Nice adventure, Psyche :o)

But one problem, though; all the goods that is set aside for founding the different colonies, doesn't show up in the colonies. Why is that?

Adorina, imagine that the goods are for the yourney to the colony.


P.S. Expect another adventure soon. I already have a great idea.

It was real fun and had no problems getting Odysseus to show which does not need full Elite Housing to call only the beginning Elite Housing to call him in other words: No Wine, armor, horses just plain old Elite Housing from the beginning. The tidal waves I thought also were a bit much (even though it was explained in the end) I didn't like that part but everything else was good. Two thumbs way up.

Well laurels, when I tested it, I could summon Odysseus.

Those 8 elite houses you have to have don't need armor. They just need a good appealling neighbourhood (boulevards on the roads are already enough) and good culture acces (stadium, gym, theater, philosophy). If this doesn't work for you, there must be something with your version of Zeus (or set the difficulty level to beginner).
That bronze is for the sculptures. The sculptures can be used for the sanctuaries or for export (a lot of gain then).


Why that tidal wave sweeps the earth every year, will be explained in the final episode. You don't need that much space in the beginning.


Thanks for the compliment on the story. It took me a while to write it, but if everybody thinks of it like you do, it was worth the time.

The player of this adventure can in the colony of Amphipolis summon Odysseus quite easily. I do not know what the fuss is about—just set boulevards and readily acquire what Odysseus needs. No armor necessary.

This is a delightful adventure—something not to be missed. The extended narrative for each episode is detailed and fits the name of the adventure—No Virgin! This is a tale of love and romance—full of bawdy situations and pointed humor throughout. I just thought it much fun and unique—please do an encore soon!

First, let me tell you that your story was excellent! I won't reveal anything, to potential players, so let me just say......WHEW! An excellent first adventure, hope to see more from you.

I really hate posting that an adventure has an error in it, but I hate it even more when I have put in several hours of gameplay and it isn't playable. The story is excellent, the parent city map is interesting (though the recurring every 5 months tidal waves that wipe out half the map are a tad much) and all would be well except that in the first suggested colony (I forget the name but it was the one suggested in the story leading out of parent city) one of the requirements to victory in that colony is to slay Cyclops. That requires the hero Odysseus, whose requirements to show up are 8 elite houses among other things.
There is no armour available for trade (no, not even raiding) and no armoury buildings allowed to make it yourself. Plenty of bronze, no armoury. I have played it for quite a while now, and although I do have 8 elite houses with no armour, they are not counted as such until they have arms (rightly so).
I've tried killing cyclops with rabble, but no can do. I tried sicking Theseus after him (he's there for a quest) but he runs like a chicken.
It's been about 5 years now with cyclops tearing through my city and I figure you have no gifts set for armoury, and no world map changes. If so, I'm not sticking around another 10 game-years to wait and see.
If you get this fixed, let us know. It would be a fantastic adventure I'm sure, with a great myth to go with it.
