Offenses against realism
------------------------

    o   The training skills (such as Train peasant to worker) specify
        the time needed to train one man; time to train <n> men is
        linearly proportional.  There are none of the economies of
        scale one would expect to find when teaching groups of men
        with a single instructor, and individual men can be trained
        in unreasonably short periods of time.

    o   Units in Olympia move by first waiting the duration of the journey
        in the starting location, then instantly jumping to the destination.
        One can see units long after they have departed.  An interrupted
        movement order instantly brings units back to their starting
        location.  Combat is possible with units after they have left.

        Note that most interaction with units, such as giving items and
        stacking, is explicitly prevented after they have begun movement.
        Combat is allowed up until the point a unit has actually moved out
        of a location, however, so that units can't become invulnerable
	by constantly moving.

    o   Reports are received for every location visited by a player's units
        up until the end of the month, even if the units have since left
        the viewed locations.

Literally hundreds of playtesters offered suggestions on the design of
Olympia, and spent countless hours testing the game and reporting bugs.
