the “R” key.
Major Plagues
Four Major Plagues can strike your city: River of Blood, Plague of Frogs, Hailstorm,
and Plague of Locusts. An angry god may send a Major Plague to your city, or they
could happen for no reason at all. For more detailed information about Plague and
the new Major Plagues, see the in-game help topic entitled “Plagues.”
Faster Pyramid Construction
All types of Pyramid (brick, stepped, bent, and regular) and Mastabas can now be
built more rapidly if you pay devoted homage to the gods in a mission. In missions
where Pyramids or Mastabas are present, any blessing from one of the five gods
may be converted into a boost to the early stages of your monument construction
project. Select whether or not you wish to play with this feature by using the
"Pyramid Speedup" entry on the Options menu.
Monuments
The new monuments you can build in
Cleopatra
missions include four types of Royal
Burial Tombs (small, medium, large and grand), the Temple of Abu Simbel, the
Pharos Lighthouse, Alexandria’s Great Library and the Caesareum.
Cliffs
The cliffs in the Valley of the Kings and at Abu Simbel provide good sites to build
Royal Burial Tombs and the Temple of Abu Simbel. No other structure can be built
on cliffs. People also cannot pass over this rugged terrain and must walk around it.

Pharaoh
and
Cleopatra.

When clicked, the name of the event turns yellow. A “yellow” event no longer displays a dialog box during play that has to be clicked shut. Instead, a passing message appears briefly along the top of the map. Don’t be surprised by one of
these selections: if you highlight the “Compliance Now Possible” event,
goods are automatically removed from your Storage Yard and sent to the
requesting city!
