The Senate is the first building to be used for political purposes in Memoriapolis. In ancient times, your city was part of a democracy inspired by Athens, where elected magistrates were drawn at random and renewed on a regular basis. As leader of the city, you always have a seat in the Senate.
The building
Through politics, you can pass decrees that will have an impact on your city for as long as you choose. This allows you to respond to or anticipate certain ongoing crises.
The majority of magistrates must vote in favour of your decree if they consider it to be in their best interests; but don't panic, every politician can be corrupted...…ːsteamfacepalmː
Get the Senate to vote on decrees
The world changes with each period, and so does the political system.
Tip: You can only have one decree at any one time, so it's best to always have one active. Favour short durations to anticipate and long durations to respond to a problem. ːsteamhappyː
