What players say

33% of 509 reviews are positive · 18% of 11 in the last 30 days

Players praise the Egyptian setting and the planning involved in building cities. The most common complaint is that firehouses and architects' posts fail to take on workers, leaving buildings vulnerable to fire and collapse. Players say the problem appeared after an update and persists in recent reviews; some also report roads failing to connect to farms.
