It's okay. Immortal Cities: Children of the Nile claims to be the first rotatable 3D RTS simulation game in history, so I respect that. The game was promoted as something unique to others in that it doesn't focus so much on violent depictions of warfare but instead, the daily activities of individuals (farming, mining, construction, etc.) My first turn-off while playing, was realizing how easily your citizens can turn against your leadership based on factors that you can't control like the weather. For example, if you have a poor Harvest because the Nile River fails to flood like expected, the farmers will become upset and might quit their jobs. You cannot force them to work and jobs seem to be decided at random (like a Lottery). In this scenario, you lack adequate farmers, which in turn negatively affects other classes of people in your civilization. Likewise, if you lack the necessary amount of Landlords, you cannot collect taxes from your farmers. Even after multiple seasons with excellent weather, your Economy could still be a wreck! In short, the Economy is intertwined so closely that either everyone is experiencing prosperity and happiness, or alternatively everyone is destitute and angry. I like games that put the chance of success in the Player's hands, and not due to random events like the Weather Cycle. However, despite all this, the game is not terrible and might be suitable for a younger audience.Read full review

I bought this game because i have the game Pharaoh and love it. The chance to buy a more dimensional game by the same people I could not pass. This is a city building game, you have the ability to get right down there and see such detail of houses, people, it is great, seeing buildings being built is neat. With this game the decisions you make affect people and their ability to make a livelihood, or even if they want to stay in your city. My mistake was doing to many buildings, because this is in sense a real time game, it takes time for things to get done, be careful you could loose your throne. I really enjoy this game.
one of my favorite games to play glad i got this item

Immortal Cities: Children of the Nile is one nice simulated city building game! In the game you are Pharaoh and job is to build and prosper your small Egyptian village into the vast and expansive empire! You will rule your seemingly real people as you explore new regions, create trade, and conquer your enemies. Tilted Mill Entertainment has created a superior blend of graphics and real life behavior.
