(1) How can I control
the wildlife? Hyenas, crocs and hippos (oh my!) are killing my citizens!
Policemen can kill all the wildlife. Place the policemen on
the roads near the animal’s path and they will attempt to kill the wildlife. Archers
are reasonably effective in large groups, but infantry, with their sharp copper spears,
can really cleanup the wildlife. Just don’t leave them away from their forts
for too long or their moral will fail. Towers will shoot at the animals and Walls can
separate your city from the animal spawning areas. Statues can also be used to contain the
animals. Hyenas can also be contained with gardens if you catch them sitting still.
(2) Hyenas keep killing me in Dunqul Oasis
If you don't want to resort to the
"wall-'em-in" expedient that other players are recommending, then you must
accept that you'll suffer some attrition, especially among immigrants, early in the
mission. Despite the number of immigrants who become hyena chow, your city will slowly
grow to the point where you can afford to staff several Police Stations. (Hyenas have a
limited appetite and some immigrants will always get through). Constables will prevent the
hyenas from running amok in city streets, and you'll eventually have the resources to
establish an Archer Fort. The unique thing about hyena herds is that they can be
exterminated. Park a company of archers on their spawning grounds, and you will eventually
wipe them off the map. The hyenas make Dunqul a touch-and-go mission early on, but it's
quite satisfying when you can finally wipe them out and render city streets safe.
(3) Why can’t I
rotate the map like in Caesar III? Is this a bug?
There is a Pyramid icon in the upper right corner of the
game interface; pressing it will face the map to North. Clicking just to the right or left
of it will rotate the map right or left (notice the arrows that appear over the
directional pyramid when you move your cursor to the right and left of it).
Plus, the Page Up and Page Down buttons will also rotate
that map and the Home button will rotate the map back to default North.
(4) What else can be rotated?
Statues can be rotated by holding down the "R"
key before you place the statue. Temple Complexes can also be rotated the same way, but be
warned that sometimes graphic glitches can occur with these. It is best to save first
before rotating and placing a Temple Complex. They cost a lot of debens and
you could change your mind, anyway. The Sphinx can be rotated but other monuments cannot.
(5) I have completed all the requirements, but I still can't get promoted
to win the scenario!
Check with the Overseer of Monuments to see if all the
burial goods (or "grave goods") have been dispatched. If that has been done,
re-read your mission briefing from the Ankh symbol on the control panel to see reaching a
specific housing level is also one of the requirements.
(6) How do I take
a "screenshot" of my city?
- Center your screen over the desired area.
- Press the "Print Screen" key on keyboard.
- Your screenshot is now saved to the Clipboard.
- Open MS Paint or some image editing program.
- Start a new image and select "Paste."
- Your huge screen shot will appear that can be edited or printed.
- You can save it as a BMP (Bitmap image) or a JPEG file.
(7) How to Cheat.
To bring up the cheat
dialog box, press CTRL+ALT+C. Then, type in your cheat of choice exactly
as it appears below. The cheats are case sensitive, and make sure to
spell everything correctly (pharaoh is a tricky word, we know). Also, some cheats can only
be used in certain situations, as noted. We highly recommend saving your game before using
any cheat codes. There is a slight chance that something funky (and unintended) could
happen when you use a cheat.
NOTE: Impressions releases new cheats every few weeks so check
back here often!
