Hints

The Sea Peoples will attack from the North East, North and South by sea. If they land troops, they will do so anywhere with a clear straight piece of coastline.

Requests for troops and grain will test you in your early years here.

Speaking of events, Emperor Tomek, 1 of the world's top C3 players, sent me a list of all the events he encountered in Rowarty. Here it is:

A little caveat here - due to the dynamic requests system used in Pharaoh, what you get might vary from the above. However, it should give you an idea of what to expect ;).

As soon as you arrive, you should colonise the northern island with the marshland and produce plenty of papyrus for export. With the money made through this, build up a full complement of 6 warship wharves, and at least 4 academy-trained companies of troops.

When the Sea Peoples invade, try to take out the slow-moving transport ships out first. Then and only then should you concentrate on their warships. Troops can do a lot more damage than ships.

With Rowarty done and dusted, you and your dynasty ascend to the field of reeds, immortalised forever in tales of your deeds and your monuments.
