Overseer of Public Health
Your Overseer of Public Health reports on the city’s
overall health. He tracks the number of Physician’s
offices, Dentist’s offices, Apothecaries and Mortuaries
working in the city and knows if any particular health
problems face the city. He also keeps you up-to-date
on citizens’ latest healthcare demands.
Having more than enough of Physician’s offices,
Dentist’s offices and Mortuaries in a city also increases
its Culture Rating (see page 191). Check in with your
Overseer of Public Health frequently to make sure the
city has enough health care buildings. Because not
every city needs them, the Apothecary has no effect on
the city’s Culture Rating.
Overseer of Learning
Your Overseer of Learning apprises you of the status of
education in the city. He reports the number of active
Scribal Schools and Libraries and how many people can
benefit from existing education structures. He assess-

the flow of trade. He identifies which commodities
can be imported or exported. Once you have agreed
to trade an item, visit him and specify which items to
trade by clicking on them. You can tell him how much
should be kept in the city’s Storage Yards, or you can
rely on his judgement and allow him to import and
export food and goods as he sees fit. When importing,
your Overseer will continue to import a good as long
as the city has less than the chosen level. When
exporting, your Overseer will export goods any time
the city has more then the chosen level.
See pages 91-95 for more on trade.
Overseer of the Granaries
Your Overseer of the Granaries provides information
about the city’s population and its eating habits. The
Overseer offers three different population charts: pop-
ulation history, population by age and population by
dwelling. Population-History shows how the city’s
population size has changed over time. Population-
Census shows the city’s population by age.
Population-Society breaks population down by type
of dwelling.
Your Granaries Overseer also discusses anticipated pop-
ulation trends based on the current levels of immigra-
tion or emigration. He tells you if the city is produc-
ing enough food to feed its citizens and how much
food is stored in the Granaries. He also reports the
number of immigrants that arrived during the previous
month and knows how many people the city’s vacant
housing can hold.
