Day of the Pharaoh

_Nil Dieu Vivant_ (also known as _Day of the Pharaoh_ ) is an action-oriented
strategy game set in ancient Egypt.

You start as descendant of the Pharaoh who was exiled from his kingdom. Your
mission is to return to Cairo and claim the throne that is your birthright.
You have to prove your worth to the people of Egypt by conquering neighboring
lands and defending your kingdom from attack.

You can make offerings to various Egyptian gods in hopes of divine aid, marry
a bride to ensure that your line will continue if you fall in battle, wage
wars with neighboring countries, and so on. To construct the various
buildings, you will need to find different types. Your starting city will not
have all the raw materials available, so you will be forced to conquer your
neighbors early on.

Combat takes place action-style. You will ride in a royal chariot, shooting
arrows at the invaders who will throw lances at you. Divine favors, when they
are granted, can result in complete annihilation of your enemies, but those
are very rare and depend mostly on luck.
