Total War: Pharaoh

Hopes:
>Expanded city planning a la Medieval 2, or at the very least Shogun 2
>Actual population mechanics
>Family trees
>Slower, heavier, historical-ish combat

Fears:
>Blood DLC
>Hero units
>No leaderless armies (it makes sense for giant stacks, it does not for a single unit)
>Health bars
>overreliance on mythological shit instead of romanticized history
>avoidant gameplay (kill general to rout army vs kill army to rout general)

          There's a Netflix "documentary" that's just a bunch of unironic biggoted black people saying cleopatra was black and they're telling any egyptian they're racists and colonizers or some shit.

                normies don't know about it so publishers refuse to feature it, and in turn that means afrocentrists won't focus on it because they either don't know about it themselves and/or it's not appealing enough as a result of it's obscurity .,

                West African traditional religion survives in secret to this day, and many people each year are murdered in secret rituals so the wealthy and powerful can use their blood and body parts to (they believe) cast black magic spells. Look up "Adam" (torso found in London) and the Ibadan Forest of Horror.

                That's either Mansa Musa or a representation of the mythological king Prester John. It's also clearly a medieval creation. Get better bait fool.

                Also, nobody is saying that there weren't black pharoahs at some point. There were:
                https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty-fifth_Dynasty_of_Egypt

                But the majority of Egyptian dynasties were of the native population of proto-Semitic proto-Arab peoples who would look fairly similar to modern Egyptians. As for the Ptolemies, they were descended from a Greek general of Alexander and practiced consanguinity.

    Wouldn't work as just Egyptians, it would have to incorporate the whole of the Eastern Mediterranean and Mesopotamia in the Bronze Age. The Egyptians just weren't a very warlike or expansionist people. Their wars were mostly just defending their own borders against Levantine and Nubian incursions. Its was only really in the New Kingdom they launched some campaigns up into the Levant to fight the Hittites.

      o.g. egyptians are all way dead. they're all just a mix of various Black person mutt races now, sadly. it makes me sad when a beautiful race dies. the world needs more beauty, not less. and it certainly doesn't need more mixed brown fricking mutts.

        I actually enjoyed Empire quite a lot, and Shogun 2 refined it all to almlst perfection. Then they utterly shit the bed with Rome 2 and have never been able to get things right since. I would love to know what happened, did half the team leave or something?

        The problem is that historical realism is boring and restrictive to game design and has literally no up-side unless you specifically get hard over historical realism. I don't necessarily care about Warhammer in particular, I'm just very glad TW has been unshackled from the boring tedium of realism.

          There's a lot of Stuff in Atilla I still don't like, mods can get tweak to almost being there, but it suffers to many issues of being a new engine game. The 1212Ad mod is good, had a lot of fun with it, but its still hamstrung being built off Atilla and it not being mod friendly.
          Cheap ranged units are just far too powerful, shit settlement slots and garrison system, and the siege maps are wank.

      If you wanna talk about history most people don't care about, then talk about Mesopotamia, India and Southeast Asia, Mesoamerica, the Andes, West Africa, or any area that didn't have urban civilizations.

      And Troy was great, only not that polished due to its lower budget. The mechanics it introduced however was great, like the resource system, the mount and blade style unit upgrades, units being able to switch weapons, and it also had one of the most beautiful campaign maps and battle maps in the series. Its only real flaw was sieges due to the lack of siege engines.

        Good concepts but the engine was breaking down, collision was awful. And this will be another budget title.

          I somewhat liked how responsibe each unit was at least. If you want collision issues see wh3. Fricking units still have goddamn pathfinding issues a year later and sometimes cannot shoot despite havinf a clear los just because the enemy unit is hiding behind a small rock.

          Is that so hard to ask?

          It was like 3K where there were a ton of good ideas that didn't get balanced well, fleshed out enough, or were broken due to bugs. Hopefully they decide not to neglect it again post launch like they do with everything except Warhammer, but I really doubt it.

    The campaign options are the only thing I find interesting about it, but to their credit I find it VERY interesting. If I had campaign options in 3K I would probably put another 400 hours into it.

    >Seti II
    A son of King Merneptah and chosen heir to Egypt's throne, the crown prince's sole rule is immediately challenged in his first year. He had a firm grasp on Lower Egypt with Men-Nefer (Memphis) as his capital.
    >Amenmesse
    The challenger to the throne is the probable half-brother of Seti, usurping his rule over Upper Egypt, eventually securing Waset (Thebes).
    >Tausret
    The royal wife of Seti, although possibly also his half-sister and the sister of Amenmesse as well. Following the death of her husband she became queen-regent to the young King Siptah. It is said that the Trojan War occurred during her reign.
    >Bay
    Serving the Egyptian religious and political spheres for a long career despite his commoner origin, this Syrian-born scribe would become an invaluable asset to Seti during his reign. After the king's passing he played a crucial role in ensuring Siptah, the son of Amenmesse and a Canaanite concubine, took the throne with Tausret as regent. Such was his influence at this point that he was slated to become the first commoner to have a tomb in the Valley of Kings, and tradition suggests he seduced Tausret into giving him access to Egypt's treasury, but eventually his audacity was no longer tolerated and Bay was executed on the king's orders.
    >Irsu
    A Shasu chief who leads the Canaanite territories of Egypt. An alliance was formed with Tausret during her reign allowing his de facto rule in Canaanite territories, but his forces openly plundered and raided into Egypt proper following her death.
    >Kurunta
    This prince was granted rule over Tarḫuntašša, once briefly the empire's capital. But he, like his namesake god, is not content with mere fiefdom and has begun to call himself "Great King" in light of his successful conquests.
    >Šuppiluliuma II
    The final king of the Hittite New Kingdom who fought against Tarḫuntašša, Alashiya, and the Sea Peoples. Notable for leading the earliest recorded naval battle.

                It's irrelevant since a person of the same phenotype can have different skin color if he has lived all of his life under the sun.
                It also doesn't accurately get the color of both parents since one of them could be mixed, it's merely a way to gather what % of DNA someone had, it isn't an accurate representation of someone's characteristics.
                Pic related is another depiction of him made by his contemporaries, not an AI on reddit.
                You can clearly see he has no Black person facial features, but his skin is undeniably darker than you try to claim.
                Go look at fishermen in southern europe that lived all their life under the sun, you will see they are darker than some arabs even if they are part of the meme R1b haplogroup from hyperborea n shiet.

            Rome 2 started the province shit. Empire changed the settlement system but I quite liked it, the buildings were just spread about the region instead of being focused in the one region capital. Farmlands and industry centers being in separate areas and new towns being developed how you liked worked really well an make areas feel like real places. Being able to garrison ports to protect or raze then and potentially cut off huge trading profits was a great idea
