Total War: PHARAOH - Suppiluliuma Gameplay Showcase 

If there's one good thing I can say about Pharoah, the soundtrack is a killer. Give that composer a raise please.

What can I say, Suppiluliuma is probably my favourite so far, even more than Irsu and Amanesse

Suppiluliuma and the hittites looks really fun, like the rest of the game overall. I know there will be DLCs, and like a few others, it would be nice to have the map expanded to Babylon and the sumerian lands, as well as expanding the existing factions with more hatti leaders and a few different cultures. Overall excited for this game, shame to see the other fans drown up the hype.

I don't understand all the hate, these mechanics look pretty fun. I just hope for a more slowed paced battle gameplay, and maybe CA can add this as a campaign option in addition to all the new config they added in this game.

I've always liked the idea of not just having Empire Building as a goal for all factions in all Total war games, but other goals as well. Like surviving a civilization-ending challenge! I also like defensive factions, so I think my first campaign will be with this guy 😊

Holly, that gameplay was so beautiful I shed a tear for its beauty. The Hittite - "Mesopotamiam" melancholic chants made all this feel all the more real, the lighting, the mechanics, the spear fights... This character seems to embody this game's theme SO PERFECTLY! Congrats Sofia! I am still waiting to buy the game on physical edition on December, but I will enjoy this game as a glorious Bronze Age master piece like there hasn't been one ever!

I prefer historical TW over Warhammer TW, but I'm not a purist about what historical TWs have to be. I like the blending of historical strategy/tactics with leader-based approach of each faction and an ominous societal collapse / invasion that echoes Chaos from WH. My biggest concern is replayability. Even with several leaders per faction I feel like replayability will be limited and my enthusiasm is further dulled when I know CA is going to fill in the rest of the map with DLC factions. I think we should have gotten at least 2 more factions just to give some variety.

Imagine getting defeated by a king whose name you can't even pronounce. Anyway, I can imagine the backstory of the group of Sea Peoples sailing for the Hittite Empire. After burning Troy to the ground, Agamenon and Friends learned too late that they not only screwed up commerce in the Mediterranean for everyone including themselves but the plunder they took from the city were not enough to keep their palaces and fortresses from falling into disrepair and their societies from collapsing. Wishing to save what's left of their civilization, they (or rather their descendants) decided to sail for the rest of Asia Minor...

I just hope we don’t have to wait a year for the Blood and Gore dlc

I like what I see, iam cautious with this one but every showcase makes me think it will be a great game. The campaign map looks gorgeous, the campaign gameplay seems multilayered, the sense of collapse and invasion seems immersive.. Not totally sold on the battles though..

I’ve got to say that this game is looking more and more engaging every update I see. A year ago, I couldn’t have been more uninterested about the focus and setting of this game. Now,if only we can hope of them bridging the campaign maps of both Troy and Pharaoh like we’ve seen with Warhammer….

Suppiluliuma is bascially the Hector of the Hittitie Empire. He is a noble King, a hero of the ages. He's a VERY good case as to why we need more Mesopotamian Civilisations in this game!

Man I wish they added Mycenians and Assyrians aswell!

I am very intrigued by how little we have actually seen so far of the Sea People. This is just pure tinfoil-hattery, but what if they can be unlocked as a playable faction after winning the game?

There's a lot of material and different mechanics to go through! So many systems to play with~ I'm really looking forward to seeing what a campaign in the full collapse with invasions will be like.

Looks excellent, can't wait!

"I did not put in the time and effort to properly pronounce this guy's name just to lose now!"

Looking better with every video coming out. Thank you forr communicating all the changes. I will wait to see the state of the game at release and will then decide if i buy. A expansion for greece or babylon etc would make it even easier for a lot of people to buy i think.

Very Interesting. I like the Hittite

10:45 Not a huge fan of the enemy buffs basically just amounting to higher combat stats. I do like the effects on morale and replenishment, but just slapping on an additional 30/40/50% to melee Atk/Def or charge bonus is exactly the kind of stuff I don't enjoy in the higher combat difficulties of previous TW games.

campaign looks like masterpiece. Especially lategame looks like a good challenge for players

FiNlly the last chapter of the hit game, hat simulator 🤤🎩

Looking good! Will there be a toggle for "bright" vs. "realistic" unit colours, like in Rome Remastered? The muted colours of more recent Total War games look great up close, but I miss being able to tell units apart at a glance from a distance.

Hey there is no excuse for the bad stuff CA did recently for sure. This game looks so well done. I don't get all the negativity people have, I mean credit where credit is due.

