  Byblos
Byblos, known throughout the world for the quality of its cedar wood, has fallen
under your control. Can you ensure your influence remains in the area?
Requirements:
Events:
You will be able to trade
with Knossos, Qadesh, Rowarty and Heh
The prices of wood, copper
and weapons will increase
Hints:
There are requests for wood,
troops, fish, and money.
The Hittites will attack
from the North, and from the South (to the right of the kingdom road). If they come
by sea, they will attack from the South. Bedouins will also make attempts to
displace you, and attacked me from the North-East (behind the trees).
Gold mines are absolutely
crucial here. At the start, there's hardly a city that will trade with you, so you
need to find other ways of making money. Eventually, you'll be able to sell copper,
weapons and wood. In fact, you might find you end up making more money out of copper
mines than you would out of gold mines. The price rises only help you in this
situation. For some extra income, import flax and export linen. This also
helps to mop up any unemployment you might have,
Physicians and police
stations are another important factor. In the early game, you don't want to have
large swathes of your population going down with the plague, or loads of deben being
removed from your treasury by criminals.
Once you have secured a foothold here, you
need to head south to save your country from the Sea Peoples - on to Rowarty! |
