About
Children of the Nile™ is a unique gem of a city-building game, unparalleled in both grandeur and attention to detail.
As Pharaoh you will guide your people through thousands of years of history: from simple hunter-gatherers to the creation of an immortal civilization. Guide your people well and you will build breathtaking pyramids, explore the ancient world and wage war against your enemies.
Every inhabitant of your city is a fully developed, living person – part of an individual family and household with wants and needs. From priests to entertainers, scribes to laborers, even the royal family… everyone will need to eat and that’s just the beginning. Every block of stone that is hauled to your pyramid will be pulled by people who pray to the gods in temples of your choosing. Under your supervision, local economies will thrive as goods from reed baskets to gold jewelry will be created, purchased and enjoyed by the inhabitants of your city.
To achieve immortality a Pharaoh must look outside his city’s borders and make an impact on the world. Explore and open trade with foreign neighbors and you will have reason to build commemorative wonders that will tell the tale of your dynasty for all time. As your prestige rises so too will your ability to draw more people to your ambitious endeavors and build cities that are truly epic.
How will your dynasty be remembered?

No me funciona. Es una pena
A very well-made city simulation game. Like all other city simulation game, It has a lot of resources and game mechanic that one need to learn, which can be a bit challenging considering how the game immediately pushes all to you. Thankfully, the tutorial helps and the guidebook provided within the game also proves to be very helpful. Additionally, the Egyptian aesthetic is extremely beautiful and rich in culture, providing one a very good start in learning the Ancient Egyptian civilization, culture, and how they life. If you love city-building games, you should try out this game. If you love Ancient Egyptian culture, this is definitely worth checking out too.

J’y ai joué énormément à l’époque… avant même que Steam ne soit dans ma vie. Oui, je suis un dinosaure. 🦖 À l’époque, c’était un top dans sa catégorie : gestion, construction, ambiance égyptienne immersive, tout y était. On y passait des heures à bâtir des cités, à gérer ses habitants, et à admirer ses pyramides prendre forme. Aujourd’hui, il est toujours là, toujours plaisant… mais dites-vous bien que vous jouez sur un fossile par rapport à ce qui existe maintenant. Les mécaniques et les graphismes accusent leur âge, et on sent que le genre a évolué depuis. Note : 6/10 – Un morceau d’histoire vidéoludique à redécouvrir si vous aimez la gestion “à l’ancienne”.
It's not a bad city-builder. What's not to love about ancient Egypt?
это лучшая стратегия по Древнему Египту, которую я знаю. Прекрасные и детализированные анимации, которым и в подметки не годятся анимации, казалось бы новенькой стратегия Pharaoh: New Era. Рабы таскают известняк, строятся насыпи во время постройки чего то крупного, да и в целом здесь для каждого вида деятельности собственная анимация. Механик здесь очень много. Настолько, что, пускай и не при торопливой игре, на прохождение обучения у меня ушло 4 часа. Единственное, механика рабов относительно реалистичности подкачала: рабы не выполняли функцию строителей, а уж тем более пирамид, мастаб etc. Такими делами занимались квалифицированные рабочие, и не под зорким взглядом надсмотрщика, а под руководством архитектора. 9 Нармеров из 10.
Sice nikdy jsem neměl tu čest hru dohrát až do konce, ale jako malý jsem pořád stavěl a nevěděl ani vlastně co, po letech jsem se navrátil, nemám co vytknout, pod windows 11 funguje suprově s kombinací i7-12650H a RTX 3070 mobile 8 GB VRAM a 16 GB DDR5 s 512 GB Nvme SSD snad se mi podaří někdy dohrát dokonce jako HoMaM3 což jsem nikdy taky nedohrál, ale zpátky, hra mě na staré roky pohltila a konečně jsem pochopil, vše má svoji cestu. :-) (Jen díky nepodporované CZ lokalizaci by bylo vše snazší). Ale změnil jsem názor na hry v ENG a jsou Super! Jen můj ENG skill byl moc low). Byl jsem nevyzrálý malý smrad co jen pařil Lineage2 !!!!!!!!
A wonderful & old, but very chill game, sadly abandoned and in desperate need of a remake or a remaster. By 2025 standards, the graphics are obviously not great, and pathfinding is buggy. Gameplay is neat, but the technical experience is not fun (graphical glitches, performance issues, etc). You're sort of rolling the dice if you're buying it, but if it works for you, and you're into city builders, you're probably going to enjoy it. If the devs make a modern reboot, my guess is I'd probably be a hit.
Temática y jugabilidad
昔のグラだが面白い。 このゲームのコツがわかれば、 箱庭ゲームの中でも面白い方に入る。 トロピコの初代やった後にやってみると別の面白いんじゃないでしょうか。 そのくらいの出来のゲームです。
в детстве был диск но игра не запускалась как то увидел в рекомендациях и решил восполнить пробел) построить пирамиду и красивый город как метал в детстве) может доберусь и до других стратегий которые не успел
