Worker Percentages

In Zeus, as was the case in Pharaoh, only a certain number of people in your city actually do any work. Forum regular RSC carried out a few tests, and came up with the following table showing the percentage of the population who actually work under different circumstances (difficulty level and wage rate):

Wage Rate
None Very Low Low Normal High Very High
Beginner
42
46
49
52
55
57
Mortal
37
41
44
47
50
52
Hero
32
36

Titan

Olympian
27

42

His further comments were:

"As you can see, Mortal is 5% less than Beginner, Hero is 5% less than Mortal, Titan is 3% less than Hero, and Olympian is 2% less than Titan.

I did two tests - 25 Huts (or 200 people) and 50 Townhouses (3000 people). All the worker percents came out to exactly the same "nice" numbers, so I didn't have to round."
