I'm absolutely loving the game. Being able to play Pharaoh again with modern graphics and UI is great. There are a few things that are missing (minimap, rotating the main map), but overall everything feels like an improvement.
One thing I've noticed is that the maps are very slightly different from the original. Just as an example, there's more room in Timna in the north for copper/gold mines, but the closest water table (for the palace) is farther away. That may not seem like a big deal, but when you've engineered your cities with tile-by-tile tolerances like I have, it's a thing.
