After
a surprising attack of the Nubian-Kushite alliance,
all of Upper Egypt has fallen to the enemies...
Only a few days after you returned from your mission
to Tyre and Gaza, Pharaoh has called you again.
"I
know you should be resting, but there isn't time
for it. Nubian and Kushite armies are still advancing.
They know that the only way to defeat us is to cut off
any routes that supply wood for chariots, food or other
basic necessities. We have to strike back soon, so we
need chariots made from high quality wood, quickly.
"You
have proven to me you are an excellent governor, especially
when diplomacy and efficiency of production were needed.
You will go to the island of Cyprus, and establish a
small colony there. I will send our best chariot makers
with you, so that you can supply our army with the much
needed chariots."
You
slowly begin to realize what is asked of you, and
you feel this mission should not be that difficult.
Throw up a quick village, a dock and a chariot industry.
"You
can and will also supply us with beer. Now that
we have almost the entire Egyptian army here in Bubastis,
we are in need of much more beer. The barley fields
in Itjtawy may fall to the Hyksos at any moment. You
can import barley in Cyprus and send us the beer when
we need it."
Mentally
you add skilled brewers to the list of craftsmen
you must take to Cyprus. The village is growing a bit
larger in your mind. Still, not a bad assignment and
surely glory will come to you from supplying the chariots
to save Egypt. Besides, having a little beer in the
village will make the time pass nicely.
"Oh,
one more thing," the Pharaoh says. "We
should establish our presence on Cyprus forever. The
city you build must prosper and since I intend to send
my favorite nephew there as a governor later, you have
to build an appropriate residence for him... and you
should also build a pyramid that will hold his mortal
remains after he enters the Field of Reeds."
After
a short silence Pharaoh says, "That is all.
Go and do as I have told you." You
let out a small sigh and then leave the building to
head directly for the docks. You have a mission to accomplish.
Good
luck to you!
Hints:
- Message
of granite price increase each December is reminder
to save; has nothing to do with game play.
- Concentrate
on the CC as defined about, and don't let yourself
be confused by the original winning conditions if
you played Moquel's version!
- Novices
will get a chance to export beer for some time, but
not Experts; all players have to meet several requests
for beer.
- You
can save the game at any moment after the CC is met,
but not later than AD Dec 15. Both CC and WC will
be checked in the moment of submission.
- Highest
housing level will be checked twice - once in moment
of submission and then again after 3 months; the lower
of the two values will be considered your result.
It does not matter how many such houses or how many
people living in them.

more information see the appropriate event FAQ in
the Competition
Corner.
