In one papyrus dated to 35 B.C. Cleopatra is called Philopatris, 'she who loves her country.' By identifying herself as a truly Egyptian pharaoh, Cleopatra used patriotism to cement her position.

- Pharaoh + Cleopatra bundle includes Pharaoh and Cleopatra: Queen of the Nile expansion. A city-builder gem, made by the creators of the award-winning Caesar III. Extensive help section not only does an excellent job at explaining the game mechanics, but also contains many interesting facts and trivia about life in Ancient Egypt.
- Born in Alexandria, Egypt in 69 BC, Cleopatra hailed from the Greek-speaking Ptolemaic dynasty (named after Alexander the Great's general Ptolemy) which ruled Egypt for almost 300 years. Just like any pharaoh of Egypt, her role demanded that she be a talented strategist and administrator.
Are there any news for Wineskin games on Mac OS 10.15 Catalina? I loved playing Pharaoh, but didn't realise that upgrading my computer to Catalina would make it impossible to play as Wineskin apparently doesn't work on Catalina. So looking forward to an updated version!

If you have the flickering problem, try CMD+M in the game, it ceases the flickering.

The game worked fine until one of the last missions, when completing it, the game shuts down =( I'm re-installing it now. Great game anyway, thanks for the uppload! =)

Hi everyone.
To solve the flickering screen on Mac, press cmd+alt+esc and problem solved.
If when you press them, it exits the game, then press cmd+alt+esc BEFORE launching the game. Then, on Window click Zoom, then again on Window, click on minimize and open again the game window. That's how it worked for me.

Honestly I'm surprised that so many other people enjoyed this game as much as I did. Always enjoyed RTS games but Pharoah always stood apart from the others.

Huzzah! It works! Even on my Mac! I'm so excited to relive my childhood! ^.^

Yes, I'm running it on Windows 10 and the only problem I'm have is that it freezes some times. Although, I think that is because my CD has been well loved so to speak. Don't do a full install, I ran into problems with that, click minimum install and it will install perfectly.

Cleopatra VII (Philopatris Netjeret Merites) was the last Pharaoh of ancient Egypt and the last of the (Ptolemaic dynasty). The events surrounding her rise to power, her relationships with Julius Caesar and Marcus Antonius (Mark Antony) and her tragic death continue to fascinate. Her story has been retold many times – perhaps most famously in print by William Shakespeare and on the silver screen by Elizabeth Taylor.
While the main events of her life and death are not in doubt, Cleopatra’s character remains elusive. So many of the stories told about her are impossible to verify. To some she was a debauched temptress who manipulated both Caesar and Antony to further her insatiable thirst for power, while to others she was a great scholar and stateswoman who did her best to protect the country she loved from the powerful Roman state, and who tragically outlived the two great loves of her life.
To do Queen Cleopatra of Egypt justice, and to separate fact from fiction, it is necessary to delve into her life story in detail, and to consider the different accounts given of her by friends and enemies alike. Whatever the truth about Cleopatra, this enigmatic icon continues to inspire curiosity centuries after her death.
