Introduction

Welcome to this Nebuchadnezzar tutorial, where we will cover how to make money, set up profitable trade routes, import goods for advanced production, and level up housing from Peasants to Aristocrats. We will also go over services like administration and religion, as well as beautification strategies to increase home appeal.

Step 1: Setting Up Trade for Profit

• Unlock new trade routes by increasing prestige through city expansion.
• Example: The City of Magan
  • Exports: Copper (essential for production)
  • Imports: Beer (used for Peasant upgrades)
• Set warehouse capacities for optimal selling and storage.
• Pause unnecessary production (e.g., brick-making) to free up workforce.
• Use surplus goods (ceramics, dates) for export to generate income.

Step 2: Workforce and Production Adjustments

• Bread supply issues?
  • Redistribute farm plots and build additional bakeries.
• Food for Villas:
  • Increase fishery output for sustainability.
  • Check trade routes for surplus food storage.
• Expansion Tip:
  • Add Villas with nearby decorative gardens to boost Prestige.
  • Monitor distribution paths for even resource coverage.

Step 3: Importing Copper & Jewelry Production

• Warehouse Setup:
  • One warehouse exclusively stores imported copper.
  • Copper is used for jewelry workshops.
• Caravan Routes:
  • Set up dedicated caravanners to transport jewelry to marketplaces.
• Adjusting Workforce:
  • Disable unnecessary clay pits to free workers for jewelry production.
  • Export ceramics instead of beer to save on resources.

Step 4: Leveling Up Villas with Religion and Trade

• Place Standard Markets near jewelry warehouses.
• Check overlays for religion coverage.
• Villas require Appeal 9+ to reach level two.
• Monitor Copper imports to maintain a stable jewelry supply.

Step 5: Leveling Up Peasants to Max Level

• Build an Administration Office and Tablet Workshop.
• Level up homes gradually to ensure stable resource supply.
• Use decorated roads to improve Appeal.
• Peasants need Beer + Administration to upgrade.

Step 6: Preparing for Aristocrats

• Key Resources Needed:
  • Furniture (wood-based)
  • Meat (butchered livestock)
• Import Wood:
  • Trade with Nineveh by gifting them Paper from Heliopolis.
  • Build Carpenter Workshops to process wood into furniture.
• Meat Production Chain:
  • Livestock farm → Meat warehouse → Butcher → Marketplace
  • Ensure fertile land for grazing.
• Luxury Market Placement:
  • Near Furniture and Meat Warehouses for efficient distribution.

---

Step 7: Achieving Aristocrat Housing

• Luxury Market Distributors must be staffed with Townsfolk.
• Enhance Appeal to 16+ by adding gardens, fountains, and decorative roads.
• Monitor Distribution:
  • Ensure Furniture and Meat reach all homes.
  • Adjust Warehouse & Caravan routes accordingly.
• Final Step: Once Appeal and Goods are met, Aristocrats will move in!
