[@KingCrimson250]

This is one of my favourite missions. I love how you finally get to build *the* Pyramids, the ones you can go see today, but rather than this amazing architectural achievement it's portrayed as the brutal, oppressive excess of a tyrannical megalomaniac.

[@GreyOverlord74]

It is ironic that the ancient Egyptian architecture that's in the best condition and has withstood the test of time are the ones they're least proud of. XD

[@TeeVeesGreatest]

awesome as usual bud! Ive been playing this since it first came out in the 90's, and I just love it! Just a couple of points. 1 You dont need any Apothecaries in Desert maps. Just where there are Marshes in Termperate Maps. 2 You need double the amount of Fire Marshals in Desert Maps. 3 You should turn on "Pyramid Speedup" in the Game Settings, so when you get a blessing from one of the False Gods, your Pyramid construction goes into sudden 'overdrive' and layers of blocks get added to any Monuments in construcion. It will replace a usual blessing with a Pyramid Blessing randomly. 4 When you get to put down a courthouse you can delete the Police stations, as the courthouse fights any crime the same way. 5 Your Hunters where touching the Ostriches first to see where the Spawning point was.(Game Fault). 6 Not all buildings need the an Engineer and Fire Marshal. Stone buildings like Temples and Shrines, don't burn, so only need an Engineer. Wooden Buildings like Work Camps dont collapse, so just need a Fire Marshal. The manual has a page which shows which building needs what, It can add up quite drasticaly with employment numbers. Anyway just a few points. I love your vids though. I love seeing if I can beat your score! I failed badly with the last one playing 'On'! lol. All the best Zac! SO cant wait for the remastered game this year! - Clive

[@981Tree]

Thank you very much for the tips. The Pyramid Speedup helped me finish the smaller one. However, on Normal difficulty I've been struggling for almost 100 years now and the big pyramid is stuck at 60% - no peasants would report to work, maybe my work camps are more like sleep camps. It's kinda frustrating, I've spent more than 10 hours on this mission and don't seem to complete it. Got 4k population and unemployment 1-3% or so.

[@981Tree]

nvm, finally managed to solve the issue: my work camps were too far from the pyramid. I completed the mission and it took me 1391 months 😀😀😀

Hi Zakh, it's been 2 years since you posted so you may not see this. I've had the wonderful experience of going to Egypt and seeing the Great Pyramid complex and the Sphinx for real. That makes this level even more fun for me. Thanks for posting, I watch your videos before I play each level so I have an idea on how to proceed. The bit with the festivals is that the gods boost various opportunities for you depending on what their specialty is.

[@GamerZakh]

Hey! I see new comments no matter how old the video is. That's amazing to hear that you've been to the real Sphinx. I've always wanted to go.

[@SuperSajuuk]

A good tip for future missions with large monuments/multiple monuments: use walls or statues to block the staging area in, so that nobody can reach it and only build one monument at a time. There are future missions where large Complexes are needed and they require a huge amount of resources and workers, so making sure that all the effort is put onto one monument at a time completes them faster (overall). If you thought this monument was tough, wait until Hetep... you are gonna hate that Grand Mudbrick Pyramid Complex... XD In regards to hunting: I had the same problem. I think it's due to having "too many" lodges, so the game is confusing which one they should be hunting. In this case, I'd probably just set up all my granaries to just "Get Maximum" so they fill up faster (as you had a large surplus in the Storage Yard) and eventually stabilise. Without Osiris' TC, it makes the mission a little harder (Osiris' TC has a boost that makes local resources respawn faster). Also, Hunters will only walk so many tiles, before they turn around and just go back to the lodge, with nothing. Maps like this one come up later, so making sure that hunters only use flocks nearby is important (especially important for Baki, where the map is enormous and you don't want hunters walking too far to get things there). Great video nonetheless! And I like how you've seen the benefits of the festival square. Those benefits, specifically Ra's, are very useful as many missions will have limited trading quotas, so getting his "I'll increase trade quotas for a year" blessing really helps with money making. :D

[@jimenezramirescesargustavo8060]

Vaya en el juego de + de Sajuuk Let yo soy especialista en sobrexplotar esas bendiciones ! me hecho fortunas gigantescas gracias a eso XD

[@muhdadam9931]

Just use construction blessing

[@nicholascoyle9171]

There are so many concepts and mechanics in this game that the game doesn't really explain to the player. It took me a while to figure out that you really HAD TO get the blessings of Ra and higher kingdom rating to open up more trade routes and higher trading quotas.

