We extrapolate the possible use, which can grow into something as complex as a unit.” You may have the remains of a weapon, and it’s unclear how somebody used it. Nikolov says that the work “feels like exploration – like you’re going into an unknown area and trying to get your bearings. When the team identifies a gap in an army’s roster, they search the records for something that can fit. If you have the Egyptian rosters, you then have a better idea of what the other factions need.” “We know, for example, we want the Egyptians to rely on bowmen, lightly armoured units, and chariots, while the Hittites will have heavier, better-defended melee units. “Once we have outlined the principles behind the cultures, it gets easier to decide on specific units,” Nikolov says. The team turns fractious evidence – written accounts, archeological finds, and antique artwork – into coherent, themed factions, with complementary strengths and weaknesses. Total War: Pharaoh follows the formula Creative Assembly has used for the last 20 years, and that familiar structure allows the team to sift through historical sources to bring ancient nations back to life. As a Hittite or Canaanite leader, you can try to change history by fighting off the armies that wiped them from existence. As an Egyptian leader, you can forge alliances with other factions or simply take their lands, growing your influence and legitimacy to ascend to the seat of the pharaoh.
Once you’ve made your selection, you take control of their cities and armies and begin seizing and holding power in a world map that spans north Africa and modern-day Turkey. You can pick a leader from one of many factions vying for power, a lineup that includes Hittites and Canaanites, two civilisations that didn’t survive the collapse.
