A little refurbished, but feeling clunky
I'm a big fan of Pharaoh, but for a proper remaster I wish for some more comfort features like turning the map, some way to look behind other buildings (e.g. by pressing Space), better road building. Spawn-points should be moveable. It should be possible to see at first glance, which gods are mad, and not just a very slight red tint of the portrait. There should be an error message, when you have debts and can't have any more festivals, nor open a trading route. You will get loads of impressions what could be added in the steam reviews or here. AND: There should be fewer bugs and flaws! In the first missions, there was no text in the mission goals (German localization). Also, the encyclopedia in the localization has the alphabetical order of the English game. It's really nice you included other languages, even with speech output, but please fix the mentioned issues. The mission goals are a bit too cryptic for my understanding. What do I have to do, to win the mission, what is wealth rating etc.? Maybe include some mouse-over explanation. The interface feels improved, but still a little clunky. The most horrible thing that happened to me was in the Campaign "Timna". Almost before I won the mission, the game began stuttering like hell. During the stutters, the game is like frozen, and it's not possible to minimize or open the game's window. Then the game runs again for a few seconds and freeze again. The freezes become longer, when you turn up the game speed. First I thought it's my PC, but it's deffo the game. It's like the path finding or whatever breaks, when your city becomes too big or when a certain message appears. Maybe it's related to military action. All the critics mentioned above are peanuts compared to this performance mess. A minimally refurbished 24-year-old game should run flawlessly!
