Total War: PHARAOH's High Tide update is now available

Players are invited to delve into the collapse of the Bronze Age by choosing one of two new factions of the Sea Peoples culture. While the ruthless Sherdana devote themselves to destruction and sacrifice, the Pelesites wage a relentless war to create a new homeland. Players will be able to control the land using new game mechanics, which include multiplayer mode. With 37 new units at their disposal, they will be able to crush armies and subjugate entire civilizations.

Faction in focus: Sherdana
Lead the Shirdana horde as Iolaus, a young explorer determined with only one goal: to lead his warband to where the sun rises, destroying and sacrificing everything he finds along the way in honor of the gods.

Game mechanics
The Shirdana form a rapidly growing nomadic horde that relies on constant conquests for survival. Use the new Spoils of War mechanic to destroy cities for additional resources, build Nuraghe Camps to strengthen your armies in the campaign, and use the new Eminence feature to establish dominance over other Sea People tribes and integrate them into your own Horde.

New units
Command several new units, including the Nuraghe Warriors, who are able to organize themselves into the armored, tortoise-like Quelone formation capable of protecting your advance, the Harpooneers, who hurl deadly barbed spears at their targets, and the Shirdana Archers, who shoot sulfur-tipped arrows and then set them on fire. The ground is under the enemy's feet.

Faction in focus: The Belicite
Ensuring the collapse of the Bronze Age as Aliates, the massive patriarch who leads our second faction, the Pelesets. After conquering the seas after the destruction of their empire, the Bellesit family searches for a new home and will build it on the ruins of the old world if necessary.

Game mechanics
The Pelicites are a nomadic/colonist hybrid horde capable of setting up camps or occupying cities on the campaign map. The Spoils of War and Grace mechanics become valuable allies when you accept the unique challenge of balancing the need to continue down the warpath to survive with the need to establish yourself and create the foundation for a new empire to emerge. Bronze Age collapse furnace.

New units
Command all-new units, including Ox Carts, troop-carrying vehicles capable of flanking the enemy, and transport Peleseven's shock troops into the heart of battle. Pelesete Marines are heroic warriors who fire volleys of spears before engaging in melee combat, while Pelesete Marauders are elite, aggressive infantry that move quickly and attack at full force.
