This city was started in Pharaoh and finished in Cleo, and for this reason a zoo was not available.
I didn't discover until near the end of the mission that a zoo was necessary to reach the Culture objectives. This is learning the hard way, and since I liked the city the way it
was I didn't have the heart to go back and start over. Even with all the entertainment venues at perfect I could not, I could not get the Culture rating above 70. (85 required).
For this reason the city will not time out to the victory screen. My advice is don't make this mistake. If you want to play in Cleo start in Cleo.
With lots of wood and papyrus to sell money was not a problem. I was slow in starting the military. I just barely met the troop request to aid Gaza. After that I overdid it
a bit in military building as I was worried about the chariot attack which seemed to be threatened in the mission briefing. By the 18th year when I finished this has not happened.
Thankfully.
I like the new statues in Cleo and wish there were more of them. They help to decorate the city and give it a realistic Egyptian look.
