Think Age of Mythology but just in Egypt! Egyptian mythology even tops Roman and Norse in my book so I had to get this game. "Build a Kingdom. Rule the Nile. Live Forever" the slogan of the game best describes it. Build your patch of land from a farmers' paradise to a full and rich Kingdom of circa 2,500 BC. Learn to use the Nile and watch out for killer hippos. A major key to this game is trade. You must trade with your neighboring cities and towns or you will perish. Living on the Nile has it's benefits but also has it's downside, not much can grow in sand so use your money wisely and research your trade partners before opening a trade route. Fish, hunt, buy and make pottery, build a brewery for your hard working class and a conservatory for the wealthy to be entertained by dancers, jugglers and musicians. Build an army to protect your city from outsiders and a palace to house your gold. As your city builds you'll become more and more induced by the bustling of your little people. This is another strategy game that takes a long time commitment on your part to play but it is worth it. Gameplay – 9 (Click and Drag with easy menus) Graphics – 8 (Typical strategy God's-eye view) Sound – 9 (Good effects sounds especially as your city grows) Playability – 10 (Without a doubt)
