To these I would add another link on Production Rates, by Nerdicus Production Rates I use this table all the time.

Jimhotep's post #14 in this thread has a comprehensive chart of all the factors determining city sentiment. It's definitely on my list of standard references.
http://pharaoh.heavengames.com/cgi-bin/pharaohcgi/display.cgi?action=ct&s=aaJfK9SF.cm2o&f=3,1450,1,0

Jimhotep has posted a bunch of other useful, basic information. This thread covers just about everything needed on gods and blessings:
http://pharaoh.heavengames.com/cgi-bin/pharaohcgi/display.cgi?action=ct&s=2a7iQdlvXHSEs&f=3,1442,1,0

And this thread, though perhaps "advanced" in its material, is really useful for working out the specifics of combat (and what those numbers in the model.txt actually mean):

The official site has a briefing section on the various missions here at http://www.pharaoh1.com/info_walkthrough.shtml

That way you can start to plan in advance and use what you just learned on the prior city plus search the forum for advice on the new challenges you will encounter.

I was going to add a link to Grumpus' site (the more recent one on topcities.com), but when I tried to access it just now all I got was a "file not found" error message. Does anyone know if the site is gone? Or is this one of those internet things that just happen sometimes and in an hour or whatever the site will just magically reappear? Just in case it is the latter: http://irvdon.topcities.com/index.html.
If the site should actually be gone, there is always the older version: http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Horizon/2974/pharaoh/index.html. Of course it hasn't been updated since Grumpus moved the site to topcities.com, but it's still full of useful information.

I found earlier today that his site was down, but since it was working earlier this week I presume its just a short term glitch. I'm sure Grumpus wouldn't let all that wonderful information disappear

That is a very good list Memsurs. I am honored that you included some of my posts.

The link to the “Housing Level Chart” is not correct. (Very easy thing to do when putting together a post full of links.) While you are editing your post to correct the link, you might also want to add a link to the “Pharaoh/Cleo Structures Chart” that I put together based on information furnished by Nero Would. The desirability information on the structures is especially useful, and it is a quick way to check to see if a structure needs coverage by fire marshal and/or architect.

Thank you VitruviusAIA. I have updated the link and added the Pharaoh/Cleo Structures Chart. I don't know how I missed that one, I have printed it out and look at it all the time lately. I guess it comes from posting while I am at work (shh, don't tell my boss! )

bump...... I need some of these links!

Hi y'all,

Could someone be so kind as to put a link to Brugles 'Which way to Thebes'....I,ve lost it....cant find it.....!!!

Ta much

Rocky, I think it was Grumpus' page and the one that isn't anymore. Many people have wondered where it has gone?...

BTW, I found a way to get to see his opening page... I searched for it using Google, just writing "which way to thebes" and Google of course found it. I then chose the "cached" version (in the Google result page). Then, whalla ( as somebody wrote here and quite deliberately I believe ), there it was. Of course, you can't do anything with it, the links won't work and so on).

Grumpus The Elder's old site is still up, although it hasn't been updated for a long time. Some of the more recent information is missing, and some of the links don't work.

Most of the information is still there. You will find it here: Which Way to Thebes?.

Thanks V-AIA

Nefermenu,
Is "whalla" the same as "oo-us loo-us?"

Ilion,
I do not know "whalla", neither "oo-us..." but I think Nefermenu meant "Whelleih" (North African translation of the likely meaning of Whalla.

I think she[edit]he [/edit] meant voila...french for 'bingo'...

[This message has been edited by C Franziskus (edited 07-28-2001 @ 11:59 PM).]

Exactly. And I mangle 'viola' into 'oo-us loo-us' (I think the derivation was something like viola ... waalaa ... waaslass ... oousloous) I guess it's a hick thing (even though I'm not really a hick).

Well, you know what they say ... "Sail a vee" or maybe it's "Say, Lovee"

Ilion, I oove last one:
I was not sure of the French "Voila" which would rather be translated by "Job done" or "That is it" but I would bet "Sail a Vee" comes from the French "C'est la vie" (that's life").
I recently learnt from them that Mexican "Mariachi", famous guitar singers you see in every John Ford or Peckimpah, comes from the French "Mariage" (wedding). Much French has become idiomatic from Louisiane(a) to California (due to Napoleon III but mostly to pirats).

This is quite off-topic of course (sorry), but...

What's that 'oo-us loo-us'? I've never seen that.

I've seen both whalla and viola, and both probably come from
French voila with something extra on top of the a letter. I take it whalla is pronounced like voila, and the viola is just the vowels changed.

They were just so funny , they stuck to my mind, and I'm going to use them now and then, maybe provided that the people I speak to know how it should be written. But then again, does it really matter?

But really, when I first read those terms, I was ROFL!

And the "Sail a Vee" is just hilarious!

Tryhard,
I'll bet Jean le Fete (I have no idea if that's how his name was spelled) the Carribean pirate, knew how to "Sail a Vee"

bumped... (by request)

I've updated this list some. I added JWorths recommendations in reply 2 and the Advanced Cities section.

added 4 more links... VAIA's wonderful consumption of food and goods, Ben the Vizier's calculation of the scoring formula, Brugle's original Brugle Storage Yard post, and Baltic's Rosta post.

Can a kind angel make this thread into a sticky, please? It's the second time around I searched for it today .

added wolfie's Cleo commities sheets link

Hello all!

Memsurs:
It's an honour to have a link to my post about the score here!
Many thanks!

Bye,
Ben The Vizier
