If there's one thing that can ruin a beautiful and efficient city, it's the people who insist on living in it. Build them shelter (well, command them to build themselves shelter), and they'll want a convenient marketplace to buy food. Make food available to them and they'll start complaining that they want more than one type of food. Let their neighborhood flood and next thing you know they'll be asking for ways to respectfully dispose of the bloated corpses of the dead. There's just no way to please them!
Strap in, governors, because demanding citizens are just a small challenge compared with the crowd of needy gods you need to keep happy. In city builder Nova Roma, the Roman Empire has fallen and you and a handful of villagers slink away to start a new civilization in a pristine land. The gods are coming with you.
