Similar to any other God-Sim, the key to progress is in the finances. After choosing a set of parameters and modes from the main menu, the player controls an Egyptian settlement. In compliance with history, the player starts off as a leader of a nomad tribe, and gradually climbs up the social ladder, to end up as the Supreme Ruler of Egypt-the Pharaoh.
