Very cute (random comment)
It's always fun to see the Greeks build the city of Apolyton!
I wonder if they were randomly picking Greek cities...or if they just threw that one in for fun!

It was most likely intentional as Apolyton isn't a geographic location in Greece, but instead it's the Greek word for "mighty."

Yes, it was intentional. At least all our whining served some purpose...

Hey, they could set up the game so that some civ actually could build the CFC city, but this one would only be built on tundra, would never grow past 2 pop and both citizens would be unhappy, because, as they would say, "100% This is a horrible place to live!"
