Subject: Last 4 years (1551 - 1548)

First the good news. Continuing our sequence of gifts to Pharaoh and complying with all requests will generate a KR of 100. Actually there is a little to spare. KR is 88 after the DEC 1548 reduction, 2 lavish gifts will push it to 100. There is 3 to spare but looking back I can�t see a useful place to drop 3 points.

Now the bad news. I was defeated in the last military campaign with 16 charioteers not academy trained. Previously I was defeated with 14 academy trained charioteers. We need to find the minimum necessary to win this as its worth 20 points. Sure hope it doesn�t require another fort.

So I gave up on the last military campaign and did not import any chariots after the MAR 1550 Byblos campaign. I could then use the money to build the things necessary to increase CR to 100. With a finishing population of 660, this requires 6 temples (2 to each god), 1 pavilion, 1 bandstand and 1 booth, a senet house, a library, and a zoo. The last three do not need to be supplied with beer, papyrus or straw, but they are expensive and they do need to be staffed.

Prosperity finished at 94. It was limited by the fact that I could not get the gift of luxury goods (from complying with the APR 1548 wood request) before AUG 1548 so there was only one PR increase available after my manors appeared. PR in JUL 1548 was 86. It is theoretically possible to have a PR of 90 in JUL that increases to 100 in OCT but everything has to be perfect. Will try for this next time around.

The DEC 1550 gift of 800 linen did not last me till the end of the game. I ran out about 3 months short. It might be a good idea to stockpile the linen for 2-3 months then linen would not need to be imported. I did pay the 500db to Pharaoh and there were no invasions.

Finished 26 points short of the maximum � 20 for the last troop request, and 6 for prosperity. Going to work on military now. Try to figure out what the minimum is to win the last battle, then I might have a go with infantry instead of charioteers.

One extra thought. As population is low, getting blessings is easy. It might be worth going for major Bast blessings which would reduce the amount of money spent on grain, game meat and beer. (Pottery is no problem with Ptah producing it for us)

Regards,
Elf
