Embark on a Legendary Journey along the Nile
In the unforgiving African deserts, the mighty Nile River gave birth to powerful empires that left an indelible mark on the ancient world. Take charge of the Egyptian people as you guide them through more than four centuries of history in Pharaohs of the Nile. Lead the New Kingdom as Ahmose I, rewrite the epic Battle of Qadesh as Ramesses the Great, and confront the challenges of the Bronze Age Collapse as the last great Pharaoh of the New Kingdom, Ramesses III. Just like the ever-flowing Nile, empires must rise and fall – will yours endure the test of time?