Pharaoh seems like an interesting Total War. But the price of the game is just too high.

Really liking all these additional gameplay elements. Now, if only you could assure everyone of your future plans for the game. Namely the extra civs and map expansions.

Guys as a history total war player I think sagas is the future for us

08:30 So the IA had a great oportunity to attack the rear of the player's army and it just try to force it way through the player's army to join the army inside the city. Yeah...

The mechanics seem very detailed which is great. If post-release reviews and videos are positive I am definitely going to play Suppiluliuma.

It seems kinda cool, but I just cant warm upto these choose your bonus mana mecanics, plus spec leaders instead of growing leaders.

I love it, I love Ancient History and I love the versatility of Modding for The game here

If you never reach bronze india or greece, or past to the carpathians, and alps, or down to the gulf of persia with the twin river nations, then you will have made a game with a lot of my favorite total war features and then some! Your studio has decided to take an ambitious project and I believe this gambit will make it! Just, CA, dont make the same mistake again. Let Sofia playtest for a WHILE before you release. Because if they do, i think, CA, as in the people who would be relevant, that you will see a more stable and better designed Rome 2 spiritual successor. I hope you can add those regions, but as it is? I am just happy to finally see someone bring the bronze age to life ❤

Šuppiluliuma, the defender. Under his reign, Hatti shall excel itself in greatness.

You guys should consider making a remaster of the Empire Total War!

Ok now I'm excited for this game this is a far more complex campaign level actions

Actually a good showcase guys, cheers!

I really like the weather system on this game looks awesome.

Dear CA, I have to say that the wittiness of the commentator and the soundtrack are always to the highest standards. I smiled and chuckled as some of the puns and jokes he cracks are quite good. Dear CA, I am not upset with you trying to bring this game to the community now. It's noble purpose to try and experiment - I am sure Pharaoh will have its fan base, don't doubt it. However, IF next you will start working on an Empire 2 or Medieval 3, I trust you'll regain so much lost ground in the eyes of many. Please spend as much time you like on testing, bug removal so that when it gets released it will not have the issues of others in the past. Looking forward to your next product of love, cheers!

It is nice to see a game that deals with the Bronze Age collapse. I see some people getting upset about some of the creative liberties that the devs took, but in some of these cases we really don’t have any good sources of the matter. Unit composition or tactics for example: I know of no Hittite or Akkadian text that really give a good overview. And if you really look in depth at other pre modern time periods our sources might be better, but far from painting a clear picture either. Look at the Early imperial roman army: every one knows a century has 80 soldiers, a cohort 560 and a legion 5600 +/- auxiliaries and losses. But these numbers come from Vegetius who wrote at the end of the 4. century and if we take a look at the consonants tablets or barrack layouts it really seems to vary. This is why reconstructions are never going to be perfect, if it is a picture in a history book or a game, there always will be the point where a decision will have to be made in a situation where no expert would back it. Sure, there is a point where historical inaccuracies will destroy your immersion, but I don’t see that anywhere here. If the game turns out to be fun, I am sure that everyone will look past some slight inaccuracies or creative liberties that were taken. Rome 1 was a great game and the Ptolemaic dynasty was riding around in a thousand year old chariots.

I saw this and was reminded of Sid Meier's Pharaoh. There's no resemblance so it's not something I'm interested in, thanks for the preview.

What are the 4 DLCs?

Suppi is my favourite character!

Well... I do like his hat. Reminds me a bit of the ones Chaos Dwarfs wear.

Egyptians were White, by the way.

They fixed the flags in battle❤❤

Sooo hyped for this!!! Great work so far

After playing warhammer 2 and 3 kingdoms it's so hard to go back to when rome 2. Keep up the good work. Would love some breakthroughs on the game engine.

Is Suppi 150% more diplomacy then?

It is almost 2024, and the Blood DLC is still not included in the base game.

The campaign gameplay is looking super fiiiine. I need to check out more of the battles, the only thing I am a bit unsure about. Also, I really like the narrator of these gameplay showcases, he is doing a good job!

Just got this game and i am actually really enjoying it, granted i did not play three kingdoms or Troy, and I prefer historical to Warhammer, so last one I played seriously was Atilla but this one is amazing so far. Lots of great mechanics, focus on formation fighting, capture points, items, mounts. It would be so great to see more content added from the other bigger empires in the Region during the time, hopefully it happens. Great job with it guys, as a fellow 3D Artist and creative I can really feel the love that went into this, its my favorite total war since Rome 2 and Shogun 2.

