Pharaoh

Pharaoh and Cleopatra is an isometric city-building game set in Ancient Egypt by Impressions Games and published by Sierra Entertainment for Windows-based computers . It involves the construction and management of settlements and cities in ancient Egypt, and is the first such themed game in the City Building series.

The original game Pharaoh was released on October 31, 1999, and complimented with an expansion pack, Queen of the Nile: Cleopatra, released by BreakAway Games the following year. Both the original game and expansion pack and commonly referred to, and my be purchased as one, under the title Pharoh and Cleopatra

Pharaoh is based on the same game engine as Caesar III, also by Sierra Entertainment, and operates on the same principles, but has many improvements and exceptions.

If building and managing cities is your passion, then Pharaoh is the game for you. It puts you in charge of building the ancient Egyptian civilization, complete with work camps, temples to Bast, and, of course, pyramids. Unlike some games of this type, where you build one city indefinitely and watch the population climb, Pharaoh is divided into missions. Players are given a goal–a desired population, food storage targets, and cultural achievements. Play continues until the target is met, unless the city succumbs to plagues, debt, or outside invaders first.

Each city must be "won" before the next city in the campaign can be accessed and played. Each mission sets five targets for the city, each being a value on a rating scale. A higher target along the scale represents a higher difficulty level for the city.

There are five rating scales: population, representing simply the number of residents in the city; the culture rating, representing the population's access to city services; monuments, which represents monument completion; the prosperity rating, which represents the city's financial success; and the kingdom rating, representing the city's relations with the Pharaoh and other cities in the kingdom.
