Egypt isn’t a badly done civ, but it’s always struck me as relatively passive and unexciting (which I suppose is good for a starter civ, but I want my Egypt to be exciting darnit!). They receive an uninspiring (but not weak) bonus to constructing districts and wonders next to rivers. The damage from their floods is just negated with no extra changes, which ironically makes those events less interesting than they would be for other players. hardly fitting for a people who relied so heavily on the flooding of the Nile.

Plus, I hate the Sphinx conceptually. It feels a bit like giving France a gargoyle for a tile improvement if you ask me. It’s been removed, and it ain’t coming back.

So this reworks changes things up a bit. While this reworked Egypt still revolves around rivers and floods, you will have to actively plan to make the most out of their new abilities; and if done well, you will reap much more impressive rewards.

Egypt

Unique Ability: Season of Inundation

For every other district of the same type built along the same river, City Centers receive +1 Amenity, and specialty Districts provide +1 of the appropriate yield. Tiles are immune to Flood Damage, and specialty Districts next to a river provide a burst of the appropriate yield whenever the river floods.

Unique District: Set-Ma’at

A district unique to Egypt that is cheaper and available earlier than the district it replaces, the Industrial Zone.

+1 Production from a tile containing a River edge. +1 Production for every two adjacent Farms. After unlocking Apprenticeship, +1 Production for every two adjacent Mines, and +1 Production for every adjacent Quarry. +1 Production for every adjacent Farm after researching Buttress.

Only provides Great Engineer Points with Apprenticeship. +50% adjacency bonus while the city is constructing a Wonder.
