Total War is getting a chatbot overlord. Creative Assembly is adding an AI advisor to Total War: Pharaoh, powered by NVIDIA's tech. This is not your basic tutorial guide. It uses a local language model on your GPU for real-time, context-aware help. Players can just talk to it or type naturally instead of digging through menus. The thing is trained on the game's specific rules and knows exactly what is happening in your campaign at that moment.
It can explain why a city rebelled or give tactics based on your current map. It works by processing your question, the live game state, and a massive internal database with all the stats on units, buildings, and faction perks. Creative Assembly built it with NVIDIA ACE tools to link that game data to the model. The goal is to make the famously complex series easier for newcomers without dumbing it down. A playtest for this feature is slated for some community members later this year.
NVIDIA also gave an update on that PUBG AI companion, the PUBG Ally. It will get a limited-time test in the game's Arcade mode in the first half of the year, supporting English, Chinese, and Korean. These bot teammates use small on-device models for speech and language. They listen to your voice commands, check the game situation, and then talk back with synthesized voice lines. They are even getting a long-term memory to remember past matches and your play style, which should make them feel less robotic.
Separately, Creative Assembly has two major projects in the works. They are developing Total War Medieval III and a Total War: Warhammer 40,000 title.
