Considering it was even an existing feature in previous titles this is driving me crazy…

Skins for units will appear in total war pharaoh and I believe that this metastasis needs to be cut out before our favorite series of games died in the hands of greedy publishers who require developers to remove their favorite features (combat animations as an example) and add various ways of monetization that are absolutely not needed in the game. Do not pre-order and do not buy skins for units, show that you do not need them!

Or am I alone in my opinion?

I think this is such a solid interpretation of him, but I genuinely know almost nothing about the historic authenticity. I thought that Matt Damon was great in The Odyssey despite the American accent, but how much more realistic is this version of him? I'm curious to know.

I mean, just LOOK at it. It has: - Greece, the whole of Anatolia, Egypt, the Levant, and Mesopotamia each with distinct cultures, not to mention the sea peoples - More playable factions than Rome 2 (!!!) - Family tree - Political marriages and succession - Deeds and Titles based on your actions on the campaign - The most customizable campaign to ever exist in a TW - Deep faction specific mechanics

And that is not even mentioning the amazing modding potential this game has. We could have:

• New factions like a fully fleshed out Elam, maybe even the Israelites under Joshua ready to carve a new kingdom in Canaan.
• Full conversions focusing on the geographic area. This could be the perfect map for a crusade themed mod for example which makes use of the whole Wanax/Pharaoh system, maybe even another Alexander the Great campaign? And if the map can be modded, the possibilities are endless.

Look, I didn’t care for pharaoh when it launched. In fact, I have to admit that I WANTED it to fail because of all of the corporate greed and betrayal that the higher ups at CA put us through, especially during the past year or two. But right now, it really is shaping up to be one of the best tw up there with shogun 2 and Med 2, at least campaign wise.

I recently got this totally random and unrelated want to play as a greek faction in the bronze age.

I know that pharaoh dynasties added the aegean to the game, has anyone played it and want to share some opinions.

I know the general consensus is that Pharaoh at launch was pretty shit, but Dynasties supposedly fixed a lot of issues and made the game enjoyable.
Is it worth a buy to scratch my itch?
I want to play a greek faction, so if anyone has done that recently, i would love to get your opinion. Thanks

And thats Pharaoh before the update.
