T
he gods are credited with much of what is good
in Egypt. They influence all aspects of an
Egyptian city, from the Nile’s floods to the suc-
cess of its industry to the health of its citizens. If you
appease them, they will reward you. Should you fail to
pay proper respect, beware. The gods act swiftly to
remind you where your attention should lie.

Five major gods are revered in Egypt, but not all are
necessarily worshiped in every city. While some cities
worship all five gods, others may worship only one or
two. Each deity influences a specific aspect of life.
Osiris.
Osiris is the God of
Agriculture and the Nile Flood.
Keeping him appeased will help
ensure that the Nile floods its banks
predictably. Ignoring him could
wreak havoc with the annual flood, making it par-
ticularly destructive or, worse, causing it not to
happen at all.
Ra.
As God of the Kingdom, Ra
influences your standing within
Egypt. He can affect trade and
other Kingdom-related matters.
Ptah.
Ptah, God of Craftsmen,
watches over industry in your city.
He can make your industries more
productive, or he can destroy them.
