Pharaoh A New Era - Trading Mechanics and Thoughts

So trading.. should be simple, and it usually is. But sometimes this game can be frustrating. Here is a rant, as requested, about how I go about trading and setting things up. Dock y u no work?!

Pharaoh A New Era is a full remake of the October 31, 1999 release of Pharaoh and its expansion Cleopatra. Here is what the steam page says: "Immerse yourself in the history of Ancient Egypt with 50 missions and over 100 gameplay hours in Pharaoh: A New Era, a remake of Pharaoh (and the expansion Cleopatra: Queen of the Nile), one of the best city builders from the golden age of Sierra Entertainment. Stone by stone, build your city and manage all aspects of its development to ensure it prospers and makes you a powerful and revered Pharaoh."

The dock system is so much nicer now - you can select which items the dock is allowed to trade, and the ships will visit multiple docks as needed - this means you can place your docks close to the production of the goods you want to sell, provided that there is space for one, and also then not have huge queues at the dock.

Sorry for the off-topic, but do you make Leauge of Legends-related videos as well for another channel? Your voice is so similar to someone who makes LoL videos.

Hey Wolf, great video! Question, what does the buy / sell price in the mission editor refer to, how many units does that represent? Weapons sell for 275 i think, but 275 for how many units? Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide!

Thank you for the great tutorials. I am currently stuck on Mission 7. I set up my map as you did, but no workers would cross over the barriers to staff the fishing wharves, reed gatherers, shipbuilder, and stock yards. The only way I could get them there was to build work camps and remove the blockades. Any idea why?

when Pharaoh requests food items, it can be fulfilled by taking it straight from the granaries, so no need to move the food items to the storage yard

Thanks for another super helpful video. Could you make a video about production? Like how many clay pits to potters you need? Ratios like that would be awesome.

I don't even know why the "as needed" option is there for. Always set trade manually.

In my testing the original game docks were bugged and ships were queuing indefinitely, while in the new one you can specify what goods each dock can trade with which make ships go to different docks

Thanks for the video! Just a question with trading by land, is it not more efficient to stockpile the traded resource and place the storage yard close to the beginning of the kingdom road, that way the trader doesn't have to travel through your city? Or doesn't it really matter?

Thank for ur video
I have 2question now
1.why sometime you don’t want the house to evolve?(by limit resources just like pottery, beer etc)
2.is it necessary for workplace(every building except house) to be close to house because sometime I place gold mine far from my house area and there r no worker even the road connect to city
Thx a lot

I've found docks to be a bit buggy in certain missions. I had to delete all but one dock on one mission as no trade ships would dock anywhere but this one location (I repeatedly checked & reset the trade settings, even deleted and reset all the docks). Started the level over and same issue, but in later missions the docks appear to work better. Having watched this I might replay the mission I found to be an issue just to double check it wasn't me misunderstanding the mechanics.

The ONLY thing I really wanted them to change is the trading system. I want to be able to tell which products I want to sell to which town. I see that this problem has not been addressed.

Nice video..Could explain the importance of roadblocks in the game

e.g. in the North-Dahschur campain i have a stable eco, but i can only import stone from one source. I am just waiting for this thing to finish, but i takes years and i have n action to make. Any guess to improve this?
