January 21st  -  RR the Unmasker

RR really has been busy today folks. He did a Higgins type phonemic analysis on Onionjon to unmask him (well done, old chap, we knew this site could not be bereft of awards for too much longer). Not only that, but he has set up a chat schedule. Yep, that's right, all the fans will know when one of the Angels or Cherubim will be waiting for you to have a chat with them. About what? Well, CIII or Pharaoh or anything really. It's a free Internet. :-) The schedule will be up by Sunday but don't let that stop you from visiting the Chat room now. Good chance one of us and some fans are lounging about there as you read this.

Naturally, RR had lots of time left and he posted a useful bit of info for those of you kind enough to send in housing strategies: "Ok, we have quite a lot of people who come to the forum and post messages showing housing layouts that have been successful for them. However, it is usually quite hard to see them properly, owing to the font we use to display the messages.

So, if you want to make it clearer, then use the following little piece of html:
First, you'll have to change the { to < and the } to > ok, here we go:

{font face="courier"}housing layout here{/font}

Then, your layouts will look like this:

rrrrr
rhhhr
rhfhr
rhhhr
rrrrr

For a better explanation of the html, look at the source code (in the edit menu in IE). Easy, huh?" Check out the forum posting and replies here.

Need a bath? We've got one waiting for you in the Buildings section (Health Buildings subsection) lovingly maintained by Angel JB.

Sorry about this, but I love this composed shot of the pyramids by Mats. Man, even in negative it looks wonderful!

Chat is really starting to take off now. We will have a 'schedule' up for you soon.

Hey, don't forget our big sister sites have some cool happenings as well. Age of Kings is regularly treated to unique, in-depth treatises on major aspects of the game by one of the development staff members! Also, Age of Empires reports an interview with the main web dude at Ensemble Studios and much more!

January 18th  -  MAJOR NEWS! Pharaoh Site to open soon!

Pharaoh Heaven

After frenzied preparations and a deluge of e-mails, the Caesar III Heaven Dream Team are proud to announce the imminent opening of the sequel to CIII H: Pharaoh Heaven! There are still some matters to be attended to but required permissions have been granted and we felt we should share this with you as soon as it was a sure thing. As soon as the server has been geared towards handling the site for this exciting new game and new pixels and characters can be slapped onto html pages, the site will be opened and it will be announced right here!

Of course the release of the game this Fall means that events will not be as fast-paced as they now are at CIII Heaven. However, we are certain that we shall be able to keep you entertained with lots of goodies till the release--and I don't just mean eye candy either. We are very, very pleased with the announcement of Pharaoh which promises to surpass even the achievements of Caesar III. A game so popular it has already sold 400,000 units! We are sure Pharaoh will better this and Pharaoh Heaven will be dedicated to assisting in this goal and, of course, in giving you the latest insights as they become known to us. How can we be so sure that the game and the site will be blockbusters? Because the same team that developed CIII and the same team that created CIII Heaven are the same teams working on Pharaoh.

Naturally, we will be maintaining the CIII Heaven site for a long, long time and only four of the original team have been selected to initiate Pharaoh Heaven: Draco, Reckless Rodent, b:real and myself. We will be getting contributions from others at the CIII Heaven site right from the beginning and these contributions will become more frequent as Pharaoh goes beta.
