Is the August mod available to use if I've bought the game on GOG?
I was surprised to find out that Athena whops Apollo, since I took him for a "major-ish" god in this game. I can't seem to find any answer to the question which gods will win/lose to which gods. Does anyone happen to know this?
I know Aphrodite beats the minor male gods, that Zeus beats all other gods except Hera, and that Hera beats Zeus.
Edit: Added a screenshot of the Zeus' Stronghold statue pecking order.
I just downloaded the newest Augustus version and played around with the highways. It helps a lot to move materials for getting warehouses/granaries which is awesome.
However, it seems to be encouraging every market lady In my city to go to my Villas and take their specialty food.
Is there a way to get the benefit of the highway without market ladies going way out of their way for a 2nd type of food?
I'm creating a military adventure, and I know the sprite limit is ~2000, so I figured I could have at least 1k (4 x 250) soldiers attacking without city walkers disappearing, only I'm pretty sure I'm not getting 1k enemy soldiers. Does anyone know the actual limit?
After new construction materials have been introduced, have they been implemented in all maps? I just started some construction kit maps and while there are sand, bricks, stone and concrete I can’t find gold. I also try to make a new map and there are no indication in the editor whether it is available. Other cities don’t sell it either. Meanwhile City Mint is available. Will I not be able to build the Pantheon?
If I'm supposed to sell 25 weapons, would that be monthly or yearly?
I have the patch installed, playing on windows 10, and Dionysus keeps attacking my city and breaking down my beautiful walls and Demeter, Hera and Hermes rarely defend me and let him just do his thing. I'd say 1 in 4 times have they helped. Is this just a bug in the game?
for some reason, I can't screenshot in-game so there is a little description of my situation.
I am currently playing as a Procurator in a peaceful area. the terrain here is awful, and I had difficulty with food supplies.
now I have a problem - I need to get the max. prosperity rating and I need more entertainment and education facilities, the most lvl I could get was 46. however, my city is about 500 employees short, and this number won't decrease. I don't have a lot of space left on the map, so the only way to attract more citizens is to create better infrastructure, which requires more employees than I have.
so it's like a cycle: need more people - build a new block - try to increase the quality of housing - need more people.
also I have about 6000 people in my city and omg 120r dn. i have no idea where to put this number lmao
I can't do it anymore aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
