I've loved this game for years. The strategy makes you think. I know it's older but I love the nostalgia of playing this game from when I was youngers

This game is easy to play and interesting to me. I love being able to create my own campaigns and appreciate that there is some real history to be learned here too.

I played this game way back when, and I loved it, but lost the CD for it. When I found it on steam, I was happy, and played it for many dozens of hours, but set it down for a few years. Then, yesterday, I got the itch and booted it up. Turns out, none of the building animations work anymore. Reinstalling doesn't fix it. This breaks the feel of the game, you can't tell who has employees or not, who is working, what...

Keeps introducing new stuff through the missions. A few awkward moments here and there, but limits nurture creativity. Enjoying the smalltalk with the city dwellers, and ohhh of course those transforming and merging houses are so satisfying. A comfy summer game.

A monument of city builder games, still enjoyable in my opinion, 25 years later. Altough it struggles with modern screen setups, and lacks some little QoL functions common in modern games, but otherwise still very robust gameplay experience.

Classic city building/city management. Very straightforward but a good depth to the game.

I love this game and have been playing since it originally came out. I do recommend this game. I hope that they will release Emperor also.

I began playing this when I weas a teenager, back before Pharaoh had the Cleopatra expansion pack. Games like this, Civilization, and Age of Empires had a knack for fully immersing me. I've never beaten the expansion pack portion of this, but it's a goal for me this year. I just really feel like committing the time required to do it finally. There's just so much to love. In particular, the music, the voice acting,...
