Bazaars as we know them would not arrive in Egypt until Arab conquests that took place hundreds of years after the latest dates in the game.As its name implies, the game is set in Ancient Egypt, and in campaign mode it follows the exploits of several dynasties throughout history.
![]() Triskell Interactive and Dotemu developed a Videogame Remake Called Pharaoh: A New Era for 2021.

In what is probably a subversion, the approval rating that matters more is the one from the Pharaoh, not the people: piss him enough to 0 Kingdom Rating (i.e. This also happens if you are the Pharaoh, so you apparently attack yourself. Your citizens, too. They will desert your city if their wages are low, the taxes are high, there is a serious lack of jobs, they dont have enough food to eat, you dont throw in Festivals every now and then. Failing to appease them properly can result in sudden drop of reputation (Ra), destruction of farms (Osiris), destruction of goods (Ptah), sudden death of soldiers (Set) and mass plague (BastBastet). ![]() In our history, Itjtawy was founded by Amenemhat I, the first Pharaoh of the Twelfth Dynasty, who did indeed usurp the throne. Acceptable Breaks from Reality: Buildings are built instantly, but they cant actually produce anything until they have workers and materials. Labor is taken from the workforce as a whole - shut down an industry and all those previously working there will be employed elsewhere, regardless of the nature of employment. Added Alliterative Appeal: To the marsh we march, for the reed we need. Almighty Janitor: The Pharaoh will entrust the building of his new capital and eternal resting to a mere Royal Architect - simply because you (and your descendants) are just that good at city building. Alternate History: The game is more-or-less historical from the era of the Naqada culture and Thinite confederacy prior to 3000 BC until approximately 2000 BC, and the beginning of the Twelfth Dynasty. At that point, the players dynasty takes control of the throne of Egypt and holds it for the rest of the game, into what our history records as the Eighteenth Dynasty; the last missions you play in the vanilla game are clearly intended to represent the exploits of Ahmose I, who reigned in the mid-sixteenth century BC. The Cleopatra expansion quietly retcons the notion of a single dynasty holding Egypt for half a millennium, and the first mission has you building a tomb - the very first tomb - in the Valley of the Kings for Thutmose I, Ahmoses grandson from the historical Eighteenth Dynasty. However, the game does revisit alternate history, as the very last mission in the game is the Battle of Actium. The win condition is a victory by the combined forces of Antony and Cleopatra. In our history, Octavian won the battle, and went on to become Romes first emperor. The Sphinx is the most noticeable (it ends up doing a 180), and only mastabas are exempt. Amusing Injuries: When working on an obelisk, stonemasons will occasionally fall off the scaffolding. Anachronism Stew: You use the modern calendar, despite being in Ancient Egypt.
