A couple more reviews added ver the past
couple of days, I've added a couple more reviews to the reviews
page. Both are pretty complementary (they're from Gone Gold and Quantum9).
While I'm still fighting to build a roller coaster that doesn't require an
immediate trip to the toilet afterwards, there's plenty going on in the PH forums.
In the Game Help forum, we have the following post by one of the Impressions chaps on the
subject of work
camp labourers, and how many you can have at one time:
The more stonemasons/bricklayers you have on the base of the
pyramid (assuming you have enough work camps and resources), the more teams of laborers
you will see dragging stone to the monument. I'm not certain, but I'm pretty sure that you
could get more than 8 teams going at once, especially while building the Large Mudbrick
Pyramid Complex at Hetepsenusret...
My 2 cents: It depends on how many workers you've got on the pyramid
waiting for stone deliveries. The more people you've got waiting there, the more
deliveries can be made at a time. I've had up to 11 going at any 1 point. It's
one delivery for each 2 people standing on the monument, and deliveries can only be made
to people who are standing still.

yesterday's news that Cherub mouse has completed the game, an interview
appeared in the Senet House between her and Cherub Gustavia, in which our joint-favourite
rodent talks about the sort of things it took to win (coffee seems to feature prominently
;)).
Meanwhile, MRed94 gives us all a
useful tip for dealing with invasions in the Rostja scenario:
I noticed that once, about June 2502, the Libyan army invaded from the mid
east of the map, not from the south. This caught my by surprise, and I almost lost my
temple complex to them rats.....Then at about Jan., 2481, they came from the South East
shore across the River, and I didn't have any transport ships. They destroyed everything I
had on that side of the river, just a small settlement, and then they just disappeared,
and I don't think I got any penalties.....
Be warned....
At 10am this morning, a chap from FedEx knocked on my door to deliver me
my copy of Pharaoh! *sigh* Typical that it arrives when I'm currently fighting
a Roller Coaster Tycoon addiction...
