Pelusium was an important city in the eastern extremes of Egypt's Nile Delta, 30 km to the southeast of the modern Port Said, becoming a Roman provincial capital and Metropolitan archbishopric, remaining a multiple Catholic titular see.
Pelusium lay between the seaboard and the marshes of the Nile delta, about two and a half miles from the sea. The port was choked by sand as early as the first century BC, and the coastline has now advanced far beyond its ancient limits, so that the city, even in the third century AD, was at least four miles from the Mediterranean.
The principal product of the neighbouring lands was flax, and the linum Pelusiacum (Pliny's Natural History xix. 1. s. 3) was both abundant and of a very fine quality. Pelusium was also known for being an early producer of beer, known as the Pelusian drink. Pelusium stood as a border-fortress, a place of great strength, on the frontier, protecting Egypt as regards to Syria and the sea. Thus, from its position, it was directly exposed to attack by any invaders of Egypt; it was often besieged, and several important battles were fought around its walls.

NOTICE: If you wish to see an alternative method for completing this mission, please click this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waCRLmSJR5c Taharqa has ordered that a military outpost be created at Migdol, on the eastern side of the Nile Delta, to prevent incursions of Assyrian troops. One thing you must learn about this mission: Weapons is the most valuable export in the game, along with Luxury Goods, so sell off as many weapons as you can. It will pay off in many of the missions that it can be sold in :) Migdol is a timed mission and all tasks must be completed within 7 years, so there is no time for making fancy layouts or nice looking cities. You need to build literally everything possible as quickly as possible, get a fort for Archers and Infantry fully staffed and get exports...

You say you want out
I know what you mean
I call you 'black bird'
I call you 'dark queen'
The isolation I put you into
Is your protection and safety too
In your eyes, in your wings
There is hunger for skies above high
And I know, and you know
That you could never fly
Have you ever seen the daylight?
Black bird fly
Have you ever seen the rainbow?
Black bird fly
Do you wanna see the moonlight?
Black bird fly
Do you wanna see the rainbow?
Black bird fly
You say I'm crazy
I'm doing strange things
You pine within walls
Although you've got wings
But I know, and you know
That the sunshine's too bright for your eyes
And I know, really know
That this world is too cruel
So think twice
One night, one day
You'll make me cry, you'll fly away
One day, one night
You'll leave me watching your last flight...
