(Note,I've run the save three times to make clear the final date and score,but each time I've got different results,one time one whole street lost water access,for a month!Now I believe that C3/Pharoah's agorithm is ruely random!)

There is a small mistake in the Timna's walkthough:the Beduins will invade the city from three different locations,not two,The third invasion point(at the third time) is in the north,between the two metal rock,and very close to my gold mines(Mon Dieux!).

The game ended in 2483BC,but I failed to save it before I hit "continued to govern two more years",so it ends in 2481 BC.In return,I got 3000 more points of score,and "purified" the city with all small residence(made them more stable-occasionally,several residence lost some service,I also removerd 4 1x1 large apartments)-I reached the cap(60).

My city is not so good looking as some of the saves in the download section,becuase dating back from C3 times, I has developed a "thrifty" habit,always trying to use as less beautifications as possible(though I added a lot during the two extra game years,trying to see the graphic evolement of several bazaars) while at the same time avoiding "labour access tents".Usually I treat the village palace and festival plaza as "bonus" big statue,so as you can see,my housing block was organized around these two desirable structures,the result is, except a few plazas,no other beautifications needed for common residence(One regret in this scenario was,I forget to put in my personal maison until I want to send some gift to speedup the promotion).

At the beginning of the game,I didn't build gold mines-the starting point was near the entrance,but copper mines instead,and I imported chickpea and export copper to get balanced finance.Later when I had got another community established at the eastern mine field,I replace these copper mines with gold.In doing so,I could always satisfy Pharoah's request without delay(except one time he asked for 1500 copper).My only troubel in this scenario is the Bandstands:they are the granaries of C3,always be confuing to those random walkers.I'll figure out a better layout in the later cities.

This is first city I've ever submitted to Heavens' site,and is my only city(C3 & Pharoah) which was consisted of only one type of housing.
