There's an Invitation on the Community forum, by Kiya, Steward to the Lady MRed. If you want to know more...have a look here. A small message for the Lady herself, the palace is ready for re-modeling on the Community Forum.
Some one should tell them how to spell mastaba, though, this reads mustabah. I guess they didn't spend enough time on the demo... You can post your comments in the Community forum.
The Test forum is currently
hosting a Signature Showcase where you can display the hard work on you've done on your

Angel Draco is wondering about the fire risks in the Pharaoh game and whether the different regions or even areas of the map have different fire hazards. If you got any clues, you can share them here. Silver, one of our Lone Star
visitors, has made a start on map displays that will show up in HTML and won't be needing
Excel. You can find out more about them by following the link. And last but not least, the news has been archived...and, no, I did that before I read the Caesar 3 news headline...
There are a couple of other cool things I hope to have by then too - perhaps a download counter on the right hand side of this page and a few other things too. Then there's the walkthroughs, and buildings, and...woohoo! Tzar Heaven today has yet another exclusive - the first peek at the game's box art (which, of course, looks wonderful). Take a look while you still can! This shamelessly self-congratulatory news post was brought to you by...
Having been wondering for a while about what it was, I was pleased to see that Itchy has been busy posting in the Community forum to give more information about it: Moquel:
On the options menu, you can
choose Cities, and then you can choose Classical or Egyptic... Itchy: Most Egyptian cities actually have names from the ancient Egyptian period that bare no resemblance to what they're known as today. For example, Giza was called Rostjya by ancient Egyptians. Moquel: Oh... so it has to do with the names, I see... Itchy: Yes, although some cities have the same name regardless. A most informative exchange, I'd say.

After tremendous toil and the loss of blood (those paper cuts will get you every time), sweat and even some tears, the mighty monument is complete. Pharaoh for the PC is complete, and there is much rejoicing. Expect to see it on the shelves of your local game store in the second week of November. By now, you know what to expect from Pharaoh: you'll erect massive monuments that stand throughout the ages while leading your family to world-renown and building a kingdom unmatched in history. Here are the answers to a couple of questions that we haven't yet addressed: If you want to know what those question are that the newsletter addresses, then head to the newsletter archive to find out. |

nnovandora has brought us
some great news. She picked up a post by the Marketing Weasel, Alex Rodberg, in which he
stated Pharaoh will hit the shops between the 4th and the 8th of November. On both sides
of the Atlantic!

Nights. The other is the Colour Gradient tool used by many that haunt the Pharaoh
forum. You can find the 
fter a fairly quiet week in
Rome I am greeted by a forum almost as quiet. Some things are happening, though.
or the last couple of days,
I've been doing some behind-the-scenes work on the site, getting it ready for when Pharaoh
hits the shelves sometime in the next couple of weeks. Even if I do say so myself,
it's going to be really cool. For a taster of what our download section will be
like, for example, you might want to take a surf over to 
ere's something that's been
bugging me since the beta test started. In the "Options" menu, there's a
bit that says "Cities - Egyptians". When you click it, it becomes
"Cities - Classical".
