This might be titled "Out in the Nick of Time" because the foreign army is set
to invade in a few months and there is no military. Only recommend this strategy if you
think you can get the city done before it is invaded, or if the expected invasion turns
out to be the sail-by/show the flag type. Not sure why I didnt build any navy, busy
running the city I guess.
Some early problems with ignoring the contaminated water messages, which turned into
malaria, which eventually became plague. A few physicians got it under control. Took the
resuce loan in the 4 th year. Most of the bricks seemed to be donated for making the
requests immediately. I did have to turn the barley off for a while, it was just
everywhere. I had turned it back on, Pharoah has an outstanding request for mucho beer!
Another reason to boogie!
This is based on old C3 type blocks, just triple center gardens with houses facing
outward. Connecting at right angles with the huge dance pavillion seemed to work well. The
reed cutters cross the ferry to find reeds, and their little village has basic
entertainment. I think the other linen village could be expanded quite a bit if you wanted
the import money. I was taxing at 12%, they didnt seem to mind.
I tend to try to hold the population down to not feed excess folks. More than likely the
medium prosperity is due to not a lot of profit-- but the goal is only 25. I fit all three
mastabas on one side, the city is stable. If I did it again, I would do the war ships and
expand the linen village a bit to make more money.
Still, it was fun. It is early in the game, we are all experimenting.
