r/Pharaoh

Playing pne.

Initially was fun to get there and realize you had to import everything to get going.

Also learned you can build pretty Hi pop without even providing houses food was an eye opener.

However the pryramid building is slow.

The last few missions further on seem more of the same.

Build monument.

Import everything.

Make ghettos.

Is elite housing next?

I loved Pharaoh as a kid, and was really excited to learn there’s a new version.

I had an old laptop from 2017 and I recently upgraded to a 2020 desktop that was rarely used. I did a clean reboot and installed just the barest of programs. it is still a lot slower than I wish it were.

I proceeded to go to Steam and buy A New Era. I have been trying to play, but for every hour I manage to actually play there must be at least 3 I spend lagging.

I am at the Sea People’s level, desperate to finish it, and have spent all day just trying to load the game. it lags, freezes, and just shuts down. I have restarted my computer like 5 times.

is there something wrong with my computer? should I try downloading the game without Steam and just PHARAOHS TOMB my way to this level so I can finally win it? I’m really, really annoyed at this point. I wanted to spend my Saturday building pyramids, not rebooting my computer.
