Julius map but possibly Augustus too
Letter from Caesar:
I send you my best govenour build a city on the smallest island on the Mare Nostrum.Build summer villas for our retired patricians,show Rome greatness by building the Hippodrome and the Colloseum.Just make a beautiful city in 31 year.Plan your city well on the island before you start building on map,because you don't have much space here.I give you the best traid routes at sea and land,no enemys here.
Greetings Caesar!
Ceasar's letter and Peace Island are made up, nothing to do with historical events.
Welcome to my island and I wish you a nice puzzle time and lot of fun. Mariasbanana <3
Start options:
smal peaceful map for relax
Architect's salary
1800 dn saving
no loan
good traid routers
2nd wine

I apologize to everyone who has played the first version of the map.I have updated with the correct file, now Caesar has request. My mistake sorry. Mariasbanana
Hints:
It's a small puzzle map but fit Colloseum and Hippodrome. On the left small island you have sea traids and have room for two ship bridges, docks and two wearhouses. You can buy olivers and grapes its save place for you on the map. REMEBER you have 31 year survivel time!

No problems although a bit strange that Ceasar has no request at all.
Balance: 4
It is an easy scenario because earning money is no problem at all. It is a tiny map but still there is room enough to build all that is necessary without problems. I even had room to build the Colloseum at the end.

Nothing special just enjoyable to play.

Lovely map design that gives you more than one choice how and where you build the city.

Disclaimer - Review for map played with Augustus, i also came into it knowing its peacefull puzzle map, if i was rating it as a hardcore map the marks would be lower.

Everything works without any issues.

No requests at all and 30 starting favor means that you will gift caesar a LOT. Personally i would like at least some requests to add economic pressure and favor gain. Economically the map is simple you basically only need to export the 80 pottery over land realistically, maybe + the natives. Even with Augustus i didnt have any economic issues but i think its supposed to be lenient economically where the main quirk is space. Augusuts cities are larger but everything did fit with some space left even. +-5000pop achieved with majority small insulae and luxury palaces + hippodrome.

Different spots to use for trade, marble and farming. Otherwise geometric map design without many natural looks but the middle water at least incentevises some curved block design.

I think farmland is too plentifull, maybe i would also like no local olives and vines for extra challenge.

Some broken english but it tells you everything you need to know.
Additional Comments:
Good relaxing map, main pressure is favor and time limit but nothing crazy. Would play again on rainy day when i dont feel like subjecting myself to anything insane.
