Builders Of Egypt is an economic type of city-building taking place in the valley of the Nile. The story starts in a little-known protodynastic period in which you will be able to observe the birth of the Old Egypt and finished with the death of Cleopatra VII.


The most important aspect is the skillful management of urban planning by shaping the grid of streets, placing buildings and their mutual relation. Well-designed city will greatly improve economic efficiency which may convert into city income.

Diplomacy and politics:
The governor will face very difficult choices to be made in a constantly changing political environment. Costly expeditions, Pharaoh and other cities requests, military threat and a mixture of different cultures will be a commonplace. A series of wrong choices can cost the loss of trading partners and low interest in the city by settlers. Moreover, the total lack of obedience to the rulers may end up with a civil war.


Religion:
Deity will be able to interfere with daily life but it will be done implicitly. The main aspect of religion will be satisfying the need for access to the places of worship, providing supplies for temples or organizing festivals. Neglecting this sphere may result in a dangerous social unrest on a par with e.g. famine.

Trade:
Trade is the most important element in royal treasury. Without it, it is very difficult for economic stability built solely on taxes. Therefore, in the interest of the player, producing goods for export at prices that will be able to change dynamically depending on the geopolitical situation, will be required.


Monuments:
What would the real Ancient Egypt be without its monumental sacred architecture? There are mastabas, obelisks, Karnak among others, the Ramesseum and of course the pyramids that are waiting to be built. You will be able to observe the slow process of construction. A team of carpenters, masons, architects and ordinary workers will rise building step by step. It will not be just a graphic feature - the building process is costly and will have an impact on the finances or the public mood.

War
Egypt's history is full of clashes of emerging and failing empires. You will have the responsibility of defending cities from foreign military attacks, making plans to attack and joining your forces on Pharaoh's own call.

Lot of issues, lot of potential.

TL;DR - It have potencial, but runs badly and needs tweaking to the mechanics in order to be good. I didn't expect much when I see 2.6 out of 5 ratings and I was right. I do like the idea of limited resourses. You can't build your water well anywhere. It limits you, and limitations lead to creativity, so I like that. I like you can't just spam buildings, you have to think about it. I love this kind of management city builder games, so this is right up my alley. Here are the issues: 1. Runs badly. Sub 30fps on RX480 8GB and Ryzen 1700X. Yes, 1440p, but then again, sub 30? 2. I see the potential in limiting resourses, but come on now. I could not feed my 220 population no matter what. If only I could build another fishing dock. 3. Going to the world map drops the framerate like a hot potato and it's Diekatana all over again and I get aggravated... 4. It doesn't even look all that amazing. I mean I don't usually care about looks, but this is sub 30FPS game. And the looks doesn't really justify the low framerate. I can see how a bit of work on it can turn it into a really fun and challanging city builder and I would love to see it happen. Being a demo I decided to give the devs some feedback. Good luck ;)

It's a demo.. but

I really want to like it and give it 5 stars, but sadly - for me - it just doesn't feel right. I do hope this Demo gets updated during the progress, so I can edit my review. The distribution of workers is a mystery it seems. Even though my population grows I don't get any free workers - and I didn't even build anything new apart from a few hoses which got finished and are used by new citizens also. This is kind of game breaking for me, as I am not able to trade or do anything else :(

Very limited game

Extremely limited. Can't save your game. Very clearly based off Caeser 3 / pharoh, but not as complete as games from many years ago.

beautiful, but trying to hard

Its a beautiful game for being an "demo". Howver I think its to much. To much deplomacy and trade, not enough of the build aspect. I want to see an empire grow and enjoy the play, not wonder why I can't build more jobs becuase I have no more bread, can't trade more because there is not enought production from the few jobs. Great idea, just not seeing it being worth it in the long run.
