• PHARAOH: A NEW ERA - NEW PATCH 1.2.0 AVAILABLE NOW - 5 April 2023

  Greetings Pharaohs, Today we finally add the long awaited ultra-wide support to the game. We also wanted to improve player experience by increasing coverage of buildings, making UI improvements and more bug fixes, most notably by fixing more save corruption issues and monuments getting stuck. Added ultra-wide support We could not test every variation out there, so if you encounter any problems, please provide your feedback in the Technical Support forum so we can help you. Balancing As the way to play the game has changed a lot in almost 24 years, neighborhoods tend to be generally more optimized than what the original team intended, generating spam of specific buildings to attain desired coverage. Coverage for buildings has been increased to reduce this: Shrine: from 300 to 400 people Temple: from 700 to 900 Shrine for Patron God: from 150 to 200 Temple for Patron God: From 375 to 450…

• PHARAOH: A NEW ERA – NEW PATCH 1.1.0 AVAILABLE NOW! - 21 March 2023

  Greetings, Pharaohs. We deployed a new patch addressing some gameplay bug fixes as well as adding the highly-requested mini-map, balancing, some rework, and improvements to Pharaoh: A New Era. New Features: Added mini-map to the bottom left of the screen. Added 'Flat Mode' and 'Grid' Toggle to the mini-map. (as explained in our previous blog post, both modes already had their own key bindings: ‘F’ & ‘G’ are used by default - can be modified in the game setting) Mini-map also displays the different food available in the mission. Balancing: Regrowth of trees and reeds is now calculated every month based on resources gathered and no longer total resources on the map. Reduced the spawn rate of animals making hunters less absurdly efficient. Hunters now bring back only 10 units of hides per trip, slowing down hides production. Reduced the rate of criminal spawn - when a house generates a cri…

  Greetings everyone, We're pleased to unveil some details about the upcoming patch that includes several things (bug fixes, in-game improvements, etc.) but also the long-awaited and highly-requested mini-map feature.

We'll be forever grateful to the community for being so supportive and helping us to take things further for the sake of Pharaoh: A New Era. Now, let’s get back to the mini-map. An important and highly-requested feature The mini-map is a pretty straightforward feature as you can see in this WIP screenshot: If you click on it to move the camera, it will focus at this exact point. At this very moment, the colors are still being worked on to ensure that the m…

• PHARAOH: A NEW ERA - WORDS FROM THE DEVS #3 - 22 February 2023

  Greetings everyone, Pharaoh: A New Era launched a week ago and today we need to tell you more about what’s next for the game. First of all, we can assure you that we are working on bug fixes (saves being corrupted or any other bug that prevents mission completion). A few words about the mini-map native ultrawide support and military system: Several players voiced their concern and frustration regarding the lack of mini-map but also native ultrawide support. Today, we can confirm that we started working on both features that will provide a better player experience. Regarding the military system, we need more time to investigate and consider all improvements that could be brought to it before saying more. However, here also we can confirm that it will be improved in the future. Is there any ETA for the implementation or improvements of the features mentioned above? To be honest with you,…
