Description:
Rostja, with completion in 19 years. No personal funds or debt were used, but the "bailout" gift was taken. I tried to make a good city, with all houses residences, a library, and decent defense (3 infantry and 3 archer forts). If the last grave good is not dispatched, the city is stable for a long time, without intervention except to satisfy requests and prevent worker shortages (by turning off the plain stone industry in about 5 years and deleting work camps or guilds later). If the last grave good is dispatched, the result is:
Culture: 35
Prosperity: 64
Kingdom: 89
Funds: 58340
Population: 4492
Months: 228
Difficulty: Hard
Score: 28574
Only 12 limestone were bought from Iunet in 2506 (although 24 is possible, I didn't feel like replaying extensively). Several things were micromanaged, including river trade to purchase 43 limestone each year from On and (after 2506) Iunet. The only deletions were roads, gardens, statues, and rubble (the 2nd invasion was on the south corner of the temple complex).
