You can! There's the Egyptians, Hittites, Canaanites, Sea Peoples, Mesopotamians, and the Achean and Pelasgians from Troy. All playable factions with a couple of varying amounts of different leaders to pick from in each culture.
There's two versions of Pharaoh, Total War: Pharaoh and Total War: Pharaoh Dynasties.
Dynasties is really good. It added back in a family tree and plays much more like the old historical games than Total War: Pharaoh. It's still very different from the older historical titles though. The resource management got changed around in a big way. It takes a little getting used to, but it makes sense for the most part.
Pharaoh Dynasties has always run surprising well for me, so big battles feel GREAT. The campaign map is very pretty, and I like most of the new mechanics. Sieges aren't total ass like they are in most Total War games, though still not super great.
I find it a much better Bronze age total war than Troy, but I did have fun with Troy Total War as well.
