Note: As Cleopatra is in most aspects of gameplay the same, you may refer to the subchapters of the Walkthrough to Pharaoh for information. Most of it will be valid in Cleopatra as well.
Cleopatra continues the Pharaoh story with missions entirely set within the New Kingdom. The missions are divided into several campaigns, each focusing on a different aspect of the New Kingdom from tomb building in the Valley of the Kings, the exploits of Ramesses II, to the fall of Egypt in the 1st century BC.
Certain Cleopatra missions also allow the carry-over of troops and monuments from mission into another. Unlike the missions in Pharaoh, the ranks of Cleopatra are not successive and the rank of Pharaoh is held as the historical character instead of the family name of the character. The first Cleopatra missions are also set during the time period of either before or during the last missions of the main Pharaoh game.
Please note that all the remaining guide pages for Cleopatra are the same ones that are used for Pharaoh, as those include the things unique to Cleopatra already and, as mentioned before, the differences are really minimal. Strategy tips for Pharaoh contained in the guide will however not necessarily work in Cleoptatra, due to the differences in the balancing of the game dynamics.
