Does wrestling count as philosophy or drama?

I'm afraid we cannot have wrestling because that is the purvey of the gymnasium, which we cannot build.

Such shocking discrimination. Apparently we're not supposed to have any manly men, only effeminate and overly emotional ones.

I'd say Philosophers. At least they don't run around like some chicken cosplayers. And their buildings take away less space.

Philosophers. So they can teach/do the wonders of gay butt sex.

Pfft, philosophy isn't gay.  Just because it's an intensely pleasurable and exciting activity that can be performed between two or more members of the same sex and people can lose their heads and start shouting about the gods... hm...  The GGG endorses philosophy!

Sorry guys, this update would have been up a lot sooner, but my internet crapped out on me while I was in the middle of uploading the images.




It's the beginning of the new year and our deliverymen are delivering the first load of cheese to the city granary. Yeah, it takes a while.


We're gonna request some food from Thermopylai. In this case, fish. This drops their leader's mood from Congenial to Sympathetic.


The minotaur seems content to just laze around near the meadow, occasionally killing a stray goat.


Meanwhile, the food vendor from the agora is going to pick up the first load of cheese. Best to leave food to the women, we all know it's the only thing they're good for. Well, that and popping out babies, but we're not using them for that.


She has servants with her, too. Incidentally there are only four people registered as "employed" at the agora. Got to investigate that matter more closely...


But first things first: GLORIOUS CHEESE! No more wild berries and twigs for us!

Our huts now upgrade to shacks. Shacks can house 16 people, as opposed to the hut's 8. No, I don't know how they all fit in there either. Now that they're not quite as concerned with immediate survival, the people are clamoring for entertainment. They also want water, but we're already providing that.


...I asked for 12 baskets, you cheapskate. Whatever. I've ordered the fish to be stockpiled, so the vendors won't buy it.


...And now they want it back. You know what? Fine. You can have your damn fish back.
(I actually thought we'd send cheese, since all food is lumped under the same label, but we sent fish even though it was being stockpiled)


Anyway, some more immigrants have migrated into our shacks, so we have a bunch of unemployed people hanging about. More goatherds = More goats = More cheese.


That fish must be starting to rot. I mean, we requested it back in February and it's July now.


So we'll try requesting some more fish. I hope it'll be fresh.


That's a lot of migrants :o


We need to employ the buggers, so let's build the entertainment industry they're clamoring for. A theater and a podium at this end of the road...


And a college and a drama school here. Now, I'm going to need even more jobs to employ everybody, so if we bui-

WHAT THE <sexual act involving three men, a goat and a wheel of cheese>?! Are you serious? We're a tiny village of goatherds and attendant staff and they want to put themselves under our rule? ...Why?

Oh yeah.

Theseus.

I didn't think he'd actually come through, much less so quickly. I have to say, it's good to have friends.


They'll even pay us tribute! Admittedly, it's a piddling sum, but it's tribute all the same!


Our wise men are transforming shacks into hovels. If we had a palace we could now recruit rabble to defend the city, but we can't build a palace so it's a moot point.


This, of course, means MOAR INMIGRAINES!



Meanwhile, Thermopylai sends eight baskets of fish. We have nine in total now. Also, you can see how I accidentally demolished the drama school when trying to remove a roadblock.


You can't see it well there, but I built a trading post for Thermopylaic merchants and set it to import fleece.


Furthermore, in order to reduce unemployment I decrease wages, meaning less people will look for jobs instead of subsisting on welfare, and build more dairies, which creates more job openings.

Wait, we're in ancient Greece. Do we even have government welfare?


Here you see a merchant from Thermopylai unloading fleece. He winds up unloading a total of eight units, meaning we need another four for the colony.

December is uneventful, but at the turn of the new year...


FUCK. YEAH.


Not only are they giving us fish in tribute, it's also a lot easier to request stuff from them now that they're our vassals. In any case, it's now the year 798 BC and I shall continue chronicling this story later.

Anybody who would do something  like that is clearly somebody not to be messed with.

Either that or they really like our goats.
