Haven't finished the video but wanted to comment and say that glad to see more Pharaoh content start showing up. Like you I thought overall the foundation for Pharaoh was there and thought the battles themselves were pretty fun.
@@mendax2251 Nooope... Generally in the English-speaking world it's pronounced "I-thuh-kuh", with a short I sound and stress on the first syllable (there is a city in New York state by this name). In modern Greek it's "Ithaki", pronounced "i-THY-kee", which is a little closer to what this guy managed. More egregious is his pronunciation of "Achaeans" which comes out as "AH-kuns" somehow, which isn't even close. In English this is pronounced "uh-KAY-uns", whereas in modern Greek it would be "ah-KHY-ahs", with the "KH" consonant sound something a bit between an English H and a German CH. No matter how you slice it, somebody skipped the research portion of this assignment.
I'm just wondering if it's possible to play Total War: Pharaoh like a game of monopoly where you just keep accumulating resources and buying cities from everyone....
I personally think they should be focusing on Empire Total War 2, Rome Total War 3, Medieval Total War 3. We have been asking for these games forever, but they don't seem interested in wanting to release them. One reason could be because their current engine is designed for Troy and Pharaoh and not for a complete reskin, but what do i know! Hope creativeassembly gets back to its good years.
@EverGameStudiosThey're already kind of in the game under a different name, because some scholars assume habiru was sometimes used as a term for hebrew in some areas and there is a horde faction called habiru that starts in southern Canaan. So if you want to you could interpret them to be Hebrews.
For the most part it actually is historical. Not completely sure about some of the body armor (there are similar real versions but haven't seen those specific ones) but all the helmets, shields, weapons etc. are pretty accurate.
I honestly don't know if this is just attributable to mental laziness... it isn't even a long word for someone to say they misread it because they can simply read it a second time in any case. On the other hand, if the problem is not that they misread it I just don't know how someone (who speaks English) can think the letter a can make an "ee" sound...
Keep up the good work, lookin forward to more video’s
Thanks!
I can’t help but ONLY play Ithaca because of the EPIC:SAGAS 😭 I’m addicted to just playing Odysseus while jamming to the music 😂
I’m torn between him and the horse nomads

Yeh agreed, I understand why it's not everyone's cup of tea but they made sure to provide the improvements for us
You really should prioritize taking down enemy ranged units, especially archers and javelins. They are absolutely devastating in Dynasties.
Will do
Really enjoyable video, thank you for making it! :)
Thank you for the kind words!
Sorry but ‘Etheeka’ has me rolling😭😭
"Eetheeka"
Is that how its supposed to be pronounced? I was actually wondering

“Ith-a-ka” and “a-gee-ans”
Haha thanks! I'll try my best to get it right 😆

its certainly possible. Gold is overrated on this game, so if you have the right strategy it could work
tried playing Sutu faction it broken cant build monuments
really? there was a recent hotfix update, maybe they fixed it now?
Corfu I believe
I don't know what you mean? 😅
@@JayPixl I thought u started of on the island that is now Corfu in Greece
Oh got you, you maybe right!
Apologies it’s not Corfu
I'm 7 episodes in front now, what was this about?
Was rhesus in this minor factions?
I'm not sure
He’s Thrace
Not being able to play as the Jews is a big miss by CA.
Absolutely, there is more historical evidence of Jewish presence all over Egypt and Levant around this time and it's frustrating.

Someone will mod them in.
So that means a freelance developer is going to provide what we want instead of the company. Surely the next game is one of them

the troops gear dont look historical
yeh i guess

So this crap is basically just TROY 2 Total War?
Close enough to it, same engine and I think they have been using the same engine to save money from what iv read
I’m so sick of historical total wars. They’re boring. Bring back fantasy!
I never liked warhammer at all, three kingdoms you could say is near fantasy and that was a great game. Should bring back empire total war 2!
LETS GOOOO
ODYSSEUS THE SEA KING

I guess I don't take life as seriously to care so much for this. I tried and failed, move on 🤣🤣
