Total War: Pharaoh Standard Edition

Total War: Pharaoh combines dynamic real-time battles with turn-based empire management in ancient Egypt at the height of its power. As the Bronze Age Collapse threatens, you lead a people facing societal disarray, natural disasters and waves of invaders. You can pursue the throne of Egypt as its last great Pharaoh, become a conquering Great King of the Hittites, or command the Sea Peoples’ invasion.

The campaign

The campaign map spans the cultural hubs of Egypt, Canaan and Anatolia. Choose from ten Faction Leaders, each with a distinct playstyle and a diverse unit roster. You can lead through diplomacy, command soldiers in battle or act as a warlord, while seeking to establish your legitimacy and expand your empire.

A new Campaign Customisation feature lets you adjust how each campaign plays. Options include random starting positions for all factions, detailed resource settings and control over natural disasters, allowing you to tailor the challenge.

Battles and the environment

Battle conditions can shift suddenly as torrential rain and sandstorms affect the surrounding terrain and the course of combat. Fire can also spread across battlefields, burning forests and damaging the foundations of enemy settlements.

Ancient lands

The game recreates ancient Egypt during a turbulent era, from the fertile banks of the Nile to the arid deserts of the Sinai Peninsula. The campaign also reaches the mountainous crags of ancient Anatolia.
