Discussion of the Necropolis faction.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamassu

However, as far as I can tell, there are only two clear indications of an Egyptian style: the pyramid-shaped Castle and the "sphinx," which, as it turns out, is not a sphinx but a Lamassu.

And yet, the developers promise a Necropolis in an Egyptian style. The pyramid-shaped Castle and a ghoul fit this description quite well. The only thing missing is mummies. Perhaps they should have used mummies instead of liches?

Thank you for the information. But I think the developers simply overdid it with the name; in the game, it's a sphinx, which is quite appropriate for the Egyptian style.