16:35 What king did this Kurunta kill before?

Amazing!!! I am waiting for it

I’m really exited for this! I think they’ve done a fantastic job, look forward to hearing their DLC roadmap for expansion

Game actually looks really good, shame about the pricetag

This looks great! if the game plays like it looks at will be amazing

This game is a love letter to my childhood ❤

Congrats!!! You guys are doing a great job!!! Keep going

I'm glad it has matched combat.

One thing that total war could do is make a DLC that could connect total war pharaoh And Troy so you can have them fight each other in custom battle matches

They removed agents from the game?

mh that chariot charge seems completely off, just stopped by an infantry unit. This was already an issue in TWW2 at some point

Will there be something like mortal empires combining Troy and Pharaoh because this game looks like an expansion for Troy. I think what CA must do is to limit camera height so people will see th3e units fighting like the old era games when TW was at its prime. Battles should be slower and unit interactions must be more diverse.

no blood? are you also charging $10 for it?

Looks awesome,hyped

I was originally set against picking up the game, but it is looking a lot better than the first looks. It might be worth picking up on steam once it hits 50% off.

I am positively surprised by all these cool new features😊

Just can't get interested in it, might be the first title I would pass for almost two decades since TW: Rome, sadly.

dear CA Sophia, playing Hittites with the Egyptians UI is really an eyesore. the Hittites and the Canaanites are different civilizations and should have their own UI in both campaign and battle. plus those blue text boxes announcing natural disasters are really bad. I would like to see a movie or at least a thematic 2D graphic

I bet u feel something weird every time u said that supilulimaa name.. supilulilulima wew

So, Chariots still can't charge through things. We saw in when the outpost reinforcements arrived, they didn't attack, and would continue trying to move to rejoin the main force, even through your army, thus killing themselves without a fight. Why are you so committed to showing bad gameplay, instead of fixing these issues?

this game is looking really good

They're still focusing on the hero centered crap. Hupilululu, no one cares, show us nations... not a guy no one knows about.

Reminds me TWA's Western Rome.

world map in this game is huuuuuge

Needs a management engineering' master to play this game

A saga game is not worth £50 and DLC with 3 characters is not worth £20.

Why don't you make a cultures-specific interface?

Please, remove the jump dying animation when they are stabbed or they receive an arrow, just keep it for receiving chariot charges. Please please please.

Actually, this looks great! Take my $30

It's a high Price for a troy dlc... Ho wathever "industry standards" hmmm CA?

I can see byzantium mod.

Blood dlc when start the game plz

Back in the day this would be a part of kingdoms expansion equivalent. Now its separate expensive game

The battles just look so cartoonish. Like the bows themselves looks like toys with how out of scale they are.

Guys please stopping looking at CA as your favourite game develop, STOP looking at total war titles as your favourite titles. THEY ARE NOT WHAT THEY USED TO BE! All the good dev and good executive has long moved on to other company since the days of Medieval total war and Rome total war or Shogun total war. Please make your purchase decision as a business decision! PLEASE PLEASE BE MORE RATIONAL!

Repeated animations in several trailers means low animation variations

Why was this made? why?

This looks more like a Troy dlc than an actual game.

I hope the Sea People’s are shown with Iron Weapons instead of Bronze because from what little History we know of this Era, the Sea People did have Iron Weapons instead of Bronze, which is what made them a more formidable force on the battlefield than any other force in this time.

Where's Israel? Where's the "historical authenticity"? According to Pharoah Merneptah (huge 3m black granite Stela, Cairo Museum), Israel was on of the "Nine Bows" of foreign power he contended with.

I know this is not the business of Sofia, but I think it is necessary for CA. After Hotfix, there is a terrible BUG in WH3, that is if a infantry block move even just one step, they can get charge bonus, which lead to Players' infantry can hardly stand against AI's troop.

At 2:45 is that an edit or did you really add a full 3d UI?

one wish for future historical titles, please make them less rpg-ish. Let me pay money for better suplly lines and better armor and weapons and better horses for more movement range. But dont have me level an immortal general. Or make my army 30% faster because I worship a certain god? Either give that a sensible explaination or dont do it. I want to replay events of history not a second rate fanfiction

Cut executive pay and lower prices.

TROY patches with fixes when?

7:22 No one's gonna talk about homie getting stabbed in the hat?

very colorful hero lol like it new unit cards, better than older ones impressive mod by the way waiting for new upcoming mods

Add arbaic languge

I hope we will see Greeks...Then I will try the game.
