The Palace

The palace is Edifis's attempt to please Cleopatra. When you first arrive in Egypt, the palace needs to be built. It requires 10 stages of construction to complete. With Update 43, earlier stages of the palace will complete faster while later stages of the palace will take longer to complete.

## Starting Out

   You will start with 1 Egyptian worker and he will need you to supply him with something in order for him to get to work. This might be one of the many Egyptian tools built in Edifis's workshop, water, linen, leather straps, fish, dates, or food. He will periodically stop working and request an item. The only way to get him to return to work is to satisfy his needs.

## Increasing Production

In time, you will want more workers to speed up construction of the palace. In order to do this, you must build the tents of the other four workers. They are just as needy as the first worker.

Crocodiles in Egypt will slow down production on the palace as the workers are scared of them. Kill all the crocodiles to get a boost in production.

Adding resources (wood, stone, and straw) to the palace will increase production. You must continue to restock the resources in order to gain the benefit.

You can monitor the production in on the palace while in Gaul by watching the worker % status above the settings button on the far bottom right of your map. If you have all the workers working, all the crocodiles killed, and all three resources filled, you should have 100%. If it shows less than 100%, go check to see what is wrong in Egypt.

One other way to increase production in Egypt is to use the potion Getafix offers. You can get up to 1000% production on the palace for 1 hour if you do this right.

When you finish the 10th stage, you will complete your palace. The palace is very important as once it is built, it will give you 1 RP every 1 minute 12 seconds with a max storage of 600, yielding a potential 1,200 RP every day for 2 weeks.

Once the palace is completed, you have those 2 weeks until it needs repair. The workers do not need anything during this time period. The worker % button will disappear while your palace is built.

The maximum RP you can collect while the palace is complete (from completion to the end of 14th day) is 18,000 RP.

## Repairing the Palace

You will know your palace needs to be repaired when you get a letter in the mail from Edifis asking for help and the worker % button will reappear over your other game buttons on the bottom right of your screen.

Repairing the palace is the same as building it except that it only falls down 1 stage instead of all 10. The workers will become needy again, the crocs will need to be removed, and you'll want to add resources to the palace again to increase your work %. Any wood, stone, or straw you added to the building while it was building/repairing the last time that wasn't consumed will arrive back in your added resources total (meaning you didn't lose them just because the palace completed construction before). It still generates a small amount of RP, though it only holds 60 instead of 600 and generates 1 every 12 minutes instead of 1 every 1 minute 12 seconds.

## Preparing for the Repairs

While your workers don't need anything, you should craft extra Egyptian tools to save for your next repair and possibly for trade.

It is a very good idea to brew Getafix's potion as soon as he is ready once your palace is finished so that it can be used immediately when the palace needs repaired. The 5 day cool down will start as soon as the potion is brewed so you could potentially use the potion as soon as your palace breaks and then start brewing another potion if you made the potion early enough. *If you do this correctly (and assuming you have all 5 workers)*, you should be able to use his potion twice over a 13 hour period and have most of your palace repair completed in that time as this will yield about 100,000 of the needed 120,000 production points so long as you keep all the workers working, the crocs cleared, and the storages filled. Again, *if* you use the potion with maximum efficiency, your repair could take less than a day to finish.
