Game Archive: Children of the Nile
| Children of the Nile is an enjoyable City Building game. The premise is, you play the succession of Pharaohs of ancient Egypt, and you must give rise to the monuments of antiquity, securing a place for your name in the annals of history.The game received a warm reception at Metacritic, albiet not it’s highest rating ever. For some reason I find this historical period of Egypt to be fascinating. No doubt this fascination is widespread and what contributed to the grassroots success of TV series Stargate: SG-1.Unfortunately, the game can be completed quite easily by not attempting to build Pyramids. While their value to the growth of your prestige cannot be compared to any other single method of raising your status within the Egypt, their construction is a long and tedious process which is not made easy in the campaign scenarios where resources must be imported from afar.The steam version is mostly stable, although I have found a few instabilities running on Vista. I’m certain that it’s much more stable on XP. If only I had not converted my email to Windows Mail, I’d probably not have half the problems I have now. |    |
