Hello! Been binging your city builders the past week and want to interract by saying I'm from Sweden and I love your content. Thank you for having YEARS of content to catch up on.
Had no idea that the monument had to be in such a specific spot. Makes me glad that I'm watching someone else's approach to this. Minutes later: Those scorpions are INCREDIBLY aggravating.
Don't mind me I'm just having a Cleopatra-ZakhGasm. :D So happy to see you diving into these additional scenarios. This expansion really challenged me back then, and surely overwhelmed me a few more times than I would love to admit.
Glad to see you're playing the Cleopatra expansion for the first time! Having played Pharaoh/Cleopatra for years, Valley of the Kings is one of my favorite campaigns in the expansion. Hope you continue to enjoy it!
I really enjoy watching you play these games. You have an amazing knowledge of the game and good commentary of what's going on. Keep them coming! - BTW from Malta :)
Greetings from Latvia Zakh, glad to say your Caesar III playthrough inspired me to buy and finish these games from my childhood. (Have finished Caesar III!)
Legendary game. I used to skip school on rainy days just to stay home and play this all day. Also have the boxed editions as a proud part of my pc games collection ^^
Just found you today! @.@ Thank you so much for the new EXE. in the details! I have the awesome resolution now! I can't wait to go play.! Haven't even watched your video yet & had to subscribe! You Rock!
22:05 Nice to see I'm not the only person from Serbia watching your content. Half the people I 'meet' online have no idea where Serbia is. Most confuse it with Syberia and ask me how cold it is here :D
Long time fan of your Caesar playthroughs. Just finnished the forced walker challenge myself and thought I’d watch your Pharaoh/Cleopatra pt in case I wnna play it myself. Oh, and your Theme-/Two Point Hospital pts are amazing entertainment!
With the recent remasters of Warcraft 3, Command and Conquer being announced.I wish we would get remasters of pharoah,ceasar 3,rise of middle Kingdom, Zeus.
@@GamerZakh I figured out a faster way to build roads (or anything for a certain number of spaces): if you want like 16 houses, then just look at the cost of the road which should be 16+2 x 4 for the first road (=72), 16+1 x 4 for the next 2 lines (68) and only 16x4 for the last (64). same thing in Caesar 3 for the 9x9 or 7x7
Wow, finally Cleopatra, such a great game, also a certain uptick in difficulty compared to Pharaoh :) I guess some of the missions will give you a hard time, have fun playing
I'd love to see it working in 1080p natively without any problems, all bugs could be removed, new graphics/assets could be added, new missions etc. Yes, it's a great game, but it still could be better if done today
Actually there is incoming a game (however can't recall the name right now) in full 3D, pretty similar in terms of gameplay to Pharaoh, however it's still not accessable even as pre or early Alpha.
@Dr.Controversial : True, but sadly "Children of the Nile" failed to deliver what they promised, but, there's new Egypt themed game incoming ( ruclips.net/video/BRJKZ9WeQ2U/видео.html and watch from 8:50 ) called Hard Ancient Life which looks pretty much like updated Pharaoh.
I've never seen the Cleopatra Expansion, probably because my copy of Pharaoh didn't have it. So it's exciting to see whole different map's and buildings available. Also watching this from RUclips, so I was a little confused as to why you were talking as if people were there since I saw no chat during the video. And, to answer the other question I'm from England.
Yeah I stream on Twitch, though I've found I present better when there's a live audience even for the videos after, before I did it live I was more stale. And hello from Malaysia!
One of the first things you want to do if you can export pottery and chickpeas beer, copper ill get mining and production going as quickly as possible and set up as many trade routes as possible. Import whatever i need to get my housing levels up then eventually you wind up with a stupid amount of money. The only reason ive never beaten this game the kindom level is kinda hard on some missions.
my favorite childhood strategy game, along with age of empires 2 and Warcraft2, if you follow comments, please play the Quest for glory games, it's full of jokes and cool games, a hug from Brazil, I really follow all your content 🥰😁
Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying it all. I know of the Quest for Glory games but I've never played them myself, so it's a bit hard to jump back without the nostalgia haha. They do look like good games though.
would that painter who was shuffling whilst painting be the equivalent of an ancient Egyptian typewriter? Think he dings every time he gets to the end of a line?
Haha I'm not very popular in Malaysia, usually Malaysians don't play games like the ones I play. Usually I stream on twitch but right now no schedule because I just moved and things are very busy.
