In GotRE, you have the honour of being an up and coming town governor, your task is to provide your citizens with their every need, a thankless tasks this can be if your town planning is not up-to scratch, bunch of god damn arsonists! That's right; your underlings will pretty much burn down your whole town if you don't keep them supplied with the goods or services they require, ungrateful I thought. At least it does provide you with a decent barometer of your Roman city planning skills, if your settlements are constantly burning down then its clear that Mayor Quimby of Springfield would probably do a better job.
