Survival & Time Limit MissionsSeveral missions included with Queen of the Nile have a time limit. There are twotypes of timed missions:

Survival Mission: Your city must still exist when the mission automatically ends at the end of the given time limit, and you must meet or exceed all required ratings. The survival missions are Migdol, Tanis, Maritis and Actium.

Time Limit Mission: You win immediately upon meeting or exceeding all required ratings. If you have not met the rating requirements by the end of the time limit, you will have to restart the mission and try again. The time limit missions are Tut inthe Valley, Qadesh and Alexandria.

The amount of time you have left, listed in months, is noted in red in the upper left corner of the screen.

EntertainmentZoos provide a place for your citizens to view wild animals without the fear of being mauled by them! A Zoo needsgame meat and straw for feeding the beasts and providesentertainment for 7,500 people. Any mission requiring a CultureRating of 75 or more needs at least one Zoo.

Changes to Original MissionsThe Zoo is now available in the original game missions Bubastis and Hetepsenusret.It is necessary to build at least one Zoo in each of these missions in order to attain therequired Culture Rating.

Enemies Assyrians, Persians, Phoenicians and Romans will do their best to destroy your cities.The Romans, however, are occasional allies. In one mission, you play as Caesar’sRomans – allied with Cleopatra – fighting her brother’s rebellious Egyptian army.

BeastsIn the arid regions you will need to watch out for scorpions. In the normal climes youmust be wary of roaming lions, and in the tropical regions look out for deadly asps!

CommoditiesNew commodities that you will see are henna, oil, lamps, paint and white marble.
