Pyramid never finishes

[Isabell]

Hey everyone,

I want to build a stepped pymarid complex (Medium). There are two problems:

(1) The pyramid complex seems too complex to finish. Somewhere along the way a bug arises and the workers stop working. I have abundant supplies and loads of workers. But at some point after 4 or 2 steps the pyramid stops to be worked on. I've already restarted the mission, I've rebuilt all the workers places (guild building...) and I've made several attempts of building the pyramid in one mission. Nothing's helped. Any ideas?

(2) From time to time there`s an invasion. Nothing too serious really! My army can handle it. But after the invasion the screen is kind of frozen. The Esc button still works, so I circumwent the issue by saving and loading the game. But still it's not how it's supposed to be.

Maybe there's a way to fix this?

Other than that, I quite enjoy the old and also renewed Egypt adventure. Hopefully that pyramid complex will finish at one attmept! Is there a cheat shortcut how to fix it to move on in the campaign? I have only that much patience left to finish this one stone pile.

Best

PS: It's not the burial goods. The pyramid complex is not far enough along for those. There are visibly stones missing.

You need to dispatch the burial goods - go to the monument over seer - see what needs dispatching for the pharaoh to take to the afterlife.

THANK YOU! I look on these forums because I were "Stuck" too... Hadnt noticed I needed to dispatch anything to the afterlife :D

Many folks have been stuck there, you are not alone, the game never really explain burial provisions. Not here and not in the Og either

[Isabell]

It's not the goods. I did that in the last mission and I know how to provide those goods. My pyramid complex always misses stones, not burial goods. It's visibly not finished and still the works stops without an error or warning. It's a bug.

Do you have the rigth sort of stone. At some time you need different types of stones iirc.

And are they maybe too far away?

It's none of the above. But they are fair suggestions. So thanks for the reply!

It finally worked out. I did not change a thing, So it was a bug of some kind. But it's done and I`m free to move on.

How did you fix it? I am stuck here too... everything delivered, way more stone stockpiled than needed. All it says is "Everything is on track and the pyramid continues to rise higher and higher" but nobody is actually working on it.... any help would be appreciated I would hate to have to restart this mission :|

I stucked too. I dispatched the burial goods and I have enough stones in storage yards. My workeres just waiting and don't do nothing. I know I have to build capenters who help to build the next levels but they don't do nothing. I have enough wood. I really don't understand what they need ?

I think this is a bug because the traders couldn't delivered for me woods but after I had restarted the game this problem fixed.

But the carpenters still don't do nothing. This is very unpleased :(

[Kharne]

I had the same problem. Medium step pyramid, first two courses built, nothing happened anymore.
I read this thread and dispatched all the burial goods - no improvement
I restarted the game - no improvement
I deleted the pyramid and recreated and - oh wonder the pyramid was built in record time (I had collected 800 stone in the meantime...)

It seems that it works properly when you only built the monument after the burial goods have been dispatched

PS: @devs it looks like the achievment for building all possible monuments is bugged too ;P

[hamsa]

I confirm what Kharne said. When I removed the piramid and build it again I didn't have problem with the building.

I had the same problem with the stepped pyramid complex, it was done 3/4 of the way and I noticed stonemasons were going to build it but no stone was delivered, the stonemason must have despawned since I only saw stonemasons go to the pyramid every minute or so.
I deleted the pyramid and placed it again and this time it finished.
I only noticed the bug after I reloaded the game in the morning, also the first time I placed the pyramid complex was near the top of the map, not sure if that has anything to do with it not completing

[Isariel Drulien]

Yep the issue is that if the pyramid is near the top of the map, its tip would be visually out of the map border, and because there is no 3d in the game, masons are coded as walking on the floor in the projection of where they should be on the pyramid side from the camera perspective (thats why you dont see them sometimes because the graphics code put the pyramid at the very first plan in every situation, meaning that masons are actually behind the pyramid on the screen.
Getting back to the issue : unlike the original opus, this one has no camera rotation implemented so the map is strictly the size of what you see and not a bit bigger as it used to be. That means that masons actually walk out the loaded border of the map, making them being disloaded from the game being played. => no stone can be carried to the pyramid because there is no mason on site to receive it.
I suggest enabling cheats in the options then pressing Ctrl+Alt+C to open cheat dialogue and using "PHARAOHS TOMB" cheatcode to end the mission if you feel like you did every other objective that was asked and do not want to destroy half your city to build the pyramid in a more suitable place.

Pyramid complex built around 2/3's then stopped. Didn't do anything. Built another and had the destroy all the bricklayers and rebuild them to get it to start over. This time stopped around 1/6th done
