TURN FOUR
TURNTURNTURNThe Polis is graced by a new style of theatrical production. Portraying the struggle of the People to rectify the faults of society, featuring choreographed battle scenes, the plays are popular with a wide swathe of society. Not, however, with the priesthood- since the plays do not pay proper homage to the gods, and in fact belittle them at times!Meanwhile, a small fleet of brave adventurers sets sail for distant lands. What dangers will they encounter? What treasures will they find? What sort of government will they come back to? Who knows!

!!REVOLUTION!!Priest Revolution any% achieves best possible WR. Revolution speedrunning community now pivots to optimising SaveTheAnimals%.
I, uh, think Class Moods should probably be reset a bit higher. Cos a one-turn Revolution is not Working As Intended. But it is what it is.It's a Revolution. Again. If you are a Champion, grab your 1000d salary and your 3.3 Points, and pray to the gods that the new government has mercy on your souls.
Anyone with positive Priest Popularity can submit suggestions. Remember to mention how much Popularity you have when doing so. Suggestions can be made in thread or by PM.
