Immerse yourself in Ancient Egypt from the age of the Great Pyramids to the final years of the New Kingdom. Govern all aspects of the exotic Egyptian culture from religion to trading with distant cities. Cultivate vast farms in the Nile valley and discover the important role this river, with its unpredictable floods, played in the life of the Egyptians. Stone by stone, erect giant monuments from the Sphinx, the Great Pyramids, the Colossi of Ramses II at Abu Simbel to the lighthouse and library of Alexandria. Battle against other ancient cultures and even against Octavian and the Romans on land or water. Be sure to interact with your citizens. Scribes, Scholars, Priests, Embalmers and more will inform you how wisely you rule. The Nile is a fickle friend. Pay careful attention to its flooding to avoid the devastating effects of drought and famine - deadly plagues.
