With the remake on the way let's play some Pharaoh! Here is the custom mission NAFTA, North African Free Trade, and it has an insane goal of 30,000 population on a map that doesn't seem to support that. Let's play some of the iconic ancient Egyptian city-building game in this scenario and see how well we remember the gameplay with the tips and tricks we've learned through our playthrough before this.
