Immortal Cities: Children of the Nile PC

Pharaohs, they had it easy, right? Cruising the streets in shining chariots, wrapped in gold with servants at their feet - they were easy-living kings decked in ancient Egyptian bling.

Think again. There's more to building a celebrated civilization than planting a 90-tonne obelisk in the town center. Immortal Cities: Children of the Nile shows you how it's really done.

From peasants to high priests, every person in your city lives to their own agenda. Can you do what it takes to make the people happy? Or will they turn on their bungling Pharaoh, demoralized and begging for blood at the palace doorstep?

Your ultimate triumph lies in the hands of the people you rule - every last one of them.
