Pharaoh: A New Era - publisher Dotemu and developer Triskell Interactive remake of Impressions Games' classic Ancient-Egypt-themed city builder - finally has a launch date and is coming to PC on 15th February.
The original Pharaoh, which released in the hazy mists of 1999, gave players the opportunity whizz back through time and participate in 15 centuries of Ancient Egyptian history, coaxing their fledging nomad settlements into bustling cities in classic management sim style.
At first it's just a matter of constructing a logistically sound network of housing, roads, and simple amenities to satisfy citizens' needs, but soon considerations around the likes of economy, trade, health, agriculture, education, culture, religion, and warfare come into play.
