Strategy games looked so much better back then.
3D was a mistake.

You can't barter gold?

I do not understand this joke.

lolbergs BTFO

You can, but they're collecting it in the palace and converting it to currency.

There you go thinking again, user.

...

You're the only one.

i dont think the rock formations shown in your screenshot exist in the real world either, checkmate, everybody uninstall this piece of shit

NOW

meant for you

WE

WUZ

Fix your anglais.

These games were so fucking comfy.

L'Acadie?

Icebergs can laugh?

this

This isn't Ptolemaic Egypt, you dumb. It's supposed to take place before the Old Kingdom.

Ah, but before or after they introduced the Israelites?

That statue is Sumerian and the Jews have never settled in Egypt (excluding Sinai).

read your bible son

Why did they mine gold and copper then, dummy?

Most of the bible is just Jewish fairy tales.

to craft jewellery, and basic electronics like batteries

To make batteries and electronics to send their mummies into space.

That's nice, you're still the only one that thinks they used a barter system.

Man, I do miss these city building games that took place in ancient world. They were just that much more comfier than games that take place in modern times.

And look at that fucking UI, it's so fucking comfy.

I wish there were more games set in Ancient Egypt. Last one I recall was 'Pharonic' and it's literally We Wuz the game.

...

...

Before. Way Before.


Jews were in Egypt at least as early as the 16th century BC.


Not the parts that can be confirmed by archeological evidence. Like the fact that large populations of southwestern semites dominated the Nile Delta during the Second Intermediate Period.


For weapons and jewelry. They even carried pretty but useless weapons as jewelry.


Also this.

Bling Blings fo dem Egyptian rappas, cuz ya kno we wuz kangs n shiet.

Why dont more games have an egyptian aesthetic or utilise their mythos in some way

Sweet trips. Fuck the Egyptians for enslaving G-d's chosen people.

The only source that describes them as slaves is the bible. Egyptian sources, along with hard physical evidence, show that the Semites murdered many nomarchs in Lower Egypt, took over the government, and made the Egyptians their vassals for centuries.
Read about the Hyksos.

It's just fun building your city without any immediate threats.

This is why I love Anno 1404.

You joke, but some people still believe the eternal victims were enslaved by the Egyptians.

ya gassin'' me goy

I knew they weren't actually slaves, but I didn't know the semites actually did that shit. Pretty typical for the time, but still pisses me off with them attempt to claim to be enslaved.

That's what they said about the Hittites and Tyre.

Some people still think it was Jewish slaves that built the fucking pyramids when the truth is that they were built by well paid Egyptian workers and soldiers.

reported for antisemitism
reparations for Egyptian enslavement of god's chosen when?

Some may have been slaves. Some Jews may have been slaves to some other variety of Semites and vice versa. We can't really say for sure which of these Semites were Hebrew and which were not because it is so long ago and also it is more a matter of personal beliefs than of blood.

Actually the bible doesn't refer to the jews as slaves either during their time in egypt. All it says is the egyptians treated the jews very badly because they feared the jews might side with their enemies.

You wouldn't happen to have a torrent for this would you? Please

The Bible describes them as laborers. You can interpret this as they were slaves, or the working class, or a faction of contracted workers. It isn't specific. It's just been translated as "slave" for a long time.

Exactly who their overlords were would depend on the time the story takes place. Josephus claims it took place when the Ethiopians were in control of most of Egypt. However, the only physical evidence we have of a mass Semitic exodus would be around the time Ahmose drove the Hyksos out of Avaris, which happened much earlier, around the time of the Thera eruption. This would mean that their overlords would have been Baal-worshipping Canaanites, or even other Hebrews.

also, didn't this game have an expansion or something?

This is in english right? Pardon me for asking

nevermind I see what is going on, thanks for the link. I have 5 games now from anons on here that I need to install and play.

That site also has an English version, sorry:

feels good

i thought they were just paid whit food an shelter, that most of those megaprojects were made to keep people busy after the harvest season

Most of these megaprojects were dick-measuring contests between politicians. It's also arguably one of the factors that played into the economic collapse that destroyed the Middle Kingdom. For a long time, only those with noble blood and descended from the god could enter the afterlife. Then, during the Middle Kingdom there is a cultural renaissance called the "democratization of the afterlife" where the belief that everyone enters the afterlife began to spread. Now every noble who can afford a tomb after death is making it as lavish as possible and cramming in as much crap as he can to maintain his status over the common folk. Now the corn and beer and metals that keep the Kingdom strong isn't making it to the Pharaoh because corrupt nomarchs are skimming off the top to fill their tombs.

This game reminds me of an old friend. It gives me the feels. I remember playing this with them before I had my own computer.

...

But my dear Schlomo that's not even a statue

Maybe /his/ should trying visiting /his/ once in a while. Someone needs to keep that grave well tended.

*clay tablet


Do you have single fact to back that up?

The ethnic background of the Hyskos is practically unknowable since they never wrote anything down. They were probably like the Sea People, a mixed group.