[@Nurk0m0rath]

@@nicholascoyle9171 Agreed. I personally remembered the fire and damage overlays but struggled to remember the shortcut keys for the rest, and completely failed to notice the giant "overlays" button in the top right, none of which is explored or explained in game. But consider the age of the game. At that time it was normal for games to come with manuals, and this one had a larger manual than most. Fortunately that manual is still available in an online pdf and explains a lot of the stuff not properly explained in game. Heck, it tells you exactly what benefits each TC and add-on gives your city and even has a list of buildings that shows exactly how they affect local desirability. One thing to be hopeful for is that the remake will do a good job putting that information directly into the game somehow. I did notice in Zakh's showcase that they included the overlays in the tutorial, so that's a good start.

[@sigilork785]

I absolutely love this mission! How enjoyable it is watching someone else play this. 3 great monuments at once, awesome.

[@rivenoak]

the mission lasted 380 monts, over 30 years. seems accurate with the work neccessary with the great pyramid in real life.

[@SuperSajuuk]

Yes! :D The longest mission so far, let's sit down and watch an hour of epic historical city building! :D

[@aldrinmarang447]

I got swarmed by Pharao's army for not complying to his demands in time.

[@theraginggamer095]

Personally this here is my favorite mission in the game, love this level since it's the reward of building a massive pyramid and establishing your trade, without anything else, almost like a sandbox. P.S. 380 months to complete is actually an awesome completion time given you weren't trying to speedrun this map since the fastest known completion time according to the pharaoh heaven website is 317 months. You were only 6 years and 3 months off of that

[@7Wolf77]

You and I finished this map at roughly the same time! When the final pyramid was being smoothed I had that same weird invasion at the end.

[@Nurk0m0rath]

Been having a lot of fun watching this series along with my own replay, but the more I watch/play Pharaoh the more I wish there were a few more tools to streamline production and transportation of goods. For instance, I recently did a pyramid-building map where the quarries were far from where the complex had to be, and I wanted to set up work camps near the pyramid specifically to smooth the foundation, while camps closer to the quarries carried the stone to the smaller pyramid. Unfortunately the two often seemed to reverse those roles for a long trip both ways, so the most efficient method currently seems to be building all the camps near the pyramids until the foundations are complete, then scrapping those for guilds and rebuilding the camps near the stone. Just a little mechanism where I could tell my work camps to prioritize one structure first and then similar structures would be amazing. And side benefit, doing so would allow me to focus on one monument first and just spill over onto another. I also wish I could direct storage yards to collect resources from a specific storage yard. Sometimes I need to move goods long distances and it would be nice to use multiple yards to leapfrog those goods, something which isn't possible in game, to prevent the yard's only cart pusher from crossing the entire city for a single load. As it stands, storage yards can't collect their goods from yards set to "get" those goods. Or, an alternative I suppose would be making it possible to hire more cart pushers so they can actually move as many goods as they need.

[@peagames2002]

Hands down, when I've played this level specifically, it has been relatively hardest mission so far when chronologically playing. The need of completing monuments, while you have gem extorting armies threatening the safety of your city, while you need your army elsewhere to establish ties and trade routes to help raise population grids and sustain more work. Quite a juggle and likely a test of will between rookies and pros.

[@arwena1659]

It took me much longer to complete the map, maybe because I'm stingy and I like watching my savings grow, instead of using it to finish faster. I thought this map will kill me with constant military attacks. Every two years I'm being attacked or have to send my troops abroad (only 15%-20% come back). There were 3 other direction enemy could emerge from: at the very top of the map and left bottom corner and middle at the bottom. Attacks from behind the river were not that many, sadly.

[@bvraeqvete]

Oh man! I do love Pharaoh, its music, its style, everything is magical. You should start playing Poseidon series too! That one is the best, but I still love Pharaoh a tad more! :P

[@GamerZakh]

+bureaquete - Haha I can only start Poseidon if I ever finish Pharaoh and Emperor, so maybe in a couple years XD

[@bvraeqvete]

GamerZakh - dude that is so soon, maybe a decade is more suitable, since you are playing on the hardest mode. You also should cover the Cleopatra expansion ofc :)

[@LiberumCogitandi]

