That's The Sound Of The Polis | Builders Of Greece (Classic Greek City Builder - Prologue)
302Builders of Greece takes us back in time to ancient Greece where we have to, well, build it! More specifically we begin building a city (a Polis) but of course we have to start small.
We begin by placing down our city centre and then we build all the other standard things that we know and love in city builders, like homes, roads and foresters.
Before too long we're crafting lovely pottery and making our own delicious wine but we do encounter some transportation problems with our forester which causes us some bother.
Then we have to prepare for an attack by some troublemakers, so we ready our elite military... topless men armed with pointy sticks! Go and defend the nation topless men armed with pointy sticks!
Also I really think we should have gone with the hotel idea but the advisor chappy was having none of it.
NOTE: This is the prologue version of the game.

Builders of Greece is a city management game which lets you display your strategic and economic mastery. If you've made it all the way here, then the grace of gods is with us. Have your builders and craftsmen raise magnificent structures and monuments in your name. As for yourself, look closely into all the nuances of planning, politics, and economics. Make your city expand beyond the horizons and let the word of its splendour reach the furthest corners of this land. Builders of Greece grants you the opportunity to witness the greatness of Hellenic metropolises before the time of Roman conquests.
Knowledge of the fact differs from knowledge of the reason for the fact.
– Aristotle
Plan out your city with great precision by creating efficient infrastructure between buildings and establishing unabated production chains. Select your advisors wisely to create the cradle of liberty and sciences or unite Greece by force – as you prefer. Compare your accomplishments with historic figures among Greek constructors in an epic campaign or achieve the highest rank in competitive mode.
He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have.
– Socrates
Even the most well-designed city is never fully self-sufficient – maintain good relations with your neighbours to reap the lucrative benefits of trade. Supply your city with resources crucial to its proper functioning as it expands ever further. Eventually, the prestige of your urban wonder may attract esteemed philosophers to its doorstep. This task may prove to be quite a challenge but offer wealth and enlightenment as rewards.
It is best to rise from life as from a banquet, neither thirsty nor drunken.
– Aristotle
A city is not only brick and marble but foremost its citizens, and their needs have to be met – from the most basic ones, such as food and security, to sophisticated demands of luxury goods and access to bathhouses or the announcement of the Dionysia. Fulfilling one need may risk disrupting another. For example, locating your buildings so that they don't conflict with one another may take careful planning but will certainly pay off in the end. Should your city attain the required splendour, it may strive for constructing a major temple dedicated to the deities of the Hellenic pantheon.
One should attend to one's enemies, for they are the first persons to detect one's errors.
– Antisthenes of Athens
The fame you attain as the designer of cities will not be to everyone's liking. At some point you will need to decide whether peace is to be maintained with coin, blood or intrigue weaved to set your rivals against each other. No, differently than the favour of the gods, having a reliable ally may prove indispensable, as your opponents bide their time for your next mistake.
