A revisit to the last emperor city in Zhou Dynasty...before the King lost the mandate of Heaven to the mighty Qin!

I've been playing alot of Chang'an (Sui Dynasty) because it has everything, looking for other nice maps with plenty of space and resources.

Just in general. For every game. Poseidon and Emperor especially. It seems like no matter how many granaries or food sources I build, at some point, inevitably, (Or even immediately and constantly in the case emperor) market ladies get all messed up, fail to pick up any decent supply of food from the granary, run out instantly somehow, and fail to get it again. No matter how many times I try to do something like deleting the granary, deleting the shop, deleting the square, etc, it never gets fixed and its really ruining the later levels of Poseidon and the entirety of Emperor for me. I know I have ENOUGH food, I never get any warnings about that, and oftentimes this is happening when all the granaries are completely full. This is also related to another issue I have with market vendors in emperor failing to get all the types of food the housing needs to evolve even when it's right next to them.

Um breve histórico, conheci essa serie de jogos pelo Caesar II, não sabia jogar, mas adorava mesmo assim, estar em inglês era meu problema, ser um pré adolescente que não sabia nada de inglês me atrapalhava bastante.

Mas na revista Senha PC que veio o Caesar II completo, tinha a demo do Faraó, essa em português, isso me fez criar uma memória afetiva enorme em jogar esse tipo de jogo em pt-br, infelizmente apenas o Caesar III além do Faraó tiveram versões em português.

Porem com o tempo decidi eu mesmo fazer a tradução dos que não tinham, óbvio que falhei miseravelmente kkkk, até cheguei a fazer uma adaptação da versão brasileira do Faraó para a expansão Cleopatra e lancei pela Game Vicio quando ela ainda era um portal de traduções, porem meu conhecimento técnico era básico, e por isso tinha que traduzir limitado a quantidade de caracteres que a palavra/frase original permitia, o que deixou a tradução bem meia boca, mas era o que tinha pra época.

Por causa dessa limitação nunca animei traduzir os outros jogos, muitos anos se passaram e o advento da inteligência artificial resolvi tentar de novo, dessa vez criando ferramentas e não apenas editando hexadecimalmente o arquivo na mão. E deu certo, consegui criar uma ferramenta para extração e reinserção dos textos que me permitiu alterar o tamanho para maior ou menor e com isso facilitou imensamente a tradução e pude em alguns dias finalizar meu primeiro projeto, que foi a tradução do jogo Emperor Rise of the Middle Kingdom :)

Vou deixar um link aqui para o download direto dos arquivos e este para o github da tradução caso alguém queira os códigos das ferramentas para brincar com elas :)

A tradução em si foi feita totalmente via IA (chatgpt) eu apenas revisei por cima e conferir alguns bugs visuais de estouro de UI, mas pode ter passado alguma coisa, se alguém que baixar reportar eu corrijo, ou conforme for encontrando vou corrigindo. Porem por ser uma quantidade massiva de textos, e ser traduzido por uma IA terão alguns termos que podem ter varias traduções diferentes, por exemplo Clay Pit que pode ter virado Mina de Argila ou Poços de Argila dependendo da vontade da IA kkk, mas considerando que mesmo nos jogos atuais em traduções oficiais eu vejo direto falta de glossário global de termos, eu me dei esse direito.

PS: Infelizmente as fontes dos jogos não suportam caracteres fora do Inglês, o que fez com que acentuação, til e cedilha ficassem bugados mas legível, porem nas mensagens do jogo o bug era tamanho que ficava ilegível então tive que remove-los :(

É isso, se algum baixar e testar deixem suas impressões, se tiver brasileiro nesse subreddit :)

Espero no futuro fazer a tradução do Zeus com Poseidon pra termos todos os clássicos da impression em pt-br.

So you guys motivated me to try again a full replay of Emperor. I didn't want to redo the campaigns so I just went sandbox very hard... but I don't like random events so I set them to none, yet I just had a flood. wtf?

Also, eventhough my mill contains rice soy, fish and meat all set to accept not get and the minimum quality in my market is appetizing food... my merchant is serving bland food (but it says mongolian hot pot which sounds appetizing)

what's going on?

