Description:
Hi. This is the first time I submitted a city. It's my nearly finished mission at Waset. Deliver the final burial provisions to complete it.
I started by colonizing the western island (with the farm grounds en flood plains). I found out that request dealing with famine were my biggest issue here. I crammed a lot of flood plain farms (grain) and a couple of regular farms (figs). On the small island to the south I situated a construction site for ships and a fishing colony. This provided the fish needed for the first requests. On the eastern island I planned industry and monument building. Main export items were copper and pottery. Especially pottery!!! The other cities buy lots of it. Additional gold mines provided me with even more Deben.
I never bowed to the threats of the enemy egyptians. Therefore I needed a strong navy, since they attacked when I didn't meet their demands for money. I gradually built my fleet up to six ships, which dealt easily with any invasion. A full complement of forts was needed to releave the city of Thinis and to defend the city in case the invaders could land their troops. That happened only one time though.
Housing isn't evolved to a very high level, but I managed to evolve a lot of housing to a fairly high level. Generally the city just works. I really enjoyed playing it, so that's why I wanted to add it to pharaoh.heavengames.com. Enjoy. Greetings from Holland, Wouter.
