, they ate my infantry for breakfast. What did some damage was point blank direct arrow fire (had a pretty range focused army) but when I moved my archers to try that my army was already wrecked.
The Bronze Age Total war was the TW I didn’t know I wanted lol. Love the game so far
*offers a hecatomb for the algorithm gods*
VERY much appreciated!
I hope your channel grows. I want to see more lets plays of total war and legend of total war wont play the new ones lol
done three tries at babylon and got my ass kicked every time the neighbours just send tones of armies out of nowhere so quickly

lol dude shouldve auto resolved that first fight
Ye it's all good tho lol
By the rivers of BABYLON !
Thanks
WE ARE SOOOO BACK 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🧊🔥👑🔥🔥🗣️
Well that defeat was frustrating. Is the general might to be like the 3K/WH generals?
No not at all, it’s definitely 💯 old school total war style
Your gameplay looks smooth, what's your pc's specs?
You lost a recruitment slot due to the commandment you issued at Babylon.
6:16 Oh my, is this a river? This is pathetic!
@@Takete-i2h there are different types of rivers in the game. This one is just low stream river. There are fast rivers as well
YEAH
I never expected to like this game 😅
"bablylon" in the thumbnail 🥲
@@Turaga that’s how it’s spelled in ancient bablyonian
How do you do this smooth camera pan effect? Love the vibe
It’s in control I think, just lower cinematic smoothing all the way to the left. Don’t know if you still need this but there you go 👍
How did you make your camera so smooth? I tried using debug camer option but it doesn't work like that...
Is there any way to make the format bigger? Like, the icons are all kinda small and hard to see (I have bad eyes tho so may be me(
You can change the size of the ui in the settings

Nah not a bother at all!

That’s a great point actually. I’ll have to pay attention to that in the future
10:57 thats discouraging why would you want and expect it to be easy. thats not fun
Bc it was a simple battle and I had terrain to my advantage. Don't read too much into it lol
@@HForHavoc ahhh truee my bad

@@naca14 Thank you. That's very helpful!
Everyone playing babylon lmao
It's the fan favorite without a doubt!
you sound like Danny Mcbride! awesome haha
Why can’t I find any gameplay anywhere why does everyone just dislike this game?

what's a boyo
@@littleboypee895 just another way to say boy lol
So how long before we see the Atlantis mod?
Oh yeah, and the Native American invasion mod?
