1:06:41 is my favorite on this soundtrack. It really gives you the sense of a flourishing city, everyone is busy building, selling, etc., or there's a festival happening at the square. Also musically, I just love the progression of the song with different keys and crescendoing to the end, it's almost rocklike at the climax. The arrangement is probably the most modern-sounding of the soundtrack, you can hear a "bass", a "guitar", a "violin", a woodwind instrument, and drums, along with many harmonies and polytonalities.
Back in the day, I found the game's music files and put them in my iTunes. Most of the files had odd names, so I renamed them to what I thought they sounded like - "Sunrise," "Camel ride," "River Journey," etc. Well, the one you mentioned that plays at 1:06:41 - I had to check. I had named it.... "The Flourishing City" 🤯
@@GeekyKara Little did you know that the "odd names" were already descriptive. Most of them are transliterated Egyptian (if sometimes a bit iffy) I was so excited when I first realised that.
@@GeekyKaraYeah it's such a fun little touch. Some of them really fit too, like the one about a festival or the growing one. Unfortunately the one you and OP were discussing (sthA) is one of the iffy ones. At least to me and I am still very much an amateur at it, so others will probably know better. I've seen sthA translated as "tempt/seduce" but I've been unable to verify that myself. The only thing using the same signs that I've been able to find relates to mandatory corvee. Interpreting that as a busy city hard at work is probably too much of a stretch. xD I do like the idea of there being a typo and it actually meaning "to make dazzle". Would be great if there was still someone around who could tell us what the intended meaning was.
44:15 Heard during one of first Middle Kingdom missions- first intermediate period. You can hear that glory has passed away, famine has struck the whole country, internal conflicts are increasing, people are rioting. But... there is still hope. We have to pray to Osiris and Ra, and trust to wise beloved Pharaoh.
It is ok, but somehow I like way more the basic game with hd mod - mainly for one is used to the old building menus and somehow the new version felt like it needs more clicking in order to achieve similar complexity. No issue to me with the updated graphics,I liked a lot the "do not touch the core mechanics" aspect but at least to me I still prefer the old thingie if I want few hours of escapism🙃 the crew that made the amazing Augustus update to Caesar iii should be in charge of pharaoh as Augustus is arguably the best or at the very least among the 3-4 most essential balance/UI friendly/refreshing mods ever made Like Augustus,openRCT,PD2,Equilibris -these should be the bare minimum baseline for updating an old classic game
28:33 Mi parte favorita, cuando la ciudad estaba en todo su esplendor... esta canción sonaba como un carnaval, hasta daban ganas de estar ahí en egipto tirando bloques de granito.
This is also my favourite song. It's upbeat and makes me feel peppy, and I love the fact you can hear people reacting to the music; that REALLY brings it to life~! Also I would joke with my daughters that the bongo drums were being played by cats. ( Ancient Egypt adored their cats, almost as much as we do lol )
@@EmisoraRadioPatio It's been so long since I've played it but these are what I can remember. Can't rotate the map. Buildings just don't work such as a bug in mission 4 or 5 involving fisheries. Not starting completely for some buyers. Police and soldiers no longer fend wild beasts and crocodiles off. Battles are just an animation over who has more units. They had three years to iron this out and they still stuck with these bugs and troubles. If you REALLY want it, get it on sale or once some patches go through.
One of the 2 soundtracks that defined my childhood and life later on - the second one being also video game music "Warhammer 40,000 Chaos Gate"! I come back to them regularly just to find out I like them more and more each time - also because learning musical skills, gives broader perspective on those pieces!
One of the most brilliant soundtracks given to a deserving game from the golden age of gaming...as of today i always keep it installed with few other classics like hommiii and open rct (didn't like that much the modern version of pharaoh,way more i adore the original with basic hd mod) I am by no means a game historian or such but to me at least it was (along with caesar iii) the first "sandbox" game - just have fun ,regardless of level goals (that were usually quite trivial) And play lets say finish it asap,or go as close to the food or any resource limit as possible,or whatever goal ...even arbitrary one as just make a "pretty" city🙃and always was pleasure to hear for 1001th time these tunes Hope the heroes orchestra guys will one day pay homage to this little musical journey too😊 Anyway thanks for the sweet memories...of yet another replay not being sure whether i'd try new Rowarty or Hetepsenusret or many many many lovely maps before🙏 Bubastis i liked so much😅 the kitty city Or Baki ...enormous industrial base possible Or some of the crazy maps of cleo wtf Trully amazing game well deserved the astounding dedication of fans and well worth being played some 20+ years after launch... a feat that seems unattainable for even the most exquisite titles of today🙃 The only major issue is that 50:16 is way too short
@@AsteroidTVGaming Fantastic news! My mom loved this game back in the day and played it for years until Windows 10 came out. She'll get a kick out of the remastered version for sure!
one of the best osts for me... actually the number one i think, RTCW comes second =) maybe I am just old but not many modern games come as close with music
How much I wish they'd given Emperor a sequel in Japan, India or, now that I'm thinking about it, the Mongolian expansion, since they became emperors. And then another game centered on Mesopotamia or even Israel (replacing gods with YAHWE and quests with biblical events… COME ON, JEWS, DROP A FEW SHEKELS so we can make a great game :-) ) And of course, others about Russia, from early Slavic tribes to the conquest of Siberia ! Why did Sierra have to disappear like that ?…………
Emperor is the end of an era, after that, no one made this kind of game anymore. Therefore, it's made Emperor the last in line, the glorious of the goldern age, before the dark time.
1:03:21 this song is genuinely haunting to me. all i can see are desolate shores and washed over farms, and the scary faraway part of the map with the hippos that i never got to by the time i closed the game
Wonderful you decided to upload this soundtrack- so many childhood memories! Any chances to upload rest of the series: Zeus and Poseidon, and Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom too?
Super awesome game! This was released on the best era of strategy and rpg games! They had a very high difficulty, they were inmersive and long enough to learn about ancient cultures!

