Author's Description:

The eruption at Santorin island occured in 1450 BC and is said to have been of magnitudes greater than that at Krakatoa in 1883 that could be heard a thousand miles away.

Some scholars attribute the legend of the sinking of Atlantis to this event.

I have attempted to make the geography as close to reality as the editor allows and the characteristics of the island after the disaster reflect the present day landscape of Santorin.

Ok- me finished! I enjoyed this adventure overall. Its got a great map and story. I think you did a very great job with it unfolding. I can tell you've spent alot of time planning this adventure. Its good, it really is. So please don't take my opion the wrong way, when i mention a couple of small things, that i would have changed.
I didn't like having to wait around for 5 yrs just for a city to appear, so i could import marble b4 i could even start on two of my goals. Then he only sold 12 a year, so it took me 14 more years to finish that one episode. All the other episodes took around 10 yrs.
You have the gods (i think) sit on re-ocurring, cause every two years i got invaded, and their is nothing to do except to rebuild. I would like to mention that when a god invades, they do damage, and hang around for 8-10 months, sometimes even longer, b4 leaving. So i think this was just a tad to much.
I would also have given lesser goals for the last episode. By this time, I had endured and managed to survive "everything" you had to throw at me. So when i did make it to the last episode, it would have been nicer to see the goals much reduced..and maybe even have an option for gardens?- I think by this time, my city should have earned them. :)
This is the longest, hardest adventure that i have ever played. You almost made a "No win" adventure. At One point, i thought it bested me. But i was determined to see the outcome. This is one adventure that i don't think begin-ers should try. I don't mean to sound like i am complaining on the game. I'm not. You really tested me on this one-Thankz :)

Glad you liked it Granny, your criticisms are noted.

If you like this one try Bradius' Tenochtitlan its a killer at Olympian.

Boy! I would like to say that i really enjoyed your adventure. But thats not true cause i haven't finished it yet.. I managed to make it to the beginning of the 8th episode. I don't wanna give anything away, but right now this Granny needs "REST".

I feel sorry for the players who use the cheats on your game! They'll never know what they missed. So far i would rate from 1 out of 10, with 1 being very poor and 10 being very great. I give it an 11... but now i still not finished. :)

Melini,
How did you get the game to work. I downloaded it and it showed up in the Zeus game. I made a new folder and everything.

I think you forgot to put a set.file to your game. I downloaded it and it showed up in the Zeus game and not the Poseidon game.

Sorry about that I didn't realise the .set file was required for a Poseidon adventure, update will asap.

I enjoyed your adventure except for the fact that I could not "beautify" it they way I would have liked. Part of the pleasure for me is to make a city as beatiful as I can.
