and part of the new fence. We also threw away close to 6m³ of old floors, old bathroom,
and old fences.
Four more days before we move.

Ancient Armies of the Middle East ngel Jayhawk filling in
here, while Angel Reck's on holiday and Angel Alexander I is looking for the keys of
his apartment.
With all this talk going on
about the military aspect of the game (battering
rams and catapults!) I just wanted to mention a little tome of wisdom used by our very
own warlord Terratheon. Ancient Armies of the Middle East, an Osprey Men-at-Arms publication, contains a
large section on the Egyptian armies and their enemies, which include Hittites and Hyksos.

Processions he ideas continue to flood
in for Impressions to read in the forum. Here's a post by Innovandora, pondering
upon the nature of the processions at the end of the scenario:
We've been told that each
scenario end's with that generation of our lineage dying, and then being treated to a
funeral parade showing off our possessions as they're being carted off to be locked up in
our tomb where we'll have a happy afterlife. I do hope we're treated to watching them walk
through our city which we've built and are able to mouse around during their walk.
I'm hoping accomplishments are included too.
Particularly, it'd be cool to have the veterans of each successful campaign also come out
marching for our funeral, accompanied by war drums. This would be a real pay-off for the
war mongers --their goal could be to get insanely long parades of just veteran soldiers
marching along at the end of a scenario. They could take repeated screenshots and
concatenate them together, just to show off on the net.
That's it for me for the
next couple of weeks - I'm off on holiday. Angels Jayhawk and Alexander I will be
filling the hole while I'm away. See you all in a fortnight!

New screenshots 'm sure that by now
everybody knows that the Pharaoh Heaven forum is the place to be to get all the latest
news and information about Pharaoh. Well, today is no exception - Innovandora,
one of our regulars, has found some more screenshots on the net. If you're
interested (and who wouldn't be), then check
them out here.
