From a fellow adventure creator... great job.
You as I can see enjoy the creation of detail as well as a great yet complex story. I enjoyed playing your adventure very much and was so pleased to see others that take the time needed to think out well planned and layed out adventures.

Bravo

Devilishly hard! Can't count the number of times I had to restart. Tips: Once you get the opportunity to build something (like a stadium or sanctuary), build it! You won't get a second chance. I decided to let Apollo handle the monsters (espisode 2 or 3?) and never built Athena's sancutary to entice the hero. By the time I finished Zeus (espisode 4?), I realized I needed the olives and Athena's sanctuary was no longer available. So I had to restart from when the sanctuary was available and live through the intermidable building of Zeus all over again (a stingy 12 marble per year - ouch!). Similarly, without elite housing, I really didn't need the stadium (too many workers). But once elite housing was required, the stadium was no longer available to be built. Oh so frustrating! And you made me rearrange my elite housing block to accommodate two common agoras rather than a grand agora. I didn't know you could put wine, arms and horses on common agoras (with grand agoras disabled), but I rather like doing it that way! So I learned something new. All in all, a TERRIFIC sense of accomplishment once you finish this adventure!

Good job, Stringbags!
