Story
"You think you are a city builder. We will see!
I give you this challenge: build me a playground for the rich of Rome, and build it quickly. Build me the most luxurious houses, served by an abundance of cultural buildings.
This province I have given you has a great reputation for producing
the best oil in the whole of the Roman Empire and I require some from
you for my table. This is a peaceful land full of olive trees and a sea
swimming with fish. And as a special favor to you, I will subsidize some
of your imports so they will be very cheap to you. However, this will
have an effect on some of your exports...
'Don't concern yourself too much with the economics of this. Let me take
care of that. Although you may feel you are giving them away there will
always be a demand for your amphorae of oil. Give oil production your
utmost attention, second only to building the highest quality housing.
Your people will be happy to live in such luxury, and will not be averse
to paying for the privilege.
Do all I desire and you will do well here in the Mediterranean!"

Designer's Notes
There is no minimum requirement for population, peace or prosperity.
Grand Villas need not be fully occupied to count towards the winning criteria.
The main differences between the two difficulty levels are the Easy map has higher starting funds and rescue loan. The requests are also less demanding on Easy difficulty.
This scenario has a Peace rating requirement of 100. This cannot be achieved in the time possible, and is designed to block victory prior to AD 9. You should ignore this requirement and concentrate on improving your winning criteria in the ten years allowed.
Remember to save your game every December. These saved games should not be submitted with your entry, but must be made available should we request them during judging.
Mediterranean was created by Caesar Clifford, and beta tested by Stringbags and JuliaSet. The contest will be supported by Philon, while Caesar Clifford is away.
This contest will close at 11 PM EST (US), on Thursday, February 27th. Please note the date!!!!
