I keep running out of Money ...

[XYoukaiX1]

Could anyone tell me how to properly earn Money in this game oO?
I can't remember that I have been that bad before but yeah long long ago ....

I am at Mission 5 I think where I get my first traderoutes but the only thing they would buy from me is papyrus but most of the time I try this level I loose before I can strart my first trade route as I get into the -5000 ;(

You have to start with the trade route as soon as possible and making papyrus. You have to wait with some other stuff.

Yeah, concentrate on selling papyrus and secure that you make enough.

If it is Men Nefer, be sure to unlock Trade as soon as possible (aka getting fast enough the opportunity to build a school, iirc).

And, may be, if you do not play on easy, try this.

Trade! You need to trade ASAP.

I guess my main problem is that I build "to much" of some stuff especially food and beer production as in my opinion the overview is ridiculously bad ... not like it was much better in the original but I feel like the whole interface is much much more confusing the it was in the original.

Thanks guys, I will try to build less stuff and then concentrate on making papyrus to sell asap ... hope it will somehow work as I usually am at minus already when getting the promt that I am finally allowed to start a trade route.

I'm not a fan of the hit -5000 and poof, you're dead.

Original Pharaoh you just kept going further into debt until you gave up.
There have been times where the economy just needed to be given a chance and you can recover, not in this new version.

over supply Papyrus and sell sell sell - that is a tricky mission because your nearly out of money before trade actually opens. Best way to do it is get through the basics as quickly as possible. To get that trade to open up.

Thanks guys, I rushed the Papyrus production so that in the end I had like 10 Storages full of it XD
Managed to beat the mission like this ... still really crazy how incredibly important it is to sell stuff asap

Congratulations! Once you get to understand the game's mechanics is very simple. Most of the time is about figuring out what to focus on and slowly, but steadily, grow your city. In reality, this isn't just a city building but a resource management game.
