Ah, fond memories... I had to fax the NDA to the devs and wait for them to send me the dvd. xD And I remember being upset that I wasn't put in the same testing pool as my friends were. Being a fangirl of Greek mythology this was my second favourite city builder game from this company. The art was pretty (but not as pretty as Emperor) and the game play fun. Seeing the deities walking around was a bit of an oddity since none of the previous games had it.

I helped beta test Cleopatra, Zeus and Children of the Nile, Tilted Mill games put out fantastic city builders. Us regulars to the games always hoped they would make more historical games, but after the China setting none materialized. Sadness. I loved the Pharoah games, but if you want an even better ancient Egypt city builder, get Children of the Nile. All the wonkiness of the original game was corrected or removed.
