Product Description

From the Manufacturer
Immortal Cities: Children of the Nile is a leap forward in the city-building genre, from the designer of Pharaoh. Immortal Cities is a game where eventually hundreds of citizens, each with their own individual free will and lives, affect your city-building decisions and your ability to build a nd rule an empire.

Create an empire by providing for your people, and make your mark on history.

From hunter-gatherers to immortal civilization. Watch your people go about thei r daily lives; make the right decisions and help them, and society, move forward.

Lead your people. Immortal Cities: Children of the Nile is the first and only strategy game where citizens, who behave like living, independent beings, are your primary resource. Power and prestige cannot be purchased, they must be earned.

Build your dynasty over 2,000 years. The fate of civilization is in your hands- -you must balance your own ambition with your people's needs. The monuments you ask them to build are a testament to the prestige you have among your people.

Features:

  • First historic city-building game featuring an immersive 3D graphics engine
  • In-game AI, based on human nature, creating a real connection to life-like people
  • Erect breathtaking monuments to commemorate your achievements and adorn you r city
  • Explore and combat neighboring provinces or expand through diplomacy and trade
  • Expansive, customizable choice of Campaigns and Map Editor

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent game, but don't expect another Pharaoh, 6 Feb 2005
By Mrs. G. Bilski "GillB" (Bucks, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a wonderfully absorbing game which brings historic citybuilding to a new level.

You are Pharaoh and need to build beautiful cities to reach certain targets. That's roughly where the similarity to previous citybuilders ends. Children of the Nile is a society builder. All your people have minds of their own: their own needs, desires and aspirations and, of course, their own gripes and whinges. Meanwhile you, as Pharaoh, need continually to increase your prestige so it's better than any previous Pharaoh; not to mention that additional prestige enables you to employ more educated workers such as priests, scribes, overseers and commanders who provide things to make your citizens' lives better and to further increase your prestige.

The game is 3D, built from the Empire Earth engine, but almost unrecognisable as such. You can look down on your thriving (hopefully) city from afar, or zoom down to one of your citizens and follow him or her while he/she goes about his/her daily life.

The reporting mechanisms are fairly minimal but perfectly adequate for what you need to know. The thing to remember is that no-one is going to be happy all the time. Your task is to make sure that most people are happy most of the time. Also that building a hospital today isn't going to make your farmer who broke his leg last week and couldn't have treatment any happier ... though is unhappiness will fade over time, just as it would in real life.

It's good to have a game again where I can be so absorbed that I suddenly realise it's morning and I have no idea what happened to night.

4.0 out of 5 stars One step forward, two steps back., 1 Sep 2005
Children of the Nile (CotN) is a graphics masterpiece continuing in the theme of Pharaoh, but unfortunately the game itself lacks some of the features of its predecessor. Instead, CotN glows in the scenery it has created, and this in itself is so good that it holds the gamer for some time. It is just when you spend a few days playing, you realise that the game's structure is weaker than Pharaoh or Caesar which are now classic games available from most budget sections of a games store (or Amazon of course). I would say that you must buy this game and play it just for the amazing views you can have of the city you just created. Zoom in, zoom out, fly high or walk along the streets of your city with a citizens-eye view at the click of a mouse. Fantastic. But dont expect to be stretched too much in tactics or strategies.

3.0 out of 5 stars Children in denial, 18 Jul 2005
Children of The Nile

This game has been a rush job, this is self evident by the patches to download from the Sega website. The gameplay has a rough feel to it and realy needs refining to turn it from a good game to a great game. The unhelpful help files are a waste of disk space. The game is based on a currency of food and the food ledger informs you how much food the workers need, but the priests, scribes & etc can take as much as they like so there is not much point in planning how much food you need as the calculations are impossible.

The writers claim that there are too many variables to work out how much of any type of goods a unit will make, fair point, but they could have said that when they reach a certain amount they will stop producing.

This game will certainly give you hours of enjoyment and, in some cases frustration but a classic it isn't.

This is a new concept on the God game scene and is worth having a go at, if you are good at this game you should never have any financial worries again as you will develop all the skills necessary to do some real creative accounting.

I do however look forward to see if their next effort is more polished.

Okay..... I'm gonna be a bit controversial here. I was wild on Pharaoh when it came out, and later on Emperor; so when I saw this I bought it immediately. Read more
