Designer's Notes

You have the option to build 2 small pyramids, a temple complex to Ptah and a mausoleum, these are not part of the completion criteria, but it would greatly enhance the beauty of your city if they were included.

There is no in-game time limit for this scenario, you may play and improve as much as you wish as long as the CC's are met in the entry sent.

A rise in price for copper occurs each December to remind you to save the game, copper serves no other purpose in this scenario.

A goal of 999 Palatial Estates is included to prevent the victory screen and should otherwise be ignored.

This scenario was tested by Lady Mags, my thanks for her help.
