I've always been interested in Ancient Egypt so this caught my eye when I saw it mentioned on Blue's News (http://www.bluesnews.com/s/169625/egypt-civilization-announced-not-by-firaxis). There'll be a demo in mid-March. Have to give'em an email in the link below to get the demo (at least for now).

Turn-based historical strategy. Play the history of Ancient Egypt from the first egyptians in 5000 BC to the end of the New Kingdom period — 1070 BC. Step by step follow the history of the great ancient kingdom, be the witness of the rise and fall of the legendary civilization, immerse into the deeps of mystic and thrilling Egyptian culture.
We're developing a game that makes the player dive into real historical periods of Ancient Egypt and participate in historical events that actually happened. The game is divided into three main campaigns: Nekhen – the Pre-Dynastic Period, Memphis – the Early Dynastic Period and the Old Kingdom, and Thebes – the Middle and New Kingdom.
I have Clarus Victoria's Marble Age centring on Greek Civilisation. They did a good job with that and although simple to play, it can be quite engrossing. This Egyptian Civilisation game may be a good one to pick up. O0
I've played the demo and I can't wait for the game to come out.
Apparently you can vote for it on Greenlight in Steam. I don't do that very often, but I did it for this one.
My first reaction when I saw the demo was 'yech, a tablet game'. The demo sat on my desktop for a while until yesterday. Played it four times, loved it, wanted more. It's a little bit tablety, but it's so well done I don't mind.
It might be perfect for my Windows 8 tablet...

You recommend this for tablet? Do you think the gameplay is similar?
Watching the video really just made me wish the Slitherine would do an updated remake of Chariots of War.

I have it on the PC. Unfortunately, while my son and daughter both have a tablet, I don't so I can't recommend regarding tablet play. I'd be very surprised if it didn't play just fine on a tablet, but I'm speculating. Just be warned pre-civilization marble age is very simple to play, but I find it quite engrossing in its way. Some of the missions are incredibly hard to beat though.
