Total War Pharaoh - Total War Attila

To me all the people saying "TROY 2" Seem to forget that one of the most liked total wars, was a "Rome 3" Since it reused a lot of stuff from Rome 2. I don't know how the game is going to pan out, but "Troy 2" seems pretty baseless personally.

I wouldn't be so concerned on the comments made in bad faith.
There's a trend lately to pile on on everything that is announced - gotta shine some light to those poor souls.

Well what do you expect from people who resent CA and the franchise for diverted from Medieval 2 and Shogun 2. These are the same people who tried to pass off gameplay videos of Total War: Three Kingdoms, a game that has been succeeded by two more releases already, as Total War: Pharoah gameplay and did it the day before the release of actual gameplay footage from Pharaoh.

Think the failure of many games speaks for themself. People dont want an reskin, they want an improvement and a upgrade.

How many features has been introduced then taken away? Then re-added as an new feature? Hopefully will this game keep the diplomatic system from 3 kingdome, the tech tree from Empire and a building system from Rome 1. But nothing of this has been shown, only some re-added but dumb down version of numbers play mechanics.

Mostly all comments here, is some form of expression that they are tired of reskins of an game. They felt that much of mechanics has not been built on, instead they have either taken away or dumbed down.

This in combination that the battles are not enough anymore to sell an total war game. Mostly because historic fans find battle more enjoyable in exemple Total Medieval 2/shogun 2 or people who want big awesome battle find satification of this in Total Warhammer.

Thats why one of the reason historic fans want total game set in WW1 because it is one of few areas that total war game tried and failed when it comed to battles.

i felt ww1 or close to it would have been the next logical step after FOTS.
That would have gotten much better out of the engine I feel.
look at what they are adding in this game; armour heath bars
If we were driving tanks across the map, that'd make sense.

Well, yes? Pharaoh is pretty much literally the Troy edition of Attila. Whereas Attila is literally Rome II II, or rather Rome II Apocalypse Edition, Pharaoh is obviously Troy II or rather Troy Apocalypse Edition. This is borderline the entire identity of the game.
