    Re: It's out!

    (Originally written for another thread, but this all still applies.)

    I'm holding off doing my Steam Review till I've played more, but I can give you my first impressions.

    I'm really enjoying...
  2. Re: Concern Over TW's Growing Lack of Interest in Historical Accuracy And Bad Battle Animations

    I'm finding unit collision works quite well, with lighter units having a slightly looser engagement, and heavy units hitting like a freight train. I'll have to look out for those eager soldiers...
  3. Re: Concern Over TW's Growing Lack of Interest in Historical Accuracy And Bad Battle Animations

    Just so you know, this has been debunked by the Creative Director of Pharaoh on the Total War Discord.

    All the Best,

    Welsh Dragon.
  4. Re: Concern Over TW's Growing Lack of Interest in Historical Accuracy And Bad Battle Animations

    I disagree with all of this. I feel that your comments here do not reflect the game I am playing and thoroughly enjoying. As a fellow long time Total War player, going back over 20 years to Medieval...
  5. Re: Concern Over TW's Growing Lack of Interest in Historical Accuracy And Bad Battle Animations

    Total War is alive and well, with different games appealing to different parts of the community as has always been the case.

    That said, Pharaoh is by far the most traditional historical Total War...
  6. Re: Concern Over TW's Growing Lack of Interest in Historical Accuracy And Bad Battle Animations

    Pharaoh doesn't have choosing of traits.

    Pharaoh characters have three characteristics. Traits, Competencies, and Titles.

    Traits are gained automatically through your character's actions and...
  7. Re: Concern Over TW's Growing Lack of Interest in Historical Accuracy And Bad Battle Animations

    Indeed. I got to play a little of Pharaoh over the weekend as they were doing an Early Access Weekend for preorders and this game is huge.

    The campaign map's as big as Rome 2's in terms of...

  9. Sticky: Re: Total War: PHARAOH - confirmed! - general discussion

    It's neither a reskin, nor a cash grab.

    It has similarities to some of the things in Troy because two games in the same series are always going to have similarities. They're also both set during...
  10. Sticky: Re: Total War: PHARAOH - confirmed! - general discussion

    I get what you're saying. I think the way to look at Pharaoh is that they're making a game in the vein of Shogun 2, rather than Rome 2.

    So the goal here is not to portray the entire Bronze Age,...

    Yes. On the Pharaoh site there's an FAQ

  14. Re: Concern Over TW's Growing Lack of Interest in Historical Accuracy

    First impressions, cautiously optimistic with a couple of concerns.

    Welcome to the the Writer's Study DavidBN. It's always nice to be able to meet new authors, and to see some of the older games getting some attention too.

  20. Re: How did the game makers determine the unique political features of each Rise of the Republic faction?

    I believe they looked to history for inspiration. For example the Ver Sacrum was an actual rite carried out by the Sabines and Samnites.

  21. Re: A Total War Saga : Troy coming to Steam on 2. September

    Unfortunately not, sorry. It's a combination of a memory and what others have been saying on Reddit, but I can't pin down the exact post/article, sorry.

    All the Best,

    Welsh Dragon.
  22. Re: A Total War Saga : Troy coming to Steam on 2. September

    What they said was they hoped to be able to do something like that, possibly through Total War Access. Unfortunately looks like that didn't come to fruition as there's been no mention recently.

  23. Re: A Total War Saga : Troy coming to Steam on 2. September

    If you bought it for Steam then yes you have to wait till 2nd September as none of Troy has been released for Steam yet.

    If you bought it for Epic then I imagine you'd probably be able to play the...

  26. Re: Dealing with multiple rebellions in Caesar in Gaul

    What you're describing sounds like Caesar in Gaul's end game challenge, when all Gaul rises against you. (The other factions have a different challenge.)

  33. Re: How do you determine what technologies to research first?
