FA Difficulty: easy Military: yes Winning conditions: Prosperity: 90 Fa is a typical training map. The aim is for you to learn and build luxury palaces. You have here all the room and necessary things to build them, and to make all sorts of interesting experiments. Enjoy yourself! Tricks The best place to build your city is across the river, near the North side (not far from the road to Rome from which the immigrants come). You have plenty of money, but first open trade routes and build your export industry. Also build some legions. The enemies will always come from South. You don't need any towers or walls. Just build your legions on the southern side. Organize your industries and farms around your city. There are no requests from Caesar. To reach the required high prosperity, build a luxury residential area. You can use gatehouses or no road connection to separate it from your industrial city. Check on the Web Caesar3 site "Which Way to Rome" on how to build efficiently a palaces area. With a few luxury palaces, your prosperity can reach 100% (even if you have poorer housing around...) - it cannot go higher. Remember: your prosperity rate cannot increase more than 7 or 10% per year (so be patient). You will have the opportunity to beautify your city with one arch of triumph (don't miss it). History: "Fa" is a place whose name comes from the Latin "Fanum" (temple, signal, beacon). It is located in South-West of France, in Aquitania, between Bordeaux (Burdigala) and the Ocean, 10 km South of Royan (Novioregum). There is nothing but fields and an old windmill, whose circular base is the one of a roman temple, visible from the estuary. This site was discovered by aerial archeology in 1975; many vestiges of "horea" - warehouses (and temple, baths, theatre, port) were taken in photographs (visible only from sky), testimony of a large roman city. Unfortunately, there is no historical mention or documentation about it. Just the name of the old windmill which is Fa. Presently this site is under excavations. |
