Bubastis

Suggestions, please. I have 123 prestige and a huge establishment, 4000 plus food annually, two mini-pyramids, barges, boats, yachts, two grand sphinxes and a little one, big and little statues, steles, mini-steles, a medium pyramid under zealous construction with no trouble from the crews. I own a city guard, plus every possible place on the map is contacted and trading with me, and I supported the Bast site ages ago. The trouble? I am still awaiting some announcement either that I have completed the scenario or that I need to do something, and this place is getting large enough to slow my computer considerably. Do I need to butter up the nobles? Build a Bast site locally, to be sure it's working? I seem to be stalled out here.

Alexander: Have you opened Abu on the world map? Have you opened trade with at least four places? (I'm just reading the scenario goals)

Have a look at this thread (http://www.tiltedmill.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4498) where other people are having the same trouble.

success! Apparently I gave up in frustration and saved down about 3 ticks before Abu appeared...scenario won, once I did get back at it, and your suggestions encouraged me to keep at it. I had envisioned maybe some Abu movie running when one achieved magic numbers. The notion that a site would open up was about fifth on my list of suppositions, not quite evident by the mission goals...just part of the learning curve in this game. And of course when I play the scenario in future I'll be a lot more stingy with my craftsmen's supplies.
