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.
@@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.
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?
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
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.
