Gameplay Mechanics Deep Dive
Get ready to master statecraft, diplomacy, and exploration in a turn-based open-world campaign. On the flip side, lead your armies across vivid Bronze Age battlefields in intense, real-time tactical battles.
Make History or Become History
The game throws you into an authentic recreation of Ancient Egypt, right down to the death of Pharaoh Merneptah. Take charge as a diplomat, commander, or warlord while battling through civilization-altering events of the Bronze Age collapse.
Customize Your Warfare
No two campaigns are alike, thanks to Campaign Customization features. Mess around with resource settings, natural disasters, and more, for a personalized gameplay experience.
Weather Impacts, So Dress Accordingly
Dynamic weather means torrential rains and sandstorms can flip the script mid-battle, so keep those strategies flexible.
Choose Your Deity, But Choose Wisely
Pledge loyalty to one of nineteen gods from various cultural pantheons. Earn gameplay bonuses for your devotion, but remember: a scorned deity is no joke.
