Total War Pharaoh is getting a massive game-sized overhaul in the coming months, set to redefine the game and frankly, make it into the experience many wanted from it on launch. A true Bronze Age Total War game is what we're looking at here, with the revealed campaign mini map and specifications promising a game virtually twice as large as the one we have right now.
This is undoubtably great news for Total War Pharaoh and its fans, and hopefully, this is something that will entice more players to play, presuming the game will be much more fun to play of course. Considering also the fact that CA has stepped up its communication, and its recent highly positively rated Total War Warhammer 3 DLC, is CA set to turn the ship around and bring about some positive change? It's certainly been a while since we could be positive, but I definitely think some of these changes are welcome, and all I can say is, I want more.
Let me know your thoughts on the coming Pharaoh update and the current and developing state of CA in the comments :)

    Software Engineer here. With regards to the engine, when developing software, it's possible to have a functionality work a certain way, in this case the map expanding east, and without properly anticipating future requirements, base everything around that functionality's behavior. So if you want to expand the map to the west, you have to change not just the map functionality, but also the functionality of everything depending on the map behaving that way. A good non-software example would be if a country that drives on the right side of the road suddenly decided to switch to driving on the left. Everyone would eventually have to buy a left sided car, every signed would have to be moved, the traffic lights would have to be updated, the roads would have to be repainted and on and on. So what would seem like a simple change, would actually have some pretty complicated knock on effects.

    @@AndysTake Happy to help. If I had to make educated guess, expanding the map Westward would probably mean whatever hex coordinates a location had would need to get updated, since the new hexes would have the lower numbered coordinates. So if you had a city at column 5, row 3 and expanded the map to the west by 4 columns, that city would now be at column 9, row 3. If you expanded the columns to the East, that city would still be at column 5, row 3. And you'd have to do this for every location on the map. This is all just an educated guess, based on my personal experience though, so take it with a grain of salt.🤪

    If this game would have launched with this amount of content and had been titled "Total War : Age of Bronze," they could have sold it at full price and still made decent money. Better yet, if they had made Medieval 3, Empire 2, or anything else, they also could have sold copies like hotcakes.

If you take CA out of the equation, the demand will rise up, and some independant devs will try their shot at it, some with success, some with failure, but novelty would be there.

But after the bad sales, they just decided to release every asset they have. Believe me, if they had to make this assets from 0, they would've never done it. Instead they could've made Pharaoh as DLC (as first planned after the release of Troy). Nobody is playing Pharaoh and nobody will see these full map. • They still messed up if you asked me.

    Hear me out. What if we are all overlooking something. Back when Total War came out it was all based on historic settings. It was a history game and back then I believe that most people had a better understanding and interest in history. Now, people coming out of High School in the US don’t know the difference between WW1 and WW2. I wholeheartedly believe it’s a cultural shift of people being less educated and/or having less overall interest in historical settings themselves. I imagine that most of the people directing or working on the games in the beginning were all history buffs and have since then retired or moved on to other jobs, which are then replaced by younger people, that statistically I would guess have less understanding or interest in History. Or maybe the original workers just got bored of repeatedly making a new skin and setting for a new game constantly that they don’t have the drive anymore, since companies that eventually get big try to continually increase profits and stock prices to show growth, but I don’t think that any company can just infinitely grow without imploding on itself for straying too far from what the original purpose of starting the company was in the beginning. The quote “All good things must come to an end” comes to mind

    Only Redemption possible for them is to give us what we want. And that is Med 3 and Empire 2 + US Civil war as a DLC to Empire 2. There is nothing that can convince me that a Empire 2 game that: 1) Gives us bigger unit sizes and optional increase of between 20 - 50 stack armies. 2) Highly detailed, much bigger and beautiful global campaign map. 3) New innovative features like revolving gun turrets on ships, hot air balloons for spotting, torpedos, early subs and machine guns. 4) Government governing system with more features and bigger tech trees. 5) More building options for cities and provinces + railroads. Plus maybe even the introduction of the car. 6) Possibility of having multiplayer battles and campaigns with more than two people. 7) More advanced peace conferences. 8) Events and crisises that the player have to solve and will effect the nation. Would not be a profitable course for CA to take. Im sry but i refuse to accept any argument against this. The fact that they chose to make stars wars instead of this or Medieval 3, it just shows how out of touch they are. People like my are willing to shove our cash into their faces, but not for a product we are not asking for.

    Im so glad to have this coming and for free too CA are starting rebuild that trust with the players again and I completely agree with you and them adding a mthyos option and bring back the hero duels fro K3 so they win or die rather than shitty Troy having to level up epic heroes just to watch them look cool for 5 minutes and shouting childish insults at each other unlike Rome 2 with their insults like - Soldier: Ba'al Hammon, protect meeeee! Officer: SHUT UP and die QUIETLY! -"the bastards, they're fighting back!" "...aye, enemies tend to do that" 🤣😅

    @@EisenKreutzer Where are the naval battles? The unobtrusive and clean UI, and gunpowder weapons, artillery and very different units (even if most factions are pretty similar) allows shogun 2 players to try a lot more tactics and strategies compared to Pharaoh's limited type of units (even if factions and units look different the true is that their tactics are all pretty much identical). Can you do Tercio types of armies in Pharaoh with Pikes and Arcabuses? Can you do hammer and anvil tactics without cavalry in Pharaoh? Can you set your artillery on a hill and force your opponent to rush your carefully chosen position? And... have you tried the Carlist Wars mod for Shogun 2? Or the Last Alliance mod for Shogun 2?