Best city building game ever. So many memories, I need to play it again.
They’re remaking the game with updated graphics. Looks awesome from the previews.
@@Alex90680 I know it, I played a demo only available for a week. It looks too much like cartoons for my taste, looking forward for the final release.
They’re bringing out a new remastered version soon!
Good times friend , good times...

The artist did a fantastic job writing this music.
To the marsh I march for the reeds we need!
My dream one day is to visit Egypt, stand in front of the pyramids and open this soundtrack
I did this exact thing today!
Wish u dream come true .
Now I want it too)
Wonder if there is an Egyptian reading this living near the Giza plateau, and now wants to do this... XD
I have done it with Caesar 3 soundtrack at the Colosseum! I live 50 kms away from Rome ! 😁
just be sure they don't take your phone when you try it, they do it all the time
jesus christ i spent so much time building cities in egypt with this game
..."I have to go clear across the City with these goods!"..
Just admit it, you came for this track :) 1:06:41 - sthA
no, im ripping the new remake games audio and funny enough it has the exact same names
1:00:02 - Setup

A lot of good memories. I used to play this game 13 - 15 years ago but still remember this sounds.
Important to note they will launch an OFFICIAL REMAKE in Steam called Pharaoh: A New Era, including the original game and its expansion.
Thank you so much for this information!
don't get it, just get the original.
@@legofanguyvid Was it not good?
@@EmisoraRadioPatio It's been so long since I've played it but these are what I can remember.

@@legofanguyvid Aw man. I'll stick with Pharaoh and Cleopatra then. Thanks!
This game is as eternal as the Nile. I just purchased this off of Steam, and it runs pretty damn smooth on a Win11 pc. Incredibly well done game.

Hope the heroes orchestra guys will one day pay homage to this little musical journey too😊
Anyway thanks for the sweet memories...of yet another replay not being sure whether i'd try new Rowarty or Hetepsenusret or many many many lovely maps before🙏 Bubastis i liked so much😅 the kitty city
Or Baki ...enormous industrial base possible
Or some of the crazy maps of cleo wtf
Trully amazing game well deserved the astounding dedication of fans and well worth being played some 20+ years after launch... a feat that seems unattainable for even the most exquisite titles of today🙃
The only major issue is that 50:16 is way too short
1:03:21
definitely the hottest track
this is the one
Build a Kingdom.
Rule the Nile.
Live Forever.
That's my LinkedIn motto now.

By far my favorite of the entire OST, so many happy memories.
I still think of Rain whenever memories of this game enter my mind. So tranquil 😔
48:14 Ra my fave. But overall best soundtrack ever for a game. Why has this never been re-released... Maybe they cant improve on perfection ;)
My friend, they are doing a remaster of this game called Pharaoh: A new Era ;)

La gente dice que en esta ciudad hay comida para todo el mundo.
Wow... justo en la infancia
No one truly know what real rage is until you see your whole city getting wrecked to pieces by an earthquake.
MY supplies sold like hot cakes. I'm going back to the bazaar for more
Can you believe that the remake completely replaced the music with new tracks in a different style?
The setup/main menu track is epic
A veces voy tarareando algunas de estas canciones sin darme cuenta 😂❤
Absolutely wonderful
one of the best osts for me... actually the number one i think, RTCW comes second =) maybe I am just old but not many modern games come as close with music
Pharaoh: A New Era is coming out on the 15th of February! Rejoice!
At 18:05 the most evocative and inspiring 👍
The remake has been released, "Pharaoh: A New Era" it seems to be on Gog and Steam
41:15 When you find the hidden path under the pyramids to a lava cave leading to another pyramid
I love this OST
sublime
played this game since i was like 6 and still never beat it

Best game ever
Unusual soundtrack for tycoon..
Well, in intro at least
*Agbj* is magical. Period.
Does anyone know where I can listen to just the sound effects?
If you have pharaoh you should be able to find them in the game files. \Pharaoh directory\AUDIO\Wavs
Does anyone know the name of the main theme please? :3
30:49 - Khepera (The whole track list is in the description) :)
I remember playing this game. Hahaha

Freaking finally, thanks
ur the best

This was my childhood also. Yes I will, I have all in mind inlcusing Caesar :)
This game cemented city builders as my go to when I just need to chill and turn off my brain
CHILDHOOD MEMORIES! I couldn't even read the campaign requirements, as I was 9 years old and could barely read English, if any.
yeah, reading english like hieroglyphs :D
Super awesome game! This was released on the best era of strategy and rpg games! They had a very high difficulty, they were inmersive and long enough to learn about ancient cultures!
1:10:12 - incredible piece of ambient music
This game is still awesome, even after almost 30 years
Looks like it's time to build Palatial Estates again! TY for the blast from the past!
35:41 the track KHU is pretty darn good.
"One day I'll run the bazaar..." Brittany my sister I love you ❤

Bro I'm the same what is it
