Author's Description:
Argos:
The colonies for Argos were built in the order that seemed logical at the time: Calydon then Miletos. The sanctuaries were built in the order Hermes, Athena, Zeus and Hades. Notice that spectacularly inefficient use is made of the sanctuaries to Athena and Hades in particular: I played this episode before I really worked out how to use sanctuaries efficiently!
The blocks of townhouses are significantly smaller than those I currently use, but can be seen as a precursor to my current design. The elite blocks in the North were originally planned to be all estates, but I got bored and finished the episode long before they all got enough horses...
Notice the careful use of condensed fleece and cheese industries: large populations of sheep and goats confined to miniscule areas of meadow land. this trick becomes something of a recurring theme in my later cities.
