I give in to the overdoing it thing slightly by making a bigger city than necessary. It's not the end of the world but I have an unemployment problem and am lucky to have enough food. It is meant to be a capital after all, right? haha.
Oh monuments. The thing that's going to take so.much.time. is going to be monuments. that's arguably very realistic though I do turn blessings on when I remember to make things go faster for entertainment purposes because there's a nice calm and boring game to fall asleep to and there's pyramids. Mastabas aren't too bad though and this is only a small one for this map.
