  Iunet / Dendera
A tyrannical pharaoh with a desire for eternal glory drives you to achieve great
things at Iunet.

Hints:
Pharaoh Khufu wants to
ensure that you remember who's in charge, so he'll keep you busy with plenty of requests
for goods like fish, meat and pottery.
The Kushites don't want you
to feel secure in Iunet, so will make plenty of attempts to displace you. They will
sail into your city from the East, and may bring troops with them. If they do, then
they'll land them on the upper eastern island - the one with the small rocky outcrop.
You will have to get your troops there via transport ship if you fail to sink their
transport before their troops can land.
A gold industry is important
here, and should be started early on. The same goes for copper and granite, both of
which can provide additional revenue via export. Keep some of each good in reserve
though, in case Pharaoh decides he needs some.

found
this one pretty easy:
This
is a pleasant change from pyramid building. All you need is one small mastaba (with
granite in it, as I discovered when I thought I'd met all the requirements). Best of all,
there are no economic problems. In year 0, connect 7 gold mines to your main housing block
and don't even worry about exports.
The
only tricky part is fighting off the Kushites. I forgot to import wood and took too long
to build warships. Once I'd learned my lesson, I built four of them. Then I ignored Seth,
who destroyed them all. Fortunately I finished before the next invasion.

saved game (no masterpiece, but useful for ferry and dock placement) is in

Successful completion of
this scenario will prove to Khufu that your family is capable of great things, and he'll
set you another tough task - Rostja (Giza). |
