>1. Is Warhammer 3 worth playing?
Depends? I don't hate it, it arguably has some improvements of WH2 and can be fun but also has issues, both due to its age and the quirks of monsters and magic.

>2. Why did Pharaoh flop?
Multiple reasons.
>high price point
>sounded like a troy 2.0/small expansion
>era is arguably not that appealing to the average player and very close to troy
>didn't help that many considerd the map to be missing important parts
>historic fanbase generally being pissed and especially with troy and its mythological stuff
>community frustration with CA for previous decisions
>negative expectataions because the dev team made saga titles
>playerbase hyping themselves for the "inevitable" medieval 3 which didn't happen

>3. Is Pharaoh worth playing if I like ancient Egypt themed games, for example I played AC Origins because of it.
Bought it yesterday, so I only played it for a few hours thus far but I'd say yes, especially the 13 bucks I paid for it.
It certainly feels like a step in the right direction. Seems like the game is mechanically far deeper than I expected. Multiple resource system appears to be a nice way to encourage lower tier units and I appreciate that battles go on for a bit longer again.

Might be rough getting used to the newer titles. As >>1797763 correctly pointed out post rome2 tw is different. Arguably pharaoh feels like a move closer to shogun 2 but I might just feel that way because I played a lot of WH3 before it.
