No Mesopotamia ?

Nice Bronze age.

Still though would of been nice being how nothing else is truly on par anyways. Remnants of them or something. Just like Rome II had remnants of the Estruscans......

That's like saying Rome II shouldn't have involved Carthage because of the game title. A game called Total War should probably have important/cultural enemies of the nation/culture the game is focusing on. Especially when said nation isn't exactly filled with a decent variation of units between a low number of leaders.

[Mosley was right]

No 'Total War'. It was done after Rome II, it's just that most Total War fans refused to see the writing on the wall back then. We 'did' try and warn you, after all...

As a historical total war player who hasn't touched and will never touch warhammer this game is rather fun though. But I wouldn't recommend it at $60 and wouldn't generally recommend it to people who didn't enjoy Troy.

Sick historical game guys.

WIth you didn't noticed they said ''the definitive bronze age experience'', imagine the ''definitive'' without having half of what composed the bronze age collapse... yeah... great work indeed

I have never seen the statement ''the definitive bronze age experience' from CA.
And no one has ever been able to provide the source of that statement.

So yes, I do not hold statements that apparently were not made against CA.

They said it in their first deep dive on Pharaoh and dev diary #2 which i found the exact mark of ''we wanted to create the ultimate sandbox''. The ''ultimate bronze age experience'' is somewhere in the deep dive, i will not watch it to point where exactly it is but you can see for yourself. Here it is the one i mentioned:

Sure they said ultimate sandbox and were pretty clear how the Ancient Legacy system contributes to that goal. Objectively sandbox is something Pharaoh does very well between plenty of choice in mechanics and a massive improvement on campaign options. Pharaoh IS the most configurable sandbox ever seen in a TW game.

They didnt say "ultimate bronze age experience" AND were very explicit at the geographical scope of the game.

Again, I will not hold statements that do not appear to have actually been made against CA.

Everything you just said is a lie lol. "Most configurable sandbox in a TW game" has the least features. I could do more in my campaigns in Rome II.

If you listened to Toblm it's all the players fault for expecting a better game than we got. "They never promised to make a good map so you can't get mad at them for making a terrible one! It's your fault for not listening!!" It's just this over and over again but for every issue regarding the game.

Go search in their first video i mentioned you, they SAID THAT, i don't remember where exactly it is, stop being lazy and do some research for once

Just went through the transcript of the first dev diary.
"Bronze age" only appears twice.
Once as "Bronze Age general," once as "this is the Bronze Age" (in the context of chariots and the lack of horse cavalry)

Never as any variation of "Pharaoh is the ultimate bronze age experience."

I've looked into it, and others have been equally unable to find this statement that is being attributed to CA. "Somewhere is advertising" doesnt cut. Provide a source for the quote, or there is no reason to the quote as legitimate.

well we know by now how CA do things .. so im sure it was the plan .

[0zzie]

The faction DLC's are probably some regional 'lords' from around the current campaign map. The Campaign DLC is probably a Mythos/Fantasy similar to Troy. Considering their recent patterns, unfortunately

We would hope the DLC's include map expansions and other Cultures
DLC 1 = Aegean Cultures
DLC 2 = Mesopotamian Cultures (Elam included)
DLC 3 = Regional Tribes (Libu, Canaanites, ect)
Campaign = Israelites

Don't hold your breath for anything explicitly Israelite related. CA doesnt need anymore controversy and recent events guarantee controvesy over any Israelite content.
