Early Access Review
Although I am very excited to play this game, It just is not a stage where it is fun for me. I will be waiting a little longer to see where the game goes.

WORKS JUST FINE WITH LATEST WINDOWS 10

This was the very first PC game I ever owned. Given to me on my 7th birthday and I STILL HAVE THE ORGINAL CD'S!

I cannot describe how good this game is. It has aged so well and is still much better than most other city builders out there. The graphics are still good, the game mechanics are fantastic, the wonders really make you strive towards goals, and can easily spend HOURS perfecting a city. So many things to consider the game will keep you constantly busy.

Unlike Ceaser and other city builders this one really just pushes you to want to keep playing towards the goals they set. I always find myself getting board of Ceaser like games. Which with every mission having to build a bigger city. Gets kinda boring. Pharaoh nailed it! I have been playing this game since 1999 and it still has never gotten old or boring for me and still offers a great challenge. I play it at least 5-7 times a year and I still have not beaten it! swearing this is the time I beat the game ahha. There is just so much game play to be had and if your an architect like me then you know your OCD really draws out the game play! haha. You will spend your time building cities, trading, fighting military conquests, building wonders from pyramids to great Alexandria library, the history of the game is pretty spot on, and the music is still fantastic to this day. There is nothing you wont like about Pharaoh other when pharaoh's army comes and destroys your town being such an incompetent ♥♥♥♥ with your finances.

For new players download the HD mod for the game here. http://www.wsgf.org/dr/cleopatra-queen-nile/en
Its so much better in 1980x1080. Just make sure that the first time you use it that you have the game set on the lowest rez BEFORE you install patch. it will crash otherwise. I have literally been playing this game my whole life so if anyone has any issues or needs help please feel free message me I get giddy when I get to discuss this game with people.

Enjoy you wont regret it!

Pretty good, but has a long way to go to being a top notch game!

Its a pretty cool concept for a game, but gets a little boring after awhile, Would be good to have this game on my Ipad or my phone. But I understand that you have to listen to what is going on the call to understand if I should hang up. Fun for a while for a casual play

I played it for an hr before refunding it. I do not think the game is quite ready for a 40$ price tag. Cities In motion is a far better game and has most of the mechanics worked out. This one is just a little too tempermental. My trains would not figure out how to get to a station if their was more than on train on the same track. Also there is many little things that just bothered me. Like when a train pulls into a station it just magically rotates to go the other way. There is only a 5 people who are copy pasted over and over. Just little things that could be changed to really give the game a polished feel and look. I would recomened looking at cities in motion before buying this one.

This is very difficult game but very fun and can easily eat up an entire night! I'd recomend it for sure! HOWEVER, if the game is early access you should not have to pay for a DLC if the game is not finished....not cool.

I have now invested quite of bit of hours into the game and I am pleased to say that this is going to be new favorite Civ game. They have taken all the good aspects of all the Civs before and have improved on them and still had space to give us new means of micro managing. The game is more engaging than ever before and there is rarely a time where I'm just waiting to hit End Turn 20 times in a row. They have added many new fine details to the game and I genuinely enjoy every one. Civ 6 is different that they have not taken away any features from civ 5 or 4 and try to sell them to you as an expansion pack later on. Civ 6 is a complete game that builds on the best aspects of both Civ 4 and Civ 5. I cannot even imagine what expansion packs they have in mind because the game is so full of detail and strategy, more than ever before.

I have not experienced any bugs that others have experienced. The game is bug free for me so far, works flawlessly, but that might be due to your rig and not the game.

The only Issue I have with the game is the Civipedia is very lacking in game play help. The history blurbs are okay but It does not help when I don’t know how to use something, as in National Parks and Archeologist. If I have to Youtube to findout how to building something, then the Civipedia is not working very well.

This diplomacy is FINALLY the way it should be there is no random world wars for no reason and it actually makes sense in my opinion.

The graphics are okay but for those Civ 5 fans you will get over it really fast because the game play is so great.

Another issue I am having is not understanding where my amenities are coming from for my cities. The information panels are so detailed that its overwhelming. I should be able to hover over my amenities in a city and it should show me what is effecting that stat, because I still have no found the panel that shows this information in a SIMPLE way.

I also miss the Demographics pages and charts to see how many people my country has and the max yield and what not. This information was always nice to have and I am not sure where to find it right now, as it is helpful when pleasing Queen Victoria.

Overall you should buy this game it is very good and I have come across no bugs other than not being able to name your city but they are changing this in an upcoming patch. Civ 6 is a true prequel and is better than Civ 5. Give it shot.

This Game is by far the best horror game I have ever played. I would spend 30 min hiding in a locker untill I was brave enough to walk outside. The noises all around me with my headphones in just added such a horific effect. GREAT GAME! but it does stress me out so i really need to be in a good mood to play it haha. dont play it if you are already stressed out .
