I'm not really sure what I'm meant to be doing, there's no clear aim. I can't really see anything that I can do that has much impact on the outcome either, so I can't really play for a high score in, say, oratory or something.

I like how the quote at the beginning relates the concept to the theme, but it did make me expect it to come back at the end (being judged by the gods or something maybe).

I think there's probably something I'm missing here, maybe it needs more explanation?

Neat little management game. Took a while to get going for me, since it was not clear what the goal was (or is, still, really, but I just decided to run for offices). Seems you get really high stats for winning cases at court, more so than running for offices, which seems a bit odd? When my oratory was high enough, I just kept winning court cases and grew insanely in a short span of time, and then I could be in office almost every year after that. Would like some variety or some events or throughline to what you were doing (and a reason to do anything other than court cases) but otherwise a neat little thing.

I don't know if this result is googd or bad (or even if there are good and bad results). Interesting concept tho. firefox_2017-12-14_15-53-44.png
