Want to just test the waters of the Nile? Need to know how you make those cute smiley faces? Snicker over here.
Anyway, there is a revealing preview with screenshots and a list of the new features such as "idiot-proof map and scenario editor." I wouldn't be so sure about that feature since I have not been able to test it yet :-). I really love the way you can see a water gradient and the reflections of ships, it adds so much depth...er, literally too! Although off battling Teutons in the Black Forrest, Angel RR reported in and quickly set up a forum thread to discuss the preview. Vent your opinion by clicking on this. Also, Cherub mouse has been very efficient setting up a Test Forum. Well, done nefermouster! Why not scurry over and twitch noses with her?
Right, enough nonsense. Now what is this I hear about complaints concerning the lack of a save button on the demo? That's usually the case with a demo, right? Well, I know that may sound a little easy to all of you who are just dying to play and, indeed, replay the demo. Not to worry, I fully remember the time when I was waiting for any snippet of info about my favourite game and had no hopes of a beta and a demo was far off. I sympathize, I really do. My best advice to you is to remember that it is a demo and to just enjoy it. The real thing can't be far behind.
Angel Dracoenkhamen informed me that the current issue of PCGamer is also carrying the Pharaoh demo. So if you don't want to spend hours next to the phone, you can buy the magazine. Tomorrow will see you in the capable hands of Angel Alexander I as I'll be off to Rome again. Oh, Alex...don't wander off too far into the uncharted depths of the Pharaoh forums...
Another place to download the demo was pointed out to me by on eof our fans. It can also be found at GameSpot. According to their statistics, it takes: 14.4Kbps - 10 hrs 28.8Kbps - 5 hrs 56Kbps - 156 mins.
and
I guess this means a few more hours of patience...in the mean time you can read this C-Net preview For those of us in Holland.
Today I picked up the November issue of PC Zone at the railway kiosk. Over at Caesar III Heaven we are having a bit of a party...Wendoolicus has organised a Reunion, but everyone is welcome to browse over and have a good time. |

ots of plans are being
worked out for when Pharaoh will be released. When is that I hear you shout in unison?
Well, latest guesstimate would be the beginning of November. From what I hear about the
preparations I can tell you that once the game is released our site content will rival the
Pyramids themselves in stature.
orry about yesterday's
update, ISP decided it didn't like my login yesterday. Hey, did you notice that the
fruitcake updating over at HGS Main is really quite normal now? I'm not sure I like the
change though.

Despite all the warnings I have shown up at the site where strange things haunt an austere
land. I promise not to wander off into the uncharted regions of the windswept land of
Fori.

time creating the cast of characters for the
