Hor-Aha has managed to unite Lower and Upper Egypt and has proclaimed himself as Pharaoh of the lands. He requests that we build a city at Men-nefer, as the first true capital of Egypt (Fun fact: Cairo is located in exactly the same location as Men-nefer, indicating it probably changed its name)

This mission introduces you to trade, education and monument building, the later being extremely important in nearly all of the missions. This time, you have to build the city with the knowledge you have received so far. To proceed, you simply need to evolve a house to Spacious Homestead. By now, you should know what the city needs to survive: food, water, pottery, beer and access to health facilities. After a house has evolved successfully, build some Reed Gatherers and Papyrus Makers, along with a Storage Yard for each, as well as a Scribal School.

After a Storage Yard has some papyrus, open trade routes to Nekhen (Hierakonpolis) and Perwadjyt (Buto), the former to export the papyrus (which you will find as a very lucrative export for now) and the latter to import bricks to build a mastaba. Around this time, you will be introduced to Requests, which will be recurring in every single mission.

Once you've got the bricks imported, build the mastaba, then fufill all the other mission goals to complete Memphis.
