Bury a Hero - designed by Baltic

Difficulty level - OPEN

One of the greatest war leaders in history dying. Mar-sh'all, the glorious hero in the war against the Nubians, is coming to the end of his days in this life. When he dies, he must be honored as befitting a great soldier of the Egyptian Nation. Pharaoh has decreed that the general will be buried in a pyramid near his native village, with generous gifts for the afterlife.

Your task is to build his pyramid and produce or import enough goods to fill his tomb. To guard the general's journey to the Field of Reeds, Pharaoh commands you to build a small city nearby. You should be able to export many of the local products to provide income for your task, but be warned, the trade route to Abu is very unstable due to military activity in the area. There is the possibility of other trade routes opening during the next few years, so be alert to changing trade opportunities. From time to time, Pharaoh may request something from you, but of course, that is to be expected as any member of Pharaoh's staff surely knows by now.

The Nubians hated and despised Mar-sh'all and would consider it a great achievement to delay or even prevent this final recognition of the old general by the Egyptian Nation. Their sneak attacks will trouble you, and although Pharaoh can not supply you with copper or weapons, but you should be able to defend the city. Pay close attention to the gods, they can help you greatly in your efforts, or complicate your task if you ignore them.

Good luck to you!

Hints:

• Be quick! The old general is not expected to live much longer and Pharaoh is anxious that this task will be completed before the memory of his great contributions fade from the Nation.
• Message announcing "granite price increase by 1 Db" is reminder for required December save and is not part of game play.
