With TW: Pharaoh coming out in a few weeks, I took a chance and preordered so that I could try out the features. Despite being a US historian, have a fascination with ancient and classical history, and wanted to see how this game handled the Bronze Age.
First impressions from me and very positive. There's some 170+ settlements, allowing for an excellent level of detail in Egypt, the Levant, and central Anatolia. The court system reminded me of the way Kings and the Emperor could control their court in 3K, but with more interactions between the offices as you jockey for power and status.
The map felt smooth and loaded quickly, even with my potato of a PC. I'm excited for the full release in two weeks, gimme those Hittites!
I stream on Twitch.tv/DrRiley52, come and chat with me sometime!
