I've been installing, playing, and un-installing these games since they came out, though I usually quit before I make it to the end out of frustration with certain aspects. For some reason, your videos popped up in my Recommended list and I found myself re-installing and playing again. Trying out some of your build strategies has been interesting and helpful in some of these uglier missions for sure! Thanks!
А я никогда не убираю дороги, которые были изначально) Ни разу не строил по такой стратегии!👍🏻 Статуи вообще не строю, если хочу улучшить место - то строю Shrines, или храмы. Так и место улучшается и бог рад
quill18 is currently doing a let's play on Pharaoh. He has progress to this mission now. He is using a somewhat "organic way" to build wherever he can. But open end layout usually doesn't pan out well if not aware of walker limit and not careful with crossroad placement. I wonder how long his playthrough will last?
I may have to check it out, but considering he's a big youtuber, it wouldn't make much sense for me to try and assist him as there's too many people who would criticise anything that I would suggest. :/ EDIT: Took a look, I'm cringing at how badly he's playing. Open ended layouts like the one he's using, without roadblocks, isn't working. It's like he's just picked up the game and decided to make videos of it, without actually knowing how to play the game at all (evident by him getting Osiris angry) >_>
I looked at it and I'm sorry to say that I don't think it will work. I watched a few of the videos and am cringing so badly at how he's playing. It's clear to me that he just decided one day to purchase this game and make videos, without actually having a clue as to how to build cities in an efficient manner. I don't see the LP succeeding in any shape or form: even GamerZakh can do better and he's been out of the game for a year >_>
Sajuuk's Let's Play's Well, everyone has to start somewhere :P. Perhaps it could even be fun. Considering major youtuber usually don't have much time because they have to bring out as much content and as many games as possible, I doubt there is time practicing. But Quill18 a fast learner, as I've seen many his let's play in the past. He can pick up difficult games and turn around pretty fast (dwarf fortress level difficulty) I have more faith in what he could come up with, maybe some interesting layout in the future. Like at first I didn't expect Zakh can create his own kind of flower pattern design out of old 9x9 designs in Caesar 3. Perhaps quill can give us a surprise. The missions are still young so to speak :). P.S. And I am eager to see if someone can pull off a no-roadblock Pharaoh city on camera. I know I can do it, but a fully connected road network is quite a challenge (using forced walker or disconnected blocks are easier)
***** True, but personally, with Pharaoh you need to play at least half the game first before actually trying to make a video series out of it (like, at least up to Rostja to get a flavour of the mission types). We'll see how he does, but I don't hold my hopes up for a decent playthrough. Skorch was pretty decent (despite the fact he only reached Bahariya Oasia) and so is Zakh. I'll check his videos from time to time, but I don't expect a great playthrough, just due to watching how badly he performed in the early tutorial missions :/
Well, sometimes know how NOT to do it is also fun XD And this got me thinking maybe Quill will do better with Caesar 3, since it originally didn't meant to use gatehouses as roadblocks, and force players paying attention to walkers. Players have to obtain certain mind sets and get used to walker-oriented city building. I think Quill still played it like Simcity with "zoning" habit, such as when he looked at a particular service problem, he seems to think it has a service range circle.
You should try out housing blocks sometime: Placing houses on the outside of loops and services on the inside. That way you can have industries outside accessing the labor force.
not really sure how but i wasnt producing as much fish as you were while i tried following this. near the end had to make a new area so i could keep up production of beer and linen.
I can't offer much advice, but to produce large amounts of fish requires you to be efficient with fishing in general. A small number of wharves (about 5 or 6) nearest the fishing point will produce the most fish, as will having all fish go to a storage yard near the wharves and using distant granaries to "get" the fish for consumption.
Ya, I did that because I wanted to accept the bricks but I didn't need them. Sometimes if you ignore gifts, bad things happen (one such example is Dakhla Oasis, where ignorance of a gift results in mission failure)
Technically my housing loop is a form of housing block. Also, building the housing inside the loop ensures that houses don't evolve to manor level and ensures I'm not spamming statues everywhere to raise desirability. :)
Hi there! On Very Easy difficulty (which this walkthrough was played on way back in the day), there is no malaria risk in the game. I recommend trying to evolve housing to Common Residence or Elegant Residence: by that level, malaria risk is non-existent. If you can't reach that level, then simply place a few apothecaries in your housing blocks to keep the risk from increasing on low level houses :D
Mish Mash Mush Why ask a question if you are going to disable replies to it? Also, if you can't hear sound in this video, it is a problem on your end as there is sound in this video.
Yeah, this mission can take a while, but if you get started on the monuments early, it can help. I can appreciate on higher difficulties that this may not be possible, but get the money flowing, then build monuments as soon as possible. :D
Yeah it takes ages. when you start the mission I thought you might have to fill the middle sized monument with goods to get your monument rating up not build 3 geez lol it was on hard as well its so brutal problem. Am on the mission where you have to sell loads of wood. Quite enjoying it.
Lee Johnston Hah, yeah. You don't get the joys of burial goods until Mission 8 xD Hope these videos are of use to you, despite the difference in difficulty levels! :D

Adore Pharaoh! One of my favorite strategies of childhood 😌

Glad to hear my videos helped! If you've any questions, just ask in the comments and I'll try to help :)

OMG you deleted a storehouse full of bricks only to fill it with more bricks :0.. but great video all the same :))
How come your huts never get malaria? Its not very impactful but i keep getting that

If you are playing on higher difficulty levels, try to concentrate very much on finding an export industry first before doing anything else.
I hate this mission the tombs take ages. I just passed it today.

Oh can't wait. Not! haha. Cheers man
No sound?
