Disasters

contaminated, reducing the city's overall health level.
Hints & Tips
This level introduces you to some of
the more advanced problems in the game, and provides new challenges for you as a governor.
Here are some tips on how to deal with the new
challenges:
Fires - desert cities have a greatly
increased fire risk, so you should build more prefects than usual, and spend even more
time checking the fire risk overlay.
Water - fountains in the desert only service
a range of 3 tiles, instead of 4 (for central and northern cities). Therefore, if you've
fashioned your earlier cities using 9x9 city blocks, you should change to 7x7 blocks, for
the desert.
Population - this level calls for double the
population of the previous levels. As a result you will need to build more of everything,
and that makes it more difficult to keep an eye on every little detail. Therefore, make
sure you build all parts of your city such that they can look after themselves for
extended periods of time. If they can't look after themselves, you will be permanently
fighting fire all over the city!
Invasions - Greek soldiers will invade you
from two points of the map. If you preempt the invasion points and surround them with
walls and towers, you will never need to build any forts. However, you are free to make
city defense more "interesting" by building walls and towers around the city if
you wish, plus a few forts. The invading force is always the same approximate size
(between half dozen to a dozen troops).
Choices - Miletus has plenty of open spaces,
and the choice between coastline (fishing) or farmland (fruit) as your population center,
is not a very straightforward one. I'd recommend building around the larger farmland,
because your farms, docks and houses must all be together, for the purposes of exporting
oil and importing clay. The farmland can support 18 farms, and you should use 2 or 3 of
those for olive farms.
Fishing - build a ship bridge from the coast
(near the farms) to the first large island. Use this island to build more wharves. That
should give you enough fish (along with the 15 fruit farms) to feed all of your people.
Exports - you have enough problems producing
food for your people without trying to export it as well, so just stick to exporting oil
and weapons.
Imports - the only thing you'll want to
import is clay. Don't import the others unless you have too much money.
Prosperity - although the prosperity target
is not overly high, you still won't meet it just by accident while concentrating on
building tents! Right click on the houses and give them the goods and services to allow
them to evolve to a level between small insulae and grand insulae.
