with hindsight, could of done this a bit quicker, as started big pyramid first ( and too late) and smaller 2nd ( after big pyramid 40% complete). Even with 10 -12 work camps and numerous guilds, work started on smaller pyramid quickly then stopped,,and started , it was very intermittent ( even though farms had appropriate work camps) so that i dont think was the problem. My proudest moment however was seeing 11 loads of stone being hauled up the pyramid at one time, best i achieved. I think if you didnt worry about housing levels and were ruthless you could cut the time by a lot.

Next note is 2nd food supply, even though i had several larger residences which maintained well, the surrounding houses sometimes devolved,( the estate in middle however stayed constant throughout) i think this was to do with my storage yard setup, which i initially setup more for export in mind near the docks, rather than buiding estates up.

interesting thing about this city is that the middle estate housing block on the mainland, once established, never devolved , whereas the estate near the pyramids and upper estate sometimes did,,, also on the island, i never could get the housing to a reasonable room, better planning would do here.

Thanks
Laute
