The monument-building mechanic continued into all future city builders, but in alternate methods. The game introduced the concept of monument building for the first time, marking a major gameplay addition that was not seen previously. As such, many features and additions to Pharaoh were unique to the game, such as flood plains, which were not seen in any future release. Pharaoh follows the historical path of the Ancient Egyptians and the large empire that they created in Egypt.
