That's the question on everybody's lips in the
forum today. Cherub Et Flavius from Caesar
III Heaven started the discussion
off, and it has ballooned since then. Here's an excerpt of what Innovandora
had to say in one of the replies:
Yes, the
Egyptians had BOTH beer and wine. The vineyards were located around some of the Oases in
the SW. They don't seem to have really been so much into vintages and upper class housing
will NOT need more than one type of wine. Having upper class temples nearby is more
important, as are yachts, water lilly ponds, dancers and musicians for parties should come
first.
Beermaking was monopolized by women and largely done by wives
at home for their own household consumption, with a little excess sold on the side for
petty cash. They were the original home brewers. They never really had breweries as in the
European tradition, but I believe people will forgive this a-historical lapse.
If you want to put your two...erm...whatever the
Egyptians called their loose change in to this discussion, then you can do so here.
It seems as if some of the people who have won
contest prizes over at GameStats recently just could bring themselves to accept their
prizes, so JT's had loads of unclaimed stuff just lying around. Well, he's decided
to get rid of it all, and you are the beneficiaries. Check out what
he has to offer here.
Back in Pharaoh Heaven, Jayhawk's
been ultra-busy again finding out about the latest theories on ancient Egypt. This
time he's found an interesting theory as to how the pyramids might have been built.
Check it out and post your thoughts here.
We still need questions to put to Impressions at
the upcoming E3...put them here.
Remember the news a week or so ago that the parents
of the kids shot dead at a school in Kentucky were suing the entertainment industry for
$130 million? Remember how that provoked a strong reaction
from Justice T at Gamestats?
Well, now you have your chance to vioce your opinions on the matter, thanks to the latest
poll on GS Main. Check it out and
tell the GS guys what you think!
Is there something that you are simply dying to ask
the guys at Impressions? Well, you might just get your chance in mid-May at the Electronic
Entertainment Expo (E3).
Impressions will be there, and so will 4 HGS Angels. So, if there's something that
you want to ask, then please let us know here.
In the past couple of days, there have been some
posts in the forum complaining that there has been little new stuff coming out recently.
Well, you are all quite correct, Gray Wolf and others who have
pointed this out. However, I think I need to remind you that we are but a fan site,
and not the creators of the game. Impressions and Sierrs are creating the game, and
it is therefore up to them to release the screenshots and details. I assure you, we
are badgering them as often as we feel proper for more details on what looks to be one on
the great games of 1999 and 2000. However, I repeat that we are at their mercy as to
what we can post here - if there's nothing being released, then we clearly can't report
it. I'm doing my very best to update this page daily where possible, but it can be
very tough. I'm doing my best, as are the guys at Pharaoh. Anyway, I sincerely
hope that some new stuff will be released about the game by Impressions at E3 in mid-May,
so stay tuned for that - we are already on the scent!
Phew! I needed to have a bit of a rant there;). If you want to
comment on the above, then please do so here.
On a different and perhaps slightly more upbeat
note, the promised new look for Pharaoh Heaven is getting very close. Yes, I know
I've said that before, but this time it really is true. Just a couple of things to
iron out and we are go!!!
How can we stop this guy;)? Just kidding,
Jayhawk - he's doing some great work in the forum helping us all get up to speed on
Egyptian history. His latest work of art is a terribly useful links list which you would do well to check out.
