Old World – Pharaohs Of The Nile

Amidst the unforgiving sands of Africa, the Nile gave birth to mighty empires that changed the world forever. Guide the people of Egypt through 400 years of history in the Pharaohs of the Nile expansion. Unite the new Egyptian kingdom as Ahmose I, help Ramesses II the Great win the famous Battle of Kadesh, and try to survive the Bronze Age Catastrophe with Ramesses III, the last great pharaoh of the New Kingdom. Time, like the Nile itself, seeks to wash away every empire. Will you be able to stand?

The Pharaohs of the Nile expansion includes six historical Free-Run scenarios with unique characters and objectives. They are set in the New Kingdom, which existed from the 17th to the 20th Dynasty.

• Unification: Help a small regional power become one of the greatest empires of the ancient world. Send Thebes to war against the Hyksos and Kerma to unite Kemet and usher in the New Kingdom.
• Beginning of the Golden Age: Expand your territories with the Levant, Libya, and Nubia, dotting these lands with obelisks, and build the Karnak Temple and the Mortuary Temple to immortalize your name in Egyptian history.
• Amarna Period: Engage in a unique holy war for the right to create the world’s first monotheistic religion. Deal with the cults of pagan gods and take part in battles for faith and belief.
• The Battle of Kadesh: Play as Ramses II the Great and face the Hittites in the largest chariot battle in history.
• Hearts of Kemet: Infuse Ma’at into your heart and find victory in the balance. As the High Priests grow in power, it’s up to Pharaoh Merneptah to restore order to the realm.
• The Sea People: The Bronze Age catastrophe threatens everything you’ve built over 300 years. Can your empire survive this unknown threat?

The Pharaohs of the Nile expansion adds a new civilization, the Kingdom of Kush, to lead in the Old World Free Campaign. Choose one of the dynasties, build unique Kushite pyramids and expand your army with two new types of missile troops. Spread your faith by building temples, strengthen the economy of the kingdom and take advantage of the opportunity to build forts with any unit. Begin your expansion from the banks of the Nile and become the ruler of the ancient world!
