I have been teaching my son (age 13) to play Pharaoh. He was having a lot of trouble with his buildings burning down or collapsing, and finding workers for his buildings. He just didn’t understand about “walkers” and how to use roadblocks. To help teach him these things, and the “finer points” of city layout, I used the Glyphgenerator to lay out an entire city. The city is actually made up of “Plan-A” and “Plan-B” which I taped together.
To aid myself in making the city, I created two Word 2000 documents. GlyphKey.doc lists the keystroke, building name and size of all supported buildings on a single sheet, all organized by categories. GlyphLegend.doc includes all of the information in the GlyphKey plus the actual Glyph and “comments”. The GlyphLegend.doc is seven pages long. I made the Legend because the one in Pharaoh Heaven just isn't "printer frendly". Anyone interested in a copy of these documents can post their request here (I will need your email address) or email me at:
VitruviusAIA@aol.comI can also send you the Glyph City save files, however you will need he Gylphgenerator to view them.
I am editing this post to correct a serious omission on my part. It wasn’t until I saw James Blond’s post here that realized my mistake. Because I posted an offer for the Key and Legend that I made for the Glyph Generator, some of the newer members might think that I had something to do with its development. This is absolutely not the case. The Glyph Generator was developed by James and is available for download at his site. My apologies to James if there were any misunderstandings. (No one asked me to add this information, I just felt really bad when I realized what I had done.) Oh no, I did it again. I am sooooooooooo sorry Jayhawk. I just wanted a printable copy of the legend, none was available that I new of, so I made me one (using your glyphs it seems). I thought that other forum members might like a printable copy also. I was just trying to be helpful. (Both documents now have "credits" to Jayhawk and James Blond.)[This message has been edited by VitruviusAIA (edited 08-21-2000).]
