Selima - can't get Ebony
So i've been playing this city for about 2 hours now. Have good population, lots of money, etc, but I can't import Ebony. The city i'm supposed to import from has been under siege. The game only let me try to help defend it once at the very start of the campaign when I had little army, so Pharoah's army lost and now i'm not getting a popup to try again. Meanwhile Pharoah keeps demanding more ebony from me, which I don't have because I can't import it, and my kingdom rating is tanking because of it. You need 55 to finish this scenario. Is my game bugged? Is there a way to free the city to import ebony from?

I have the same problem. Very frustrating!

I checked my bazaars on a hunch. One of them had a large negative value of ebony?

I set them all to don't buy then deleted and rebuilt the offending bazaar. I instantly started importing again. I hope this helps.

Definitely a bug.

Just checked my bazaars, not seeing negative ebony on any of them, but seeing if don't buy helps. Such a frustrating bug.

Restart the map and build your army earlier. That's how this game is, you should always start building your army as soon as you can

First thing is to set up some houses and food so you get workers
Then set up your easiest and most lucrative export
As soon as you have the money, plop down one fort of archers
Evolve houses > Increase exports > Build more forts (in non-military maps, just a couple is enough)

I have enough Ebony but then get a Failure. Have to load the Savegame and after that the Ebony is gone!!!

I had the same issue. You need to battle the distant fight in order to open the trade route with the only settlement exporting ebony.

This right here, after you send troops the ebony flows.

I had the battle.
I Won.
BUT I never saw ebony ever again... o.O

Also: I bought thousands at the start but my bazaars took it and you cant get it back after that - even with me changing it to "don't buy" it stays inside!
An option to empty like on whareouses WOULD BE USEFULL! o_O

I tried changing the ammount that I want to buy to 3k/6k/9k/12k.
Nothing. Ebony was never traded again.
I deleted the warehouse and rebuild multiple somewhere else exclusively for ebony.
Nothing.
Thankfully I had enough kingdom rating to win at the end. (dont ask me how)
I did try to SEND GIFTS though, maybe that helps?
Even with constant popup "pharaoh wants ebony"...

There is a limit to how much they sell per year I think

@Sesmu:
At these points I normally go 5x speed and wait it out.
It rly didnt change anything. :(


Actually one important point I just read about and it explains everything:
I made the god "RA" happy as much as I could and THAT gave me kingdom points!
I didnt know this because I never realised Ra was more then "the more money with trade guy". ^^
But you get more kingdom points the happier he is.
So THATS how I compensated the unhappy Pharaoh and won in the end!
