## About Total War: PHARAOH

Total War: PHARAOH is a historical strategy game released in 2023 by Creative Assembly, set during the Bronze Age. Players navigate challenging grand strategy gameplay that reviewers describe as atmospheric and immersive, managing elements including civil war court systems, resource trade diplomacy, and unique building progression for their cities. The game features bronze-age unit balancing and an outpost system that restores stamina and reshapes army movement across massive campaign maps. Players highlight that every battle map has unique terrain and city quirks, cities reward unique building construction, and diplomacy involves meaningful resource negotiations rather than simple gold trading. The game costs $39.99 USD, supports solo play only, and is not currently supported on Steam Deck. It holds a 65% positive rating from 2243 Steam reviews.
