I am haunted by the of things that caught fire and as a 8-9 year old I didn’t understand why. I don’t think I generally made it far enough that the plebs were in need because the whole city had burned.

Oh yes the dreaded “(There is) Fire in the city!”

I really liked Caesar III but I never seemed to be able to get service reach a reasonable amount of real-estate, presumably due to the left turn mentioned in another branch. So I ended up plopping way more temples and engineers/prefects than strictly required.

Yeah 10 yr old me burnt a dozen or so cities before deciding the point of the game is humiliating me by burning my granaries/gymnasiums etc and moved on to Czar and ultimately Age of Empires 2.

> The old 'Plebs are needed' from Caesar II still burnt into my brain.

That would drive me nuts. Plebs is not a plural noun.

Came here to say “need more plebs” lol!