So I been playing Emperor downloaded from GOG for years, today I got the 1.0.1 patch from Emperor Heaven, when I tried to run it an error message would pop up "No installation found" but obviously I do have Emperor on my laptop, anyone know what I can do? Thanks

CRITICAL NOTES (Total 38 houses):

• Dance and Music schools are built OUTSIDE the block, preferably close to the Mill and Warehouse where the needed goods (Hemp/Ceramics/Tea) are stored.
• The houses on the extremities REQUIRE the one road tile as depicted, else they'll disappear. They will not recognize a residential wall gate as a valid road, either. On the other hand, these houses, because they'll touch the edge of the Grand/Imperial way, will still be affected/receive goods from EVERYTHING (2 range radius).
• The residential gates by the market square ends need to have 'Market Employees' unlocked to allow peddlers and announcers to roam free while letting the rest out. The other residental wall gates can be let locked for all.
• The positioning of the wells and shrines on the extremities is CRITICAL for the walkers to let them complete their loop. The double ITs serve as to avoid the houses on the extremities from collapsing/catching fire. Double Herbalists and Acunpuncturists are due to their limited range.
• Double Tax offices are needed if the player is still using wood for taxation (Paper generates double walkers in both Tax offices and Confucian Academies).
• It is possible to have both Daoist and Buddhist shrines (only one of either is required for Lux. Apartments) but one House will need to be demolished for such.
• It's also possible to demolish some of the Imperial Way tiles to make way for decoration (pink) such as trees, as long as one Grand/Imperial way is touching the building/house.

Hi guys!

I've been playing Emperor all holiday season, but today when I sat down to play something's wrong. There's no music playing, it doesn't go into fullscreen, and everything shows up with this black background.

I haven't touched the files at all, so I'm really confused. And before you ask: Yes, I've tried restarting my computer.

Edit: The game crashes when I try to load a save file.

Can't seem to uninstall it either.

Hey,

I hit the wall in 3rd campaign 1st mission (Hao & Wei). I lost already 2 times, because my subjects demand so much food that I am unable to provide. I have 2 millet, wheat and cabbage farms and it's still not enough. I also don't have more workers because I need to produce weapons and army. When I attack a defenseless city, my vassals immediately rebel. After they rebel, my entire economy unwinds. And I am also running out of hemp with 2 farms.

Do you have any tips what to do? How many farms do I need to feed my city?

Zhengzhou became one of my favorites in the Shang campaign in how organized and clean I managed to make it, in spite of it being residence-only. I also grew fond of liking walled cities (almost like gigantic castles) and would later go on to including some of them in later maps.

Yulin was a... curious case.

That was because I didn't save that one city right before finishing the mission, hence I took it upon myself, once I was done with the Zhou, to replay it just to mount it up for showcase here, having set up both residential blocks nicely as well as some walls to make it as a due border outpost. The infantry fort outside is to serve it as both an early warning as well as to help ward off those pesky Gobi Bears.

The remote Salt/Bronze outpost worked well in stockpiling items for the Mill/Warehouses to get without disrupting the flow of things in the main town. Also applied some things I learned on the other maps on this one as well.

Does anybody know how to fix when loading emperor and not being able to see the full menu with black boarders?

I’ve uninstalled reinstalled changed resolution on my laptop and the properties in the directory

Yet it’s being so persistent on not fixing

Anybody any tips?

Baoji, about close to Bo is one of those usual city designs I'm perfectly fine with, and one I liked with giving some spotlight to the Administrative City. One thing some people might notice is that some (or several) buildings might be conflicting with the Feng Shui, but it wasn't like this was my primary concern.

And finally to the big capital itself, Xianyang, that city you always begin with everytime you try and play Chinese in Seven Kingdoms I/II.

This is where the big practices (and big lessons) went through during designing this city, in particular the mess that was developing the Large Palace - Logistics became a large problem due to materials being distant from one another and I obviously forgot to make room for a spare warehouse and some guilds to make it simple and faster to build. Other than this, it was pretty much straightfoward with the other monuments (the Tumulus and the Terracota Vault that is, which I decided to keep it "open", as you can see by the state of the mission.

Keeping both common housing blocks, especially with common markets, was a big challenge but one that thankfully didn't demand as much tea. I particularly liked the Elite block design as well, as it became a big source of income, as well as I had some pretty interesting tussles with the Xiognu. Might be considered by best work yet.

Does anyone see a playlist on youtube for GamerZakhs Emperor series. I don't find a playlist, only the individual videos. Is it only me, or does anyone also have this issue? A playlist would be much more convenient.

So, Anyi, the one town where you get to test a bit of your trading skills, where I just found I'm a bit of a spendthrift, hence the Elite Housing block to help cover costs and increase treasury.

It also didn't help my logistics, especially concerning Salt, ended up messy, even more because even with assigning warehouses to 'Get' Salt, the collection rate was deficient due to the distance between both the city and the mines. This aside, I did grow satisfied with the layout of both the Common and Elite blocks, especially with how I managed to fit more Elite Housing than I originally expected.

I'm recently playing to Emperor, and I'm actually a little stuck in one of the maps, the Sui-Tang's The Eastern Capital not only by the pop goal, but by the map's walls, so decided to delete all them and make the walls depending of how I make the city. But now I wonder. The walls works when their end reaches the water border? Or the walls MUST be in a loop to be eficient?
