Dear Egyptians!
As announced in the previous Devblog, we are very excited and happy to finally invite you to participate in the much-anticipated Builders of Egypt Closed Beta Test. However, before you decide to take part, you should know that we have a limit of people and we reserve the right to select participants based on a prepared survey. Link below:

Builders of Egypt: Closed Beta Application
*********************************************
What can you expect in the beta?
First of all and the most important, what this game is supposed to be and you haven't had the chance to see it in the Prologue - majestic monuments, improved and more developed economy, and the last - strategic battles.
There will be 6 missions to test, 2 of which are updated missions from Prologue rebuilt into something we planned from the beginning (the first one as an easy tutorial mission where the player can learn the basic mechanics and the second one adding more mining structures) and the other 4 new missions offering content we haven't shown yet.
Is it a lot of content or not? In the final release, there will be 39 missions so we leave it up to you to decide if this meets your expectations. We strongly believe it does but it doesn't mean that Builders of Egypt will end at 39 missions.
What is the schedule for beta testing?
We decided to divide Beta testing into two, separate stages. Each stage will consist of three rounds, which gives a total of 6 rounds. To each round, we will invite only people, who meet our requirements necessary to conduct the test and fulfill properly missions goals.
Each round will last approximately 2 weeks, but we do consider extending or shortening the initially planned period for every round based on received feedback.
This also applies to the final release - a fixed date will be announced after all of outlined above rounds are done and we are done as well with fixing reported issues and improving our game. Our main goal is to deliver the most interesting and fascinating Egyptian city-builder ever!
What if you didn't make it to the first three rounds?
The second stage will be accessible for a much larger group of players than the first one.
We intend to invite more people and answers in the survey won't be as important as in initial testing. This also means that if you didn't get an activation code at the start of the test, you shouldn't lose hope! Feel free to apply for access to the final stage, we're waiting for you!
