Set in ancient Egypt during the first dynasties, the game puts you in charge of guiding a kingdom from its beginnings around Memphis toward the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt. The campaign follows the country’s growth and challenges alongside the pharaohs.
On a turn-based map, assign workers and manage resources to support farmers and craftspeople, strengthen the economy, and maintain political stability. Expand into new lands, send expeditions, handle events and disasters, and make decisions about diplomacy and warfare with neighboring tribes.
Technologies open new options as the kingdom develops, while choices about which gods to worship can provide different benefits. Tomb and pyramid projects require substantial planning and resources; you can choose their designs and materials as you pursue these major construction goals.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its historical research and educational details, Egyptian-inspired art and atmosphere, and resource-planning strategy. Some find its relatively simple systems engaging and challenging, while others describe the campaign as too difficult, linear, or repetitive, particularly later on.