I go through this mission like this: first I build one gem mine and a dock. Next, I build a warehouse next to the gem mine (for gems) and one warehouse next to the dock (for jewelery). Then I build 16 Jewelers a little further from the dock so that they are connected to the jewelery warehouse but not connected to the gem mine. But before that, you need to pass the jewelery at least once so that there are 100 units in the warehouse, and after that you just need to clear the road. Now the most important step is to get Ptah's blessing. Usually I build 6 temples to Ptah and hold a festival for him. After some time, he will bless you and there are only three random options. The first option - all your jewelers will be provided with all the resources and at the end they will produce 3200 jewelery, which is just enough for export and a little more will remain in stock. The second option (the most successful) is a warehouse with jewelery instantly filled to the limit, therefore it is even better and faster. The third option is the most unfortunate - the warehouse with gems can fill up to the limit, which is not very good at the initial stage. This can be repeated as many times as you like and will significantly speed up the passage of this mission. The money received through exports is spent on the construction of several gem mines and the temple complex of Ptah. Before receiving Ptah's blessing, I used to fill the gem warehouse in advance (if possible) in order to exclude the possibility of a third blessing option. You can improve and complement my way of passing with your own options, I told you the fastest and easiest option, especially if you play on hard difficulty.

[@ItsReallyPoofy]

[@mjstudios97]

[@2712animefreak]

The funny thing is that the "medium" pyramid you were building here is supposed to actually be bigger than the "large" one from 2 missions ago. I guess this is a gameplay issue, as they didn't exactly want to torture people with building 2 Pyramid complexes.

[@Bossie93]

You keep on getting theft problems because of those one or two houses at the industries (they came from the housing at your dock in this map) you build without police stations nearby. Thieves will walk across the map to rob one's palace XD You literally need a firepost, architects post, AND a police station for every bit of housing.

Make the next video please! I just got back to Pharaoh and it has been challenging! Thanks for the tips, I didn't know about the aging of the people and that it actually matters. :) Also, when you collect the goods to sacrofice for the pyramid, it's good to dispatch them right away- just as you import them even if the pyramid is still building - that saves you the space in storages, you don't have to worry about them setting on fire and they don't look so messy as well:)

It took some time but eventually I got a message where Pharaoh called off the destruction of my City.

[@GamerZakh]

Yeah I think I didn't know about the reeds = malaria until later on in the playthrough. Didn't make the connection.

[@sridaliyanti7001]

Congratulations Zakh ! Yes it took a long time to beat the mission but in future missions gonna take a very long time especially in Hetepsenusret it took me like 3 hours straight to beat that mission... with that Grand Mudbrick Pyramid Complex and the Mausoleum. One thing that i like is when you have many gold mines like at Saqqara, i don`t have to import the raw materials such as clay, barley or anything like that, i just have to import the goods itself, Example : When I can`t export beer, I just have to import beer itself. If i can use beer for exports, well I have to import barley anyway and sell the beer. But sad, because there is not much mission that having as much Ore-Bearing Rock like Saqqara :(

[@GamerZakh]

Thanks! Yeah future missions take even longer haha. And I also love gold mines. If possible, I'd rely 100% on gold mines but I think only Byblos and a few early missions allow that.

[@alphachingon6920]

Watching your videos make it look like I’m cheating 🙈 I start importing everything needed to upgrade my houses up to fancy residences, also I start importing the needed raw materials up until my storage yards are filled with clay/barley/etc and stop importing pottery/beer/etc to make things run smooth without depleting my stocks. Only thing I really have to worry about is the need for employees and that problem I solve with building another housing block with meager shanty’s. This way I upgrade my houses up to modest estates in almost every mission eventhough their not needed to complete the mission. Palatial estates are a bit more tricky to build because it’s almost impossible to keep them up and running with imported goods, but I’m sort of an addict playing the game in this way. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I always run into depth but after that my prosperity rating shoots up to 100 and I never have to worry about money anymore.

[@MrJacqques]

How the hell do you afford to import everything from the start on most missions?

[@Kherti]

Those monuments take forever to build. The only thing you can really do is to build even more houses to have even more camps and guils and to place the monuments nearest to the sotrages, but still it takes forever.

[@nicolaammannati1928]

Good job Zakh ! For old People problem, you could store a lot of plain Stone in the start then, shut down industries when you reach the amount you need.. But this mission, however, is tooooo long in any case you afford it

[@hcshenoy]

Hey! Awesome video. However I don't understand why you don't evolve your houses further, just for the heck of it. Its not like you're losing anything, you can always start more industries and export more.

