Immortal Cities. Citybuilder like Pharaoh but not nearly as enjoyable. Wall of text, sorry...
Why did they not just put in a storage area, why does everything have to be transported in this indecipherable way that's really complicated and doesn't make much sense? There's no storage building, you never know what's in the granary and what is being distributed in terms of food, things are almost never where you want them to be.
Also heatlhcare and religion are way too complicated. A single Priest takes forever to train and they need to take care of a school, the apothecary, the hospital, the mortuary, a temple to a major god and then one shrine per god that is important to the people in their neighbourhood. Which, if you know Egyptian mythology, thats a damn huge amount of gods! There's the obvious sun worship with Ra, then Osiris for Spring, Hapi for the flood, Hathor for Shemu, Anubis if someone dies, the peasants want Amun, the scribes want to worship Thoth, people will want to thank Bast for good health, rich people want Isis and it just goes on and on and then the Priests handling all that still need to buy food and goods for their own use and it's just too much to be enjoyable. It boils down to being a constant annoyance that people never seem to be happy even though you've covered your city in temples and shrines to everything.
