ok, I'm caught up in the excitement and if the devs are ready to listen, I would like to express here my wish list of things I would like to see and change for TW Pharaoh. I take some things from an old post of mine

anyone who wants to add things here can do so :)

1.  Campaign and battle UI. I believe the Canaanites and Hittites ( and the others) should have a UI modeled on their culture. falcon wings and golden scarabs do not suit the climate of the other cultures.
2.  More particle effects: chariots and armies running on the sand should have a "mad max fury road" effect but I don't see anything similar even on high settings.
3.  Make night battles an easier thing to do. (and add torches!)
4. No more clone generals: I only met two faces in my encounter with the Egyptians. I would like to see more diversity. It would also be very nice if there was a graphic feedback when a piece of armor or a weapon is mounted (like in 3K)
5. 2D graphics for important events: in short, to highlight an earthquake or a plague, a miserable blue window is not enough. we need nice 2d graphics in Egyptian fashion. as in tob or troy
6. The landscape behind the post-battle combat screen is always the same. how boring! should be changed based on the battle map!
7.  the court mechanics should be revised in my opinion by adding more options, so after 50 turns it becomes very boring.I believe that each character should have at least 5 actions to perform and not 3
8. add caravan system exactly like chaos dwarf in warhammer 3
9. I know it's a dream, but for heaven's sake, add naval (and river) landings again
10.  improves diplomacy: as in 3K, I would like to have the possibility to exchange objects, marry a family member from another faction, etc. 
11. renames the game to Total War Pharaoh: Bronze Age Collapse
12. add more banners (exactly like in trailer ramses VS amenmesse)
    

Besides Mesopotamia and Mycenae, also Naval battles and Mythos are in my wishlist

Naval Battles:​

1. Ship Types and Factions: Each faction could have unique ship designs and bonuses, such as faster but lighter Egyptian warships or heavier Sea Peoples' ships that carry more troops.

2. Boarding and Ramming Mechanics: Make ramming an effective tactic with a risk of damaging one's own ship. Boarding actions could be interactive, allowing players to command individual units.

3. Environmental Hazards: Use weather and currents to make navigating tricky, where storms could capsize smaller vessels and strong currents could push ships into rocky shorelines.

4. Shore Defense and Land Interaction: Coastal fortifications and land-based units could fire arrows and projectiles at ships, and landing troops to capture strategic points could be integrated.

5. Unique Units and Abilities: Include specialized units like archers with fire arrows or warriors who excel at close-quarters combat. Special abilities like naval maneuvers or summoning a deity's favor could provide bonuses.

6. Historical Scenarios: Recreate famous battles like the Sea Peoples' assault on the Nile Delta or simulate fictitious scenarios based on ancient naval tactics and strategies.

Mythos Pharaoh:

Each civilization could have only up to 3 different mythic entities summoned in the world at same time, and each monster would be unique, if dies is lost in your campaign and the god curses you for a few years because is your fault that your mythical being dies. Mythical creatures would be something that fits the religion of each culture, including divine Possession in battle of your general for some cases.

Creatures of Egypt:

Ammit

Sesepankh (the name in old egyptian for the famous sphinx wich means 'living image')

Uadjet (goddess bodyguard of the pharaoh, and the lower Egypt)

This would be enough, has enough meaning, while all other things would be just spells, blessings and curses.

Other cultures next:

Mycenaeans:

1. Minotaur: A creature with a human body and a bull's head that lived in a labyrinth on the island of Crete. It symbolized power and was feared by all.

3. Garamantes Warrior Spirits: A spectral army of chariot-mounted warriors clad in bronze armor, their ghostly steeds galloping across the sands. They wield spears and shields glowing with a supernatural light, embodying the fighting spirit of the Garamantes.

Canaanites:

1. Yamm: A sea serpent with a long, sinuous body covered in emerald scales and crowned with coral and barnacles. His eyes burn with the fire of storms, and his forked tongue lashes out as he roars, summoning waves and whirlpools to drown his enemies.

2. Mot: A skeletal figure with hollow eyes and a gaping mouth, shrouded in tattered robes that seem to absorb light. His fingers are long and bony, and he wields a scythe-like weapon made from the bones of his victims, symbolizing his dominion over death.

Apiru/Habiru  (Hebrews Late Bronze Age):

3. Ziz: A mythical bird with rainbow-colored feathers and a wingspan that can blot out the sun. Its beak is sharp like a spear, and it soars through the sky, summoning storms with its flapping wings.

​more variety in the faces and uniforms of the generals who are generalists, not more clone generals.

more variety in the faces of the troops, there are many faces that are clones.

more historical events and dilemmas and videos that liven up and give immersion to the campaign.

more complexity and more historical and realistic diplomatic options.

more actions,more intrigues,more political options at court that are in keeping with the epoch.

of course, the strategic map remains as detailed as the one that has been created, with many provinces, historical and immersive.

if it is possible to improve the AI, make it more intelligent and rational and not imply that the more difficult it is, the more bonuses for the AI, we want a good AI that plays without bonuses in a realistic way, that its troops act accordingly whether they are militias or professional troops without no bonus,this gives greater historical realism.

regarding the new factions,assyrian that is a military power, with a large, well equipped and organized army, with militia troops, but also with a large number of professional troops.that is why assyria created an empire that encompassed egypt and the entire middle east,let the military power of assyria be noted in the game.

that kings,characters and all generals can die both in combat and from other causes and old age.

that the children of royalty have unique characteristics and unique models, that they are not general generalists.

that in the game there are more historical and unique generals.

i agree with the proposals of the other users,except the one that proposes mythological and fantastic things, they should not be in an exclusively historical game and for CA dedicating fantastic mythology to the game is a waste of time, efforts and resources that are needed to further enhance the historical aspect of the game.
