This addition to the Pharaoh saga takes you through the eras of Tutankhamun, Ramses, and of course Cleopatra, as you strive to build upon the already great civilization of Egypt. Now you're faced with a difficult decision. Do you send your soldiers into battle with empty stomachs, or send some of your fighters home to work in the farms, potentially leaving too few warriors to defend your city. These are just a couple of the challenges you will face in Cleopatra , the newly released expansion pack for Pharaoh , by Impressions Games and Sierra Studios . Cleopatra requires the full version of Pharaoh to be installed before you can play.
Installation is straightforward and simple.
After installing Cleopatra , you have the option of starting on any mission from either game, regardless if you had worked your way up to it or not, so even if you didn't finish Pharaoh , you can still dive right in to Cleopatra . Most of these monuments require the use of new industries to be built. You can now grow henna on your farms, and have paint makers turn it into the brightly colored paints that you'll use to decorate the pharaoh's tombs. There is more conflict in Cleopatra as well, as you will have to fend off attacks from the growing empires of the Persians and Romans. You will also eventually help the legendary Mark Antony in his struggle against Octavian Ceaser.