It's knowable if you look at the art they left behind, which resembles that of art from south western palestine at the time. Combine that with their unique religion, which was a hybrid of the Egyptian Set and the Canaanite Baal. Combine that with the mummies they left behind and the records left by Egyptians that described the migration of Semites into the Nile Delta. Combine that with the fact that they called themselves "aamu" which means Asiatic and the Egyptians called them Hekau Khasut (how the Greeks got Hyksos in the first place), which means "kings from the mountainous region," which would be Palestine. Combine that with the various records that describe their flight back to Sharuhen after Ahmose expels them to Avaris.

When you consider all that, to assume they were anything but Southwestern Semite is a stretch.

Oh… also the language they wrote in.

What a steaming pile of a board.

Read up on damnatio memoriae some time. It will be relevant to everyone once "Right to be Forgotten" becomes enforced on Google.

the treasury needs to be full of treasure. not eggs pottery and goats

What a shame, to many good boards have died

name one good board that died

What is the sauce of this picture? Is it just porn or is there a point?


I think I still have mine, but I'd have to go digging through some old boxes to find the manuals and stuff.

A deben is a unit of weight when it comes to gold and copper in ancient Egypt. Those gold bars on the cart are solid fucking huge things, and there are 4 of them. Considering you get 200 Db per cart at the palace, each bar is 50 Debens.

The artist is Milo Manara, and he draws the typical Euroshit comics, great art but abysmal writing.

It's not even porn proper.

(checked)

Not surprising, and really should be expected given some of the historical inconsistencies that already are known to those that pay attention.

Jews were not in Egypt. That's WE WUZ KANGS tier idiocy.

It's just another sob story they tell the goyim for pity points, same as the holohoax.

Someone stop this antisemite

WE

I came here to prove you right

Come on, archelogical evidence says otherwise

Apparently they were, but not necessarily as slaves.

From what I've read Egyptians hired archers from Canaan and Assyria to remove Kushites all day long

Just started AoW the other day, man that mission took me ~100 days because I had to go find the frostling hero. Game is really neat.

The comic name is Unholy Fellatio and there's a second one called Servant of Isis. They're both on exhentai.

Absolutely. Unfortunately, from experience I know that normalfags are allergic to 2D graphics. And we all know where the money is.

I'm amused because a lot of 2D sprites were just rips of 3D models. Maybe its the lighting or flexible resolution of objects that makes it not aesthetically pleasing

How the hell do i make money? taxes leaves a meager income and i cant trade because no trade routes and every city only exports products, a monetary systems barely justifies whit such low demand, my storages are filled whit papyrus, beer and linen, my citizens could use linen as tiolet paper.

Tell me the game fucker

Pharaoh

So i was inspired to read up on roman history


>Germanic Muslim immigrants with dubious loyalty to Rome western values overwhelmed the empire the EU
Fun fact, Rome at its peak was about 55 countries big, comparable to the EU. History really does fucking repeat itself

now i am stuck on the msion wer you have to buil the capital and you have to buy some bricks, even thugh the money and the gifts are not enough

muslims are accepted on europe mostly to keep the economy runing because of the extreme natality drop

I have a great need for brown egyptians qts.
what are some games were i can get some?

This game is really fun but i was so bad at it i dumped it back then.
Fuck me, i'll give it a try again later.

I am sure you will enjoy this video.

Start selling papyrus to the southern city on the world map. You have to reach a certain milestone before that unlocks.

Anyway, now that I've been playing a bit, is there a good place to get plugins, like customs scenarios or more variety in beautification. I wish there was some kind of free mode with random maps.

one of the big reasons they let various barbarian tribes and nations settle in the Empire was for economic purposes
goy, we need muslims and mexicans or else the economy will collapse

Those damned Muslims and Mexicans ruined the Roman Empire!

Did the barbarians practice 1.4k years worth of incest, though? That shit will fuck you up hard, and some of its effects are really only easy to get rid of via positive eugenics.

Oh it's the germans are like shitskins meme.

Usually brought up by shitskins.

Also this is Holla Forums go be shitskin somewhere else.

a political rating milestone?


the romans were the ones who built their economy dependant to slaves and agrarian imports, they crippled themselves and dont forget about the lead.


that guy needs to quote the quran more and quote less the interpretation of other persons on the past motivated by political reasons.


they weren't pretty civilized, they often executed ritualistic canibalism and human sacrifices, the ones that the romans couldn't conquer were the wilder ones

No. Set up your industry and let the houses level up. You have to get the houses up to a certain level by providing food water religion education and a courthouse.

i already got past that, you might be mixing things

Even Hitler acknowledged that the Germanics were savages in those days.

If you're up to the point where it's asking you to build a masaba, then you have unlocked trading. Click on the world map, find the city that buys payrus, click to pay to open trade. Then go to commerce screen, click papyrus and set how much you want to export. There's a limit to how much they'll buy a year depending on your reputation.

Thanks OP, now I have to install it again.
In the meantime, here's the best music in the game.

I miss Zeus and old Caesar games.
Please come back Sierra and save video games.
