I very loosely based my map on the real city of Atlanta (Georgia, USA) and its history. The adventure is mainly about growing fruits and sell them and try to not trigger everyone by freeing slaves.
I put a lot of effort into this. Didn't have time to upload it when it was done so it had to be put off until now. Do drop me a few comments after you've played it ^^ |

On colony map there is no way to upgrade elite houses to estate since there is no chariot wendor nor charioter factory so no way to finish map |

Thanks for the fun! I played this at Hero difficulty, the adventure overall felt smooth and fairly balanced. Both Parent and Colony maps are aesthetically pleasing as well.
On the parent map, the marshes, woodland and the meadow along the stretch makes a nice impression of fertile floodplains. It is spacious, especially nice for some straight-line housing rows.
Colony map is nice and tight. The copper ore cliffs, narrow zigzag paths, and the entry with a single bridge-over-lake are some cool sights, so are the wolves.
Though, like the comment above, its rather unfortunate the Colony is not able to complete. Since the set file is provided, a probable quickfix is to enable Wood as a colony resource. But I decided against a replay, and proceed with Ambrosia here.
Also, it's very nice that the choice of sanctuaries on the early Parent episodes will play a big part in shaping the subsequent episodes, and the overall difficulty of this adventure.
---SPOILER---
Personally, I went for Hera (Oranges, Divine Protection), Artemis (Story and Raids), Hephaestus (Glorious Bronze) and Hermes (Tasty Speed). While Hermes, and probably Artemis, are not exactly priority here, I feel that Apollo is an easy way and will miss the fun at Orangetree Street. Hades, the mints and his pup are just luxury (Thank Zeus there's no Mr.I-Cannot-be-Stopped). Of course, it's really up to the player to decide who to go for, which also adds to the replay value of this adventure.
---END SPOILER---
And the optional Pantheon at the end and the hidden Orichalc is a nice touch, giving extra incentive to truly complete this adventure in style.
Pretty much a summary of my playthrough, and it's always nice to see new contents here - they keep the game alive. For the lurkers around, like me, are really grateful for some nostalgic funs in Zeus.
Thanks again![Edited on 07/12/19 @ 04:45 AM]

Hi Dulano, thanks for the extensive review. I had a lot of fun making it too. I must admit that I didn't test thoroughly that colony episode though. Anyway to update the submitted file? |

The design of the parent city map is beautiful.
It's nice to see a fellow designer devote a lot of their time in making a truly rewarding map like this. You should put an image of this as part of the files here, because it's a shame for it not to be displayed. :) |
