If you ever enjoyed the old Sierra games like Pharaoh, Caesar, Emperor, Zeus etc - then you will *love* this game. Its like a modern update. Developers are actively improving the game all the time. It can be a little tricky to master, but easy to learn.

thanks a lot man , my age doesn't go as far as caesar but i have played the caesar 3 , it is really enjoying , and peacefull - does this game support mods ? which you can add and remove mechanics or items and building to the game ? aside from the base game modding is a important thing for me in games

Does it have sound effects (eg. rolling carts, hammering, sawing, cutting wood)? Or is there just background music?

I don't think its a good buy ... there's other builders out there that are much better and enjoyable. There are aspect of this game that are just absolutely annoying as hell, and they don't have to be. I bought the game for less than lunch at McDonalds, so I really can't complain ... but if I'd paid what they asked for out the gate, I'd be pissed.

And yes, I was a huge Ceasar fan ... that was the 1990s, this is 2021. In none of my games am I pleading for a 1990s approach to their design.

The game has a nice look but for me it just crashes every time after a couple of minutes of play. I got no support from the developers, just a mail saying that it must be something with my computer, despite I don't have an issue running 30 other games... then they stopped replying... So is it worth buying? Not for me - had to request a refund.

Hi, we did not stop responding. We just currently do not know how to help you. We did not say it must be something with your computer, but it's probable because we did not encouter this problem with someone else. Unfortunately currently there are stuff we need to focus on more. If we get any idea what the problem could be, we will contact you. But we completely understand if you'd like refund the game for now.

Yes, the game has very similar sound effects like in Caesar III/Paharo. I had to adjust the audio settings to get the right balance. The music is too loud in the standard setting.

I would recommend the game if you like those old city builders like Phoroah or Caesar III. Its an improvement in nearly every single way over those old games.

Saying this game is an "improvement" over Pharaoh in nearly every single way is terribly untrue. While this game does have some "improvements", imho it isn't nearly as good as the original Pharaoh. I find the system used to transport and distribute goods to be very clumsy. I also do not like the way you have to manage industry. Hiring and removing additional workers and transporters with each industry/distributor is unnecessary, and simply seems an attempt to "solve" some problems with Pharaoh, but instead creates more problems than the original (roadblock use in Pharaoh is critical, and very easy). We all want these style of games to be as good as the original Sierra games, and this game honestly tries to be (the developer is dedicated, active and obviously hard-working), but saying Nebuchadnezzar is an improvement in every way is simply not the case.

I too am a very huge fan of pharaoh and yes this game is not quite as good as that yet it is still being modified to make it better.. I found it very enjoyable when i got use to the differences..Still a great game overall..
