9.5/10 - PSP Minis “If you like strategy games at all, this is a must buy. Twice I’ve played until my PSP’s battery ran out”

8/10 – Pocket Gamer “With its expansive empire-building gameplay, intuitive combat and enjoyable multiplayer mode History Egypt: Engineering an Empire packs in more content than most other iPhone titles”.

Empires are controlled from three main views: the Campaign Map shows the entire game world, including mountains, forests, coastlines, oceans, rivers, cites, and armies. The City Map gives players an overview of the structure and role of a city within the empire, and provides a basis for economic decisions. The Battle Map is to be used when diplomacy has run its course or when a city is being attacked, resulting in turn-based combat.

All nations, cities and armies were carefully researched to ensure historical accuracy. The game is accessible for new users, while offering deeper gameplay for expert players.

Features
•City development with over 50 buildings to construct
•Army management with more than 25 unit types to recruit
•Each nation has its own unique units and buildings
•9 historic campaigns with each with different objectives
•Diplomacy, wars, peace and tributes: use your skills to fight your enemies or make other countries your friends
•Hotseat multiplayer battles and campaigns

TECH SUPPORT
If you experience any locking up or crashing in the game please reboot your phone before playing. It is because the game pushes your iPhone to the limits. It uses all available memory and some other applications do not free up all the memory as they should, so when the game runs it cannot find enough spare memory. Rebooting your phone should fix any issues.

Pros and cons of HISTORY™ Egypt Engineering an Empire app for iPhone and iPad

HISTORY™ Egypt Engineering an Empire app good for

Very fun game to play! A lot of freedom to customize your armies and gameplay. Really needs an update! Freezing up and wont let me keep going through Macedonian campaign.
Thank you Slitherine! I own many of your PC games and am glad to see you make the jump to the iPhone/iPad. Excellent, thinking strategy. Atmospheric. Wesnoth (a different genre) is the only thing up to these standards in the strategy arena.
Great game. Highly recommend to any who like TBS games with more depth. Please give us "skirmish" mode and its a 5 star TBS game for sure!
The game is great, but i play with macedonians and near the end the game crashes, Ever in the same level, please fix.
I highly recommend this game. Easy to learn with tons of replayability. One of the few strategy/wargame apps in the iStore.

Some bad moments

This would be one of the best apps on iTunes but its so glitchy. I try to load a game and the game crashes; and when I enter a battle the game crashes! Otherwise- great game
Its like a glitchy poorly made version of civ, waste of money in my opinion.
