Names of various pharaohs are used with the appearance of historical characters from Egypt's ancient history, and limited encyclopedic information about ancient Egyptian practices is provided in the game's help menu and instruction booklet. While the game uses the deben as its currency, no standardized metal currency is known to have been used in Ancient Egypt.
Although the puzzle -like aspect of Pharaoh keeps the simulation far from realistic, the game stays true to the chronological order and timing of major events in the history of Egypt, including monument construction, wars and national disasters, the births and deaths of notable leaders, and the founding and fall of ancient cities.
The game features two modes of play — campaign and free-build. In campaign mode, players focus on establishing cities during different periods of Ancient Egypt, initially working on nomad settlements, before being entrusted with building up trade centres, grand cities and monuments for various Ancient Egyptian leaders.
As campaign mode progresses, players earn promotions until they become the Pharaoh themselves. Players operate in five periods of Ancient Egyptian history six with the inclusion of Cleopatra , with the first period acting as a basic tutorial.
In later periods, players get a choice between two missions, usually peaceful and military alternatives, but only one of the two needs to be completed to move on in the campaign. In free-build mode, players are given a choice of around a dozen standalone scenarios. Some do not have win conditions, allowing open-ended "sandbox" city-building, whereas others present goals to attain. A map editor is provided with the game to facilitate the creation of user-designed scenarios for this mode.
Pharaoh simulates many aspects of Egyptian life and city management. While many of the elements of the game, from housing to industry, are borrowed from Caesar III , the game distinguishes itself with differences and new features. Housing will automatically be improved, including in appearance, when demands for goods, services and desirable surroundings are fulfilled.
Peace is replaced with a new goal, "Monument", which focuses on a player's efforts to establish the monuments needed within their city; players will usually be given the knowledge of the monuments they need to build during a briefing of their next mission. In terms of farming, floodplain farms are a new feature built near the Nile River. Fishers operate in boats, usually situated in the Nile. Hunting is a new feature in Pharaoh ; animals to be hunted are present on the game map.
A wide variety of raw materials and manufactured goods are available in Pharaoh. Materials include clay, which is manufactured into pottery; reeds, which are manufactured into papyrus; [3] and various types of stone. On some city maps, the raw materials necessary to produce certain goods are unavailable, so importing sometimes expensive materials is necessary.
Exports are often necessary to produce money for city finances. And adding quality of life features, fixing bugs, and overhaul the accessibility was the best thing we could do.
And it is one of those games that you love to share with people, and that you can share with people who do not usually play that much. Personally, it is a game my parents were perfectly content watching me play, which did not happen that often. Nowadays, any game that old does not hold up to certain standards today and sharing becomes more complicated.
But if a new generation of kids can discover Pharaoh like we did 20 years ago, we will be the happiest people in the world. As I understand, the gameplay is identical to the original. Did you improve anything, add anything, balance anything? What part did Seaven Studio play in this remake? But in the details, there are many changes and adjustments. We cannot talk about all of them, and some of the players will never really see them.
