Pharaoh Heaven News Archives

Look out for it in a couple of weeks, I'd guess. Comments can be placed here.
Anyway, whatever the headline, the fact remains that there is a new screenshot up at Pharaoh1.com today. This one shows what looks to be a small obelisk enclosed by some rather nice housing. Follow the link above to have a look, and then post your comments here - Itchy has confirmed that this is an actual in-game screenshot rather than something created in the map editor. I've updated the links page with another couple of sites that got sent my way: I'm still looking for any others, so don't forget to mail me the link if you've got one or know of one!
If you know of any more, or you run one yourself, then drop me a line and I'll put you in there. As is customary on the Internet, a link back to us in return would be appreciated. I hope the changed to this page have gone down ok. I haven't had any complaints in the Website Comments forum about it, but then I haven't heard many people saying they're good either. I'll take that as a good sign, but don't forget that the forum's there if you want to say something about this site.
I'll get all the things you people searched for every week or so, and I might post some of them up here. Not sure about that yet though. A new poll is also gracing the navbar on the right. This one was suggested to me over ICQ yesterday by my friend Robert, so thanks for that. This'll last 21 days, so you've got plenty of time to get voting. Who knows, perhaps we'll see Pharaoh on the shelves by the time this poll comes to an end. In a similar vein to this, I've changed the bit of blurb below the logo at the top to reflect the fact that Pharaoh will not definitely be a November release. No chance of it hitting the shelves in October now. Still, as I've said several times to people who have complained, that's not bad - it shows that Impressions (interesting poll on their main page, by the way - perhaps preparing the ground for the next City-building game?) wants to iron out all the little bugs before release. Congrats to Sierra and Havas Interactive for not rushing them to finish. I have uploaded another Excel Spreadsheet from MRed94 to the strategy section. This one details how you might go about setting up a palace block, and is an adaptation of a formular developed by Cherub MartyParty of C3Heaven. It is in Excel 95 format, and I've converted the other one so it is as well. Phew...nearly done with the news. Here comes the big item I promised yesterday on C3Heaven: Do you want to work for Pharaoh Heaven? Do you want to be part of Heaven's Gaming Sites? Then here's your chance. I'm looking for someone who can work with graphics packages, primarily to cut units and buildings out of screenshots, and then make the background transparent. You can see the sort of things I'm after over at C3Heaven (buildings section), and here in the Pharaoh Heaven units section. The successful applicant will be ready to work very hard in the week or so after release to get all units and buildings done, and I won't be impressed if there's any slacking (sorry to be firm, but it's necessary). If you're interested, then please follow the following instructions:
Applications which conform to the above guidelines will be reviewed by the Angels here at Pharaoh Heaven over the next week or two. We will then decide who we chose to become a PH Cherub, and will email them. Our decision is final, and any "please, please, please let me be a cherub" emails will be ignored. In fact, they will count against the applicant concerned. We want mature people (in terms of behaviour, not necessarily age) at HGS, and such emails do not display maturity. The deadline for applications is this Thursday, that's 21st October, at 23:59 EST. I look forward to receiving your applications. I'm sure we'll find the person we're looking for to take some of the load off the beleagured Angels here.
(waiting for you to have a peek at the link...) So you're surprised? So was
I. Imperial Conquest is "yet another name" for Tzar. Maybe you can still make a
difference, so don't hesitate to mail the address displayed on the Tzar news page. Back to Egypt. In the Test forum, people are busy experimenting with their Egyptian signatures. Now all we need is a mini set of hieroglyphics...or a font... The Community forum has some thoughts on the use of juggler booths, book recommendations, and a who's who thread started by our new cherub Gustavia. No points as to who has taught her about these...
From our reporter at the
Great Temple of Karnak. A small cherub walks into the crowd and take the hand of a high-born lady standing amidst the masses. She leads her friend up to the angels and golden light and mirth peels down from the skies. "Behold, our youngest" "Behold Cherub Gustavia" You can congratulate her on her newly elevated status in the Community forum.
The suggestions here may actually help you with the straw problem some of us are experiencing. In the Community forum we are talking music, sacrificing cats, and "stupid questions". One last thing... You might remember the posts on the Caesar 3 forum where Tim the Great was asking for question to pose to me in an interview? Well, he's had his questions, his interview and is now offering to send you the results. |

t's the day so many of us
have been waiting for - Pharaoh has gone gold! Here's what they say on 
n second thoughts, make
that headline Obelisk Screenshot - I must have been reading too many
Asterix books recently.
hanks to those of you who
responded to yesterday's request for fansite links. I've added the sites I received
(those that I could get through to and check out, anyway) to the links page. The
newer ones are:
e've got buckets and
buckets of news for you today. First off, we have a little 
omebody told me bells ring
when an angel gets her wings, and something giggles when a cherub gets hers. Disclaimer
