Vastly improved battle mechanics. Many new strategic levels. Challenging but fun.
Requires a relatively hefty machine. Interface graphics pretty outdated.

Detailed tutorials with interactive introductions to the most important game concepts.
The advisor explains, upon request, in the campaign, other rules and subtleties.
Detailed tooltips, information displays, and a searchable reference.
Many filtering and coloring features on the strategic overview map.
Quick shortcuts for all important functions
The veterans of the series are familiar with navigating through the menus.
Very detailed adjustment options for the campaign (difficulty level, speed, depth of gameplay)
Adjustable game speed at the strategic and tactical level.
The barbarian invasions create tension ...
Always an exceptional blend of real-time tactics and turn-based strategy.
Motivating role-playing game elements (experience points and equipment for generals)
Three factions with different characteristics, gameplay mechanics, and objectives.
Several leaders with different orientations for all factions.
Different government heritages increase the replay value.
Artificial intelligence operates on the battlefield in a highly competent manner, even in offensive siege warfare.
Small tasks and rewards increase motivation.
Relatively extensive diplomatic system, comprehensible decisions.
A huge depth of gameplay in tactical battles with dozens of influences on combat values.
Understandable results for automatically calculated skirmishes.
Manageable system requirements, playable even on low-powered computers with low resolution and low level of detail.
The preview map shows many affectionate details when zoomed in.
Almost picturesque battlefields, especially handcrafted colonies like the city of Mennefer.
Various weather and special effects, also having playful consequences (fog, fire)
Very beautiful light effects, day and night changes on the map.
The movements of the computer are calculated quickly and smoothly.
Many film sequences that illustrate certain events.
Apart from the multiplayer mode, we noticed very few technical errors during our test.
Many dialogues, appropriate actors, and lots of comments...
Very discreet but atmospheric background music.
Realistic sound effects in battles
Translation in English:
Mainly well suited for German.

Translation in English:
Mainly well suited for German.
The overview map always wastes too much space and does not allow for a comprehensive view of all the important information.
Uncomfortable, complex, and sometimes terrifyingly detailed menus that constantly fold back involuntarily.
The administration of the Empire becomes increasingly confusing as it grows.
Complicated game camera, which can sometimes turn on by itself.
Too many symbols with too little meaning or recognition value (fractures, units, buildings, gods)
However, this can also cause frustration, as sometimes it is unfair.
Foreign leaders show little personality.
In turn-based mode, the computer opponent often runs into ambushes or annoys with strategically useless attacks.
Although there are many units, they often only differ in details.
Occasional dysfunctions of group behavior (orientation, personal initiative)
The economic aspect is rather superficial for a global strategy game.
Some of the new game mechanics seem rather glued together than perfectly integrated.
No playable naval battles.
The one who zooms extremely close to the action will discover choppy animations or absurd actions of the soldiers.
Due to the scenario, there is less landscape diversity than in previous parts.
... but they end up becoming annoying with their frequency and pathos.

If you like contained, short campaign, this may be the Total War game for you
The UI is really stylish and fitting to the setting
A few new mechanics feel like the seed of something good
The campaign map looks very nice

You have basically only one culture and two halves playable

Diplomacy still feels limiting

Vida ExtraThe possibility to customize the campaign is an element that should remain in future deliveries.
The map of Egypt is limited, but visually impressive.
As the main novelty in Total War, it introduces crucial elements such as dynamic weather, new resource management, and the concept of legitimacy.
