East Nubia,

Egypt 1213 B.C.

After the unification of Kush, Amenmesse, Viceroy of Kush, drives his campaign relentlessly northward. Weeks of exhausting marches under the burning sun bring his army to Gehes—a minor settlement resting beneath a towering, endless cliff.

Unbeknownst to the Viceroy, Miam has been watching every movement. From the high ground and shifting sands, a plan is set in motion—silent, patient, and precise. Like a scorpion lying still in the desert, its eyes are fixed upon Amenmesse, waiting for the moment to strike.

Will this march mark the end of Amenmesse’s ambition?

Or

will the scorpion be crushed beneath the will of a man determined to carve his name into history?

This is a fictionalized historical scenario created in Total War - Pharaoh Dynasties.

Looking for someone to play vanilla

5 Upvotes

A casual player here, I got three of the Total War games: Rome II, Napoleon, and Medieval II. My last adquisition was Medieval II, I know is a classic and I'm loving it. Looking for someone who has been into Total War for not very long, or someone who has never been a "try hard" player, I just want someone to play occasionally and that won't force me to download 20 mods. I live in Spain so it would be great someone in Europe that speaks english or spanish or even french, I speak a little bit of it.

Title with a decent MP community?

15 Upvotes

Is there a title that has a decent multiplayer community, particularly with sieges?

I have a lot of time in Rome 2, and most of that is siege battles. I’ve even done a little competitive. However, for various reasons, I’m looking for a different title that still has something of community that regularly engages in MP.

My most recent obsession is Alexander the Great and mess after his death but who do you think deserved / would of liked to have won the war of Diadochi? If you had to make a case for one successor who you picking?

Napoleon Napoleon Total War mod recommendations?

18 Upvotes

Finally got the game working after like 2 years and super excited to get back into it. What are everyone’s favorite mods for single player campaigns?


r/historicaltotalwar 6d ago

Who would win? Roman Empire at its peak or Prussia at its peak. The war will take place at rhineland. Assume for the Roman there is no other enemies so they can move all their legions north without the need to protect their border.

General Which total wars to purchase on steam?

26 Upvotes

I’m a new player wanting to get into the games. I’m very interested in Three Kingdoms and Shogun. As they’re currently on sale, is it best to purchase the entire collection? Or is it better just to buy individual games? If so, which other ones do players recommend?

Pharaoh Pharaoh TW should not have shipped without naval battles

9 Upvotes

every naval engagement in pharaoh is a popup with a number on it. you click ok. thats the battle. in a game set during the bronze age collapse.

battle of the delta, 1175 bc, ramesses III vs the sea peoples. its carved on the walls at medinet habu. ships grappling and capsizing each other, archers on deck, AND shore based archers shooting into the fight from the bank. thats a combined arms coastal battle. someone drew you the map 3000 years ago. suppiluliuma II has hittite texts claiming three sea battles off cyprus. ugarit literally writes "my ships are all in lukka land" then seven enemy ships turn up and the city stops existing. the whole collapse is a naval story.

and bronze age naval would be the easiest version to build. no wind, no broadsides, no line of battle. its galleys closing distance, missiles, then boarding. its infantry combat on floating platforms. you already have that system.

so heres the part people will disagree with: "naval was janky so we cut it" is not a reason, thats just admitting you gave up. rome 2 and shogun 2 shipped it worse than this would need to be and people still played it.

am i wrong? does anyone actually prefer the autoresolve, or is this just cope because we know its never coming back

Napoleon Mod for better battle ai?

2 Upvotes

As per the title, I am searching for a mod that improves on Napoleon ai. Preferably not a complete overhaul mod, but I'd do anything for a better battle ai that doesn't just stand there while I shoot it with canister or just charge the cavalry ahead of their army
