You assign your limited number of workers to different tiles on the map to gather resources like food, materials, and manpower. Efficiently utilizing and managing these resources is crucial, as you must balance production, construction, military, and other needs. Carefully placing workers and investing in tile improvements can yield significant boosts to resource generation.

As your tribe grows, you must explore and expand into surrounding territories, interacting with neighboring tribes through trade, diplomacy, or conquest. The ultimate goal is to unify Upper and Lower Egypt under your rule, which requires navigating political and military challenges. Decisions around assimilating or subjugating other tribes can have significant impacts on your progress.

Real historical events and challenges, such as droughts, floods, rebellions, and invasions, are woven into the gameplay. How you respond to these challenges can greatly influence the trajectory of your civilization. You must also work towards key historical milestones, like the construction of the Great Pyramids.
