Introduction to High Tide
SEGA Europe Limited and The Creative Assembly Ltd have just dropped the latest scoop for strategy gaming aficionados. Mark your calendars for January 25th, as the High Tide update sails into Total War: PHARAOH. This expansion isn’t just a ripple in the water; it’s a tidal wave bringing new cultures, factions, and game-changing mechanics.
The Sea Peoples: A New Wave of Warfare
Get ready to command the Sea Peoples, a group of nomadic warriors stirring up the Mediterranean. These new kids on the block are all about exploiting the chaos of the Bronze Age Collapse. With empires like Egypt and Canaan in disarray, the Sea Peoples swoop in for the kill, turning turmoil into opportunity.
Faction Focus: The Sherden
Lead the charge with Iolaos and the Sherden horde. Their gameplay is all about mobility and aggression. The Sherden are survivalists, thriving on conquests and spoils of war. They’re not just warriors; they’re resourceful nomads who use Eminence to flex their dominance.
New Units: The Sherden aren’t messing around with their arsenal. They’ve got Nuraghe Warriors, who can form a defensive turtle formation, Harpooneers for some ranged attack action, and Archers with sulfur-tipped arrows to ignite the battlefield.
Faction Focus: The Peleset
Enter Walwetes and the Peleset. They’re on a quest for a new empire and won’t hesitate to build it from the ashes of the old. The Peleset bring a hybrid strategy to the table, balancing nomadic raids with settling down to build something more permanent.
New Units: The Peleset pack a punch with units like Oxen Carts for dynamic flanking, Peleset Marines for an impressive ranged-melee combo, and Raiders who excel in fast, aggressive strikes.
A New Tide Approaches
Total War: PHARAOH’s High Tide update is more than just an expansion; it’s a whole new way to experience the game. With innovative factions and a fresh focus on nomadic strategies, it’s a must-try for any Total War enthusiast. Mark your gaming calendars and prepare to dive into the Bronze Age like never before!
