Yall made Pharaoh great rather then abandon it. You all should feel very proud. Did a fantastic job and very excited to see what comes next👏

[MedjayofFaiyum]

You guys no man skied this game so hard it remains one of my most favourite total wars. You guys made this Bronze Age fan happy!!

[exigm]

the game is so great thank you CA! Best time since Rome II

[DonCan]

No Man's Sky of Total War games.

Hope we get some DLCs for it too. Absolutely love it.

The fact you guys turned what people were calling a Troy reskin, into a full fledged Bronze Age Total War with Dynasties is nothing short of amazing. Can't wait to see what's next.

Thank you so much for Pharaoh and Dynasties, to see one of the most intriguing and mysterious ages in all of history brought to life, where I can not only witness history but live it is one of the coolest things I’ve ever played.

Also I know the avoidance of it but I’ve been loving the minor nods to biblical history with the Shashu and Habiru, same for the Peleset and Walewetes. Legit one of my fav things is to try to depict the theory of pre-Jewish paganism where the Hebrew God is a combination of local Canaanite deities so making a pantheon of Baal, El and Ashera is so damn cool. Like thank you.

Already spent tons of hours on Dynasties, thanks for creating a new TW favorite!

[MedjayofFaiyum]

This would work great as a podcast series

[batanasovski]

Kudos to all of you at Sofia team for your work, Dynasties is one of the best new games of the franchise. Currently my favourite.

Honestly out of some miracle I'm really hoping they see how much people love the game & will come back to it & make more improvements or do a DLC just like how they did for Rome 2 I don't think they understand how they turned this game around then decided to just move forward. If you don't come back to it please just take your time with the next historical title & give us everything that should be in the base game then just add to it 💪 thank you so much for dynasties honestly seeing myself dive 1k+ hours into it easy

It's awesome hearing what the devs did and didn't do with all the trials and tribulations (shame the chariot racing didn't make it) much love to the dev team

[Empowerless]

Egypt wasn't built in a day. Thanks for the great game.

[troydodson]

Dynasties has become one of the best Total War. Europa Barbarorum will just always be 1st for me, but this is on Divide Et Impera levels of fun. Dang fine work.
P.s. the Religion is a HUGE bonus for me, particularly for the setting. Modders seeing this, play with this mechanic please

[TryHardCryHarder]

Its interesting to see the thought process behind decisions for the games. Thanks for the video.

[resileaf]

This was a very fun watch! I love how candid you can be about game development and the difficulties involved but also the fun parts.

I'm of the opinion that Pharaoh was great from the beginning, but the Dynasties update really made it into something special. I hope that many things you've developed in Pharaoh will show up in future Total War games as well!

[miguelsanchez]

Very awesome, thank you Todor and CA Sofia! I love this glimpse into all the passion and hard work y’all have put into this game!

[odysseasgrigoriadis]

It's just so cool to get a look behind the scenes and hear about what ideas have been tossed around (I'd definitely loose myself in a game of senet btw). Thank you for this super cool insights and of course the amazing game! 💜

[happycompy]

This was a good watch. Please don't nerf the AI aggressiveness. Some of us love the challenge. Also, please take a look at the long end turn times. Thank you for turning Pharaoh into a great historical title.

I didn't had so much pleasure to play battles since Medieval II. Still a little too quick with lethality, but yeah, I can disable it.

[lightbringer]

This video along with the Warhammer ones are amazing, hopefully you keep making them!!
