second post with mod
I haven't messed around with the settings, I've just been using defaults except for the setting which makes it so that the ai faction loses their armies when they lose their territory since they tend to spam single generals and it gets annoying
I have lost both of my faction leaders to old age before getting the throne in my good campaigns, but I also play slow
the pharaoh's death and the coming of the sea peoples are the only time-locked events as far as I know, everything else is dependant on the level of the collapse I think
BEWARE of Libu FUCKS spawning at the western edge of the maps at random probably the most annoying thing about playing as Amenmesse
aside from that, he gets really strong with all his gold and artillery-tier archers, plus his T2 spears are basically cavalry with the right bonuses attached
wall of text
Pharaoh is a great game but it has some issues with the ai, worse than it ever was in any of the warhammer games imo
some recommended cheats:
rebalances player unit costs and nerfs the ai's so that it makes more sense overall

makes the ai recruit stronger armies instead of peasant shitstacks

This will make the collapse actually happen since due to an oversight it won't happen otherwise

this will slow down the ai on their mission to be the biggest pain in the ass

in theory this will fix the big dick kings booting everyone out of their court but it still seems kind of broken to me
