**Build a palace and start collecting taxes. Try to have all major housing areas covered by tax collectors. If you can mine gold in the mission, start mining it before setting up pottery industry, as many mines as can be built. When mining gold, build the palace as close to the gold mines as possible, as the gold is always taken there. | **Build a palace and start collecting taxes.

**After all these tasks, you should still have at least a little of your initial money left in most missions. At this point, wait a year or two of game time and money from your exports should get your treasury back in shape. Then, you can start importing a few needed goods (ideally raw materials, finished goods are too expensive for most cities) and developing your city further, if that is still needed (it isn't in the first seven or so missions). See the entries on the various areas of city economy ([[Pharaoh|main page]], "Appendices" section) for details and tips on how to handle the individual tasks listed here. | **After all these tasks, you should still have at least a little of your initial money left in most missions.