@@GamerZakh yeah they all rage bout dead by daylight things no one gonna stream game like this nowdays except for naz Perfomance page...he stream nostalgic 80-90s retro game like Mario, street fighter Popeyes and the geng... Quite rare nowdays 😉👍
@@GamerZakh Interesting. I felt the same about the festival square. Maybe it just boils down to, are you paying attention to the gods? Thanks for writing back.
Hey don't worry, it's hard to know about other countries' habits. I have to keep asking the audience about the countries their from for me to get a better idea.
It's possible but it can be hard or expensive to do. Emperor had multiplayer but it was very basic, but if you add a layer of grand strategy to the map and then improve military to be like Stronghold, AoE, Crusader Kings, or Total War then maybe.
Why is your screen scrolling smooth? I tried play Pharaoh and can't stand the scrolling and font readability. Screen scrolling is very rough like stuttering and font colour + its background colour makes it hard to read, it made my eyes pain because I had to be very close to the screen. I was using wide-screen patch mentioned in this video's description.
Hey! You need to get the Pharaoh Resizer app made by crudelios. It will make the game fit your screen. Might have to set the in-game resolution setting to the highest one.
You can get a widescreen fixer app from a user called Crudelios. If you can't find it, we host safe backups on discord.gg/GamerZakh, check the pinned comments on the city-building channel there.
Ooh, I need to refresh my memories and get this game again 💜 but... does it still run on newer systems like Win 8.1 without any problems? I've tried Zeus and it runs great 🙂 and do I need Pharaoh too to make Cleopatra run? The setup menu music is hauntingly beautiful 💜💜💜
If you buy it from GOG.com it will run on modern PCs fine. Pharaoh and Cleopatra come together, but if you're getting the game from another source then Cleopatra needs Pharaoh to run.
@@GamerZakh So I'm back with a little update: Pharaoh on CD runs on Win 8.1, praise Osiris! 🙏 However, I'm not sure if I've installed Cleopatra properly. First I've installed Pharaoh and it worked well. Then I installed Cleopatra and when I clicked on the Pharaoh icon, there was some kind of error... So I've uninstalled Pharaoh and reinstalled it. Pharaoh works fine now but I'm not sure where Cleopatra is. No icon on the desktop, nothing. How do I know if Cleopatra works? I used to play it yeeeears ago and I don't remember if it had a separate icon. Any ideas what went wrong?
@@lacrima152 I'm not sure as I haven't used a CD for it in like 20 years, but if Cleopatra installed you'll see a Cleopatra section of missions when you go to Choose a Mission screen.
@@GamerZakh So I've reinstalled Cleopatra and when I opened it, it didn't want to but finally, when I've used compatibility with Win XP, it runs, it finally runs! 🙏 I believe it's your good vibes, thanks 👍
I finished Pharoah, saw the scorpions on the map and clicked away and closed the game. Went back to Caesar3 and tried to beat Londinium even following your forced walker method and layout for the palaces and it just doesn’t work. I can’t get enough olive oil and wine even without giving it to anyone else to get through the city to the nearby warehouses even on the Augustus mod. They just devolve and I now have over 1M denari just letting it run for years. So I am back to watching this to see if the scorpions are that big of a deal and if Cleopatra is doable
You can just surround the scorpions with statues and they'll be trapped and no issue. If you need help though you can share screenshots or your save files on our discord, I or others can help see what's wrong.
Don't worry, got the last 3 Han missions rendered and that's going out tomorrow and for the next 2 weeks for 3 episodes. Then once Two Point Hospital finishes for streams I'll probably be able to replace it in the schedule with Emperor.

the only way to kill the Scorpions if you use the police officer defend the city
@@MrReg99 i thought soldiers killed them too. i havent played this in years so maybe im wrong about that.
@@krissyaubrey3129 actually you're right I almost forgot about them any units with weapons can kill any roaming animals
out some of my easy Pharaoh playthrough it'll be fun to learn from one another and see what kind of credits we can get from each other
I have to admit, I have never seen an 8 year let's play series before.
It both scares and impresses me. Quite awe inspiring really.
The game just gets very stressful at times so I tended to take breaks between dynasties, but also the game is very long lol

Btw we can build small statues around the scorpion breeding tiles to prevent them from moving around and causing carnage
Glad you enjoyed it! I knew about trapping the scorpions but I wanted to try not do that. They are really annoying though if you don't.
@@GamerZakh I figured out a faster way to build roads (or anything for a certain number of spaces): if you want like 16 houses, then just look at the cost of the road which should be 16+2 x 4 for the first road (=72), 16+1 x 4 for the next 2 lines (68) and only 16x4 for the last (64). same thing in Caesar 3 for the 9x9 or 7x7
