Pharaoh: Impressions Games, creators of the award-winning Caesar III, take you farther back in time with this stunning strategic city-building game set in the mysterious and beautiful land of the Nile. Welcome to ancient Egypt. Grow thriving cities in the desert and see the economy and inhabitants come to life. Interact with your citizens; observe their culture, their habits and learn from them. Raise their hopes or raze their homes. Manage your city poorly and watch it burn, be pillaged or collapse in economic ruin. Manage it well, and ultimately the grandest Egyptian monuments will be built in your honor. Bring your dynasty through the Old, Middle and New Kingdoms of Egypt towards the grandest goal - a Pharaoh of your royal blood. The Nile is a fickle friend. Pay careful attention to its flooding to avoid the devastating effects of drought and famine. Defend your city from other ancient cultures, such as the Canaanites or Hittites. Battle on land or water with powerful war galleys. Be sure to interact with your citizens. Scribes, Scholars, Priests, Embalmers and more will inform you on how wisely you rule.
