FULL BREAKDOWN of the Dynasties Update Q&A for Total War: Pharaoh! 

Fingers crossed man!!

Unless you are Assyria. One of the reasons they wiped the floor with the whole Near East a century or two after the game ends is because they basically invented the use of organized cavalry.

I feel like the appetite was always there, CA has just been neglecting it.

Same here man. You have a badass username btw.

@@happycompy thank you 😁

It doesn't sound silly at all! I'm thrilled that you find joy in the videos. I know it's "cliche" but Your support fuels my passion for creating more content. Your comment literally made my day man. Thank you.

I think they are still trying to tone it down even more. That complaint really hasn't gone away.

@@2009VandA they just should leave this as option in campaign settings, if u want agressive ai or not, i prefer yes, cuz WH3 its really easy game and AI is completely stupid, like i really wants better and more smart ai in all TW games, but well thats not gonna happen propably, atleast theres awesome mods for ai like hecleas ai mod.

Thank you, fish!

Hell yeah! Seti was my first campaign completion for Pharaoh. I really enjoyed his playstyle.

And I finished two weeks ago with Ramses III. It was fun to become the pharaoh and then conquer and enslave the whole map. Now I'm excited to see how Troia plays out in Pharaoh.

@@happycompy cool!

@@primaitaliafascismo753 thats the spirit! lol SLAAVES

I finished my campaign a while ago too as Kurunta.

@@huantruonginh2946 yeah, AI especially has stagnated hard.

Yeah these dev diaries are actually getting me hyped about PHARAOH, which I wouldn't have previously thought possible! I really like the blend of going over the history alongside the faction mechanics, you can really feel like passion and inspiration from the Sofia devs. This is the first time in a long time that I'm actually excited about historical TW.

@@pizzaman6784 Sofia shold make The next historical total war

@@mariusbehm9874 The Throne of Creative Assembly should pass from the "House of Horsham" to the "House of Sofia" lol

@@pizzaman6784 yes or the next fantasy titel a full total war with budget and sofia and we have a good title

Nailed it but I disagree on the AI Aggressiveness. I personally enjoy it. Pre-patch they were so passive that it sucked all the fun out of the game, especially when the Sea People showed up.

🙏

No problem!

Yes. Kidna crazy that we got Iron Age Cavalry, horse archers and INCEST but Amazons or even female generals for Tausret's faction was beyond the pale 😂. RIP dommy mommy Penthesilea.

That's awesome man. It sounds like a dream come true for you.

They did mention that they were going to address the clone generals issue in a previous Q&A yeah. I agree, it's a problem.

@@happycompy Great. Thank you mate! :)

Agreed. I feel like if they had the same resources as Horsham they would embarrass the shit out of them with what they would put out.

@@ReptilicusTV we tearing down its walls 🔥🧱 this time or nah?

Glad it was helpful!

Rome 2 never released as chapters, where do you get that from?

They said they will add all the kill animations that currently only generals have to all regular units/soldiers too, so everybody will have kill animations then.

The cynic in me thought this too, but you still have to buy the original Pharaoh (and see its reviews) to play Dynasties so they aren't really getting around it.

@@happycompy Is Pharaoh going to get rebranded as Dynasties on Steam like Rome II and the Empreror edition? Or separate game on Steam?

@@ZubiForce OG Pharaoh will stay in your library as "Total War: Pharaoh." If you buy "Total War: Pharaoh" there will be a separate "game" in your library called "Total War: Pharaoh Dynasties." Imagine it like you buying Rome 2, and then in your library you get Rome 2 and Attila.

@@happycompy So weird man😆

@@ZubiForce Agreed. Not sure why it couldn't just be in the main menu?

You can rename your generals so if you make your sons generals I guess you can rename them, daughters probably can't be renamed. Renaming factions currently isn't possible unless you make a mod for it.

They said they will add matched combat killing animations to all units with this update.

@@lp4514 yea propably stealed from this mod x D But yeah thats cool, but would be even cooler that they will add diomedes, aeneas and menelaos as playable minor factions, and all units from troy, ofc this normal ones not cyclops etc. And more major faction with their unical mechanics, for example Thrace should get one with Rhesus.

@@SuiSideex That mod just used the animations that were already in Pharaoh but so far are only used by generals and gave them to all units and he imported some animations from Troy, but he didn't create any new animations himself. And for the other factions you want or units from Troy, CA won't add them at this point, they said there won't be any new content and even if the update does well and they decide to do 1-2 more DLC's it will be new content and not minor stuff like make Rhesus a major faction or more units from Troy. The only way to get both is either you find a modder that does it for you or learn modding yourself, which actually isn't that difficult and once you can do it it's great to be able to make all the changes you want yourself (at least if it's easy stuff like what you want, some things are more complicated). Also major factions don't really have any special unique mechanics that minor factions don't have, both will play more or less the same.

No reason to buy it now. Wait till the update drops to see if it's worth grabbing 👍. Thanks for watching man!!

No :(

CA loves their standalone expansions that don't backport the improvements to the base game... I'm looking at you Napoleon and Attila.

Everything is free. You just have to own the base game.

@@SuiSideex I mean units they already have on the map.

In Pharaoh legendary characters aren't really stronger than regular generals. And I also think they probably had plans to add a few female generals (they chose Tausret as a faction so that shows they're open to that idea) but probably didn't have the time or money.

Good to hear! I must've heard wrong then.

Well It was at the launch of immortal empires but they have since adjusted it over time with patches it’s not perfect some like it at its current point some don’t it’s a frequent hot topic to see discussions on.

Definitely play one of the minor factions in the corner of the map like Memnon down south or the Elamites to the east so you can learn the game relatively safely.

Interesting. This sounds like one of those situations where it's great to be wrong lol. I enjoy a cutthroat, aggressive AI much more than a passive one, so I'm glad to hear WH3 has it.

@happycompy eh, this was stupid cutthroat. Like if the AI knew of your existence, it would declare war on you from the opposite side of the map and travel through enemy territory just to get you.

loading time? Or End Turn times?

@@happycompy loading times

@@markgonzales8778 They're not too long for me, but I have an SSD.

@@happycompy well my other total war games load fine just this one
