And we're also getting a podcast episode with the expansion, as noted on Twitter:

Mohawk Podcast makes its return with Dale, Solver, and Josh talking about the new DLC for Old World: Pharaohs of the Nile!

The podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/...s/Old-Worlds-Pharaohs-of-the-Nile-DLC-e2a2lmc

 

[Dale]

@Solver scary, they found the podcast!

 

[Solver]

Oh no! It wasn't me! Dale made me do it!

 

[The_J]

Okay, I'm getting interested in listening to it .

 

[PiR]

Same here, tab is open, we'll see which month I'll finally do it.

NB : They're doing it on purpose.

 

[Solver]

We would never!

 

[PiR]

Very interesting! I'm not usely into podcasts but I learnt many historical facts, about the Central Europe to Middle-East migrations, origins of week-ends and etymology of holidays.
My first surprise was Dale's voice, that I imagined deeper, with the bearded serious profile pic
Did you really implement hierioglyphics within the game?
You're doing a great job to incent buying the DLC. I hope not just fans of OW listens to the podcast but also new people who will be attracted to the game!

I think there's a bit of white noise when you talk Solver, you may want to all buy the same mic next time

I love the musics included, I guess they're from the game?

 

[Solver]

Oh yes we did implement hieroglyphics

 

[PiR]

So if it's only for geography and not units/actions, it may be actually playable?
I guess Dale is still translating the thousands of events

 

[Solver]

Yes, we stopped just shy of requiring players to get a PhD in Egyptology to play the scenarios

Geographic names and cities change to hieroglyphics in that mode but the rest remains readable - the game does remain playable!

 

[Dale]

I did include hieroglyphics for the main character names, some of the context help has hieroglyphic translations as well as "readable" translations. Oh, and a couple of pronunciations for the important bits.

 

[PiR]

You're both crazy and amazing

 

[Dale]

You're both crazy and amazing

Can I use this in my next performance review? @Soren Johnson

 

[PiR]

I can't believe a modern company such as Mohawk still conducts performance reviews

[Dale]

I can't believe a modern company such as Mohawk still conducts performance reviews
(trolling)

They don't actually.

 

[Solver]

Except when it's me reviewing the game's performance in the profiler.

 

[Casworon]

[Nikolai II]

[Dale]

I said once I get to Europe in '25.
