I need help on the campaign that I become Pharaoh in the computer game Pharaoh. I am on the one that I have to build a mauselum(spell), a medium mudbrick pyramid and a small mudbrick pyramid.
So why should we help you? What reasons do you have to get us to help you with your “campaign?”
The Egyptian god Anubis can’t build a freakin’ mudbrick pyramid?
Hi to all the people that are selling me
Here’s one straight from the factory
They sew my eyes up in their sockets
I stick my hands into their pockets
Is there anybody there?
I could swear I’m not alone
Show your faces if you dare…
“Pharaoh” by the Church
I haven’t played Pharoah in a while. But I’ll try to help. What’s the problem? Can’t get a monument built? Did you set aside all the offerings for it?
Or is it just taking freaking forever, hour after hour after hour of watching people wander around town and very slowly drag piles of stone around?
That game is hella fun in the early part of each mission, but once you get to the end game, it always seemed to take about five to ten HOURS of waiting for things to get built. I’d save the game, go wash some dishes, come back in 15 minutes and deal with anything that had happened. I stopped playing once I realized that it had become an interactive screen saver.
A thousand eyes, a thousand ears
He feeds us all, he feeds our fears
Don’t stir in your sleep tonight, my dears
We’re all working for the Pharaoh
[…]
Hidden from the eye of chance
The men of shadow dance a dance
And we’re all struck into a trance
We’re all working for the Pharaoh
–Richard Thompson, Pharaoh
Really! You took the words right out of my mouth, Revtim.
No, for some reason my prosperity rating refuses to go up even though I’m doing everything that needs to be done to get it up. I can build a stupid pyramid. But come to think about it, I have laborors up th yinyang, bricks and limestone up tih yinyang, it’s flood season, so the pyramid should be being built right? Well its not. Anyone tell me why?

Okay, it’s been a year or so since I played, so this might be a little off…
Prosperity is based on availability of stuff from merchants, closeness to religion, availability of water, and distance from nasty things.
On the various advisor screens, are there any messages about problems? If you go through all the views (fire danger, water availability, etc.) are there any hot spots that need pacifying? Are you sending gifts to Pharoah? Have you paved all your streets? How about replacing the wells with gardens once your water distribution network is running?