[@GamerZakh]

Thanks! Haha usually it's me being lazy to go through the extra effort. Not to evolve the houses but to deal with the unemployment. I also usually reserve evolving houses for times when I need a boost in population because of aging or a sudden need to set up a new industry. If the mission goes on too long I'll need to boost the workforce at some point.

[@Phantomsbreath]

So for what it's worth, selling stone, if you can find a buyer, is a decent way of bumping your cashflow. Especially when you've got as much as you do.

When you place a working building it sends out a walker. That walker needs to pass just 1 or 2 houses and then that building will have access to your entire population.

Also, If I remember correctly, sometimes the pyramid foreman screws up and has one quarter of the pyramid missing. Stonemasons can't smooth out this glitched pyramid, and instantly vaporize on the pyramid. Oh, wait, that was on an old computer... Havn't tested it with my Win 10...

[@xRevanchist]

+GamerZakh Some tips that will help you: 1 - You should start evolving the houses. The taxes you get and the space you save more than make up for the necessities they require. Also to train for later missions. 2 - Use more the overlays (like the crime). They help quite a lot. 3 - Religion helps a lot. All maps have a patron god and other local gods. The key here is population. Each temple supports 750 pop and a shrine 375 to a LOCAL god and half of that for the patron god (so temple 375 and shrine 187 each). You only need to keep that in mind so that they don't bother you. Example you got 2000 pop and 3 temples to a local god so he will be always "Congenial" (unless you make a festival). Temple Complexes support 8000 I believe 4 - Festivals. Doesn't matter how much you spend on them (always use the cheapest) and put them somewhere not connected to a road, that way you won't interrupt your workers (policeman, architect, etc). Always prepare a festival because the god's bonus are very good. 5 - Take a look at Sajuuk's (he is in the comments) housing blocks (he uses 2 in his let's play) as they are very good for high level housing. Do you realize that if finished, this will be the first LP of Pharaoh (Hard Difficult) in KZbin? Keep it the good work!

[@thaimosaone]

I suggest you should play faster and swifter than your first attempts.

[@GamerZakh]

Hmm? What do you mean?

[@thaimosaone]

I mean you should not hesitate when you are going to place key buildings.

[@GamerZakh]

Ah, got it. It's not that I'm hesitating, it's that I'm processing everything that's going on in the city's systems and how the new building is going to play into that system. For example, when placing a wonder, I'm thinking about the distances to all the resources required - Where am I mining limestone from? Where are bricks being processed? If I'm importing a resource is it a water route and is the dock too far away? Is this a vulnerable area to an invasion? And something I personally consider important, will the final structure look good aesthetically at that location? It takes a little time for me to answer all these questions in my head.

[@GamerZakh]

@@TurboKurva Did you watch the firemen on the fire overlay? You'll see how all those firehouses you built didn't walk by the lodge enough. You just have to put a firehouse at the end of a road with a roadblock to make sure they walk the same way every time. Fire risk is the same on every map in this game, if you don't figure it out now you'll find the same problem again and again. Send me a screenshot of this burning lodge and I'll show you how to fix it. You asked initially 'is it me', after having played this game for decades I can say 'yes' because there aren't any bugs to do with firemen in this game, but the walker mechanic is never properly explained in any of the Impressions games so it's normal to not know why things aren't working.

Hi! Thank you very much!!! Hi from Russia 🇷🇺! Tell me please, why pharaoh’s army kills me again and again? 😭 pharaon’s army is biggest than my army, I have 6 (!) forts, but pharaoh has more (!!) , and attack me every 6 month. I can’t end this gave. I haven’t money (I need to buy more and more cupper). They crash my city again and again 😭😭😭😭 maybe you know what to do ?

[@teresse2742]

Hey there, to prevent Pharaoh raids, you should do 2 things: 1) keep your kingdom rating up (no long term debt, Ra blessings help as well) and 2) fullfill Pharaoh and city requests on time. I struggled with this as well in earlier economy maps but he never attacked after I kept these rules. Hope it helps :)

[@GamerZakh]

Look up crudelios widescreen patcher. It's a small app that sets it all up for you.

anyone know how to get this in windowed mode ?

[@GamerZakh]

Where you select your resolution you can select windowed mode or full screen. Or are you having a specific technical issue?

[@sachitradw]

When employees get old, shouldn't you be destroy those housing and repopulate systematically?
