One little error

Have played the game thru several times and always have to chuckle at the end. The player spends all the days building Rome, and then the game has you climb Olympus to finish. The designers do realize that the mount is a Greek destination??

Still love this game

I have played this in the past and very happy to play it again on my iPad. Fun, challenging and a nostalgic nod to the past. Great game!
