I, Pharaoh Tuthmosis IV, have fulfilled my own destiny to rule this land. Our glorious kingdom is now rich in prosperity and peace. We trade with more cities than ever before, and have even set up trade prospects with the once feared Babylonians.
I will only be expanding our territory once, and that is why I have chosen you to aid in this venture. Your family has written their own page in history's annals and I know you will not fail me in this.
I wish for you to found a new city, away from the court and grandeur of Thebes, next to the Red Sea. A small tributary of the Nile extends through your fair city, but there is little to no inundation area due to the high salt content. My purveyors tell me the land is naturally protected from predators by high cliffs, but beware...old enemies across the sea will be jealous of your new land.
My beautiful wife, Mutemuya, has given birth to the next Pharaoh, Amenhotep III. I wish to honor her loyalty by building a Mastaba tomb. We also wish to honor Ra, by building a sun temple.
The land is rich in resources, and a profitable and grand city should come out of this. If it does, you will be richly honored.

  

Player Comment by William Rusco:

This is the first scenerio that I have attempted. It is very challanging to fit some housing blocks into, plus the Estate. I only tried about a half dozen times to fit in all the housing.

The requests and invasions where well done.

There is plenty of resorses to get started with. I really enjoyed this scenerio and recomend it to all first time scenerio players.

I will finish this soon and will submit a finished city in a couple of days.

Real good job designeing this.
