No specific release date beyond 2021 has been set yet, but you can wishlist it on Steam if you’d like to get a nice little notification when it comes out. Pharaoh: A New Era will include 50 single-player missions when it launches in 2021. “This was something that was in the original game – we don’t know if it was really intended, but players discovered it and used it, so we are keeping that in the remake.” Pharaoh includes many features never before seen in a city building game, such as a farming model based on the flooding of the Nile, naval warfare. Beat various puzzles, collect various jewels, manage and destroy obstacles in. “There are ways to never have to use roadblocks, to make your walker walk hundreds of tiles before coming back to the building by abusing priorities and stuff like that,” one developer told us. Welcome to Jewels Pharaoh, a world where jewels grow plentiful and bountiful. Savvy road and building placement allowed players to exert more control over where walkers were placed and how far their routes would take them, and Triskell says it’s building that back into this new version of the game. Structures like farms, temples, and papyrus workshops send out ‘walkers’ once they’re built, and these walkers recruit workers when they reach a housing area. One of those has to do with abusing the building AI. They’ve gone so far as to leave in specific soft exploits that high-level Pharaoh players figured out in the original game.
While Pharaoh: A New Era has a brand-new code base – it’s being rebuilt from the ground up – Triskell’s developers want to make sure that veteran Pharoah players will feel at home in the new version. You’ll have to plan your agriculture around the regular flooding of the Nile, and produce crops and products that sustain your city or make for attractive exports to neighboring areas. As in the Caesar games, the object was to optimise the placement of housing, recruitment facilities, production and supply lines, and entertainment in order to make the best use of your given territory. In Pharaoh, your job is to manage an Egyptian settlement on the Nile. Managing resources and deploying them into the right areas is a big part of success and progression in the classic game.
The game puts players over the construction and management of cities and settlements in ancient Egypt. The star of the show is the total graphical overhaul – while A New Era maintains the 2D isometric perspective of the original, new hand-drawn characters, buildings, and environments mean this new version of Pharaoh will be right at home on modern 4K monitors. Pharaoh was originally published by Sierra Entertainment and released in 1999. No specific release date has yet been set for Pharaoh: A New Era, but we had the opportunity to view a hands-off demo with the developer, which showcased much of what’s new for this edition of the classic management game.
