Worker Percentages
In Zeus, as was the case in Pharaoh, only a certain number of people in your city actually do any work. Forum regular RSC carried out a few tests, and came up with the following table showing the percentage of the population who actually work under different circumstances (difficulty level and wage rate):
| Difficulty level | None | Very Low | Low | Normal | High | Very High |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Beginner | 42 | 46 | 49 | 52 | 55 | 57 |
| Mortal | 37 | 41 | 44 | 47 | 50 | 52 |
| Hero | 32 | 36 | 39 | 42 | 45 | 47 |
| Titan | 29 | 33 | 36 | 39 | 42 | 44 |
| Olympian | 27 | 31 | 34 | 37 | 40 | 42 |
His further comments were:
“As you can see, Mortal is 5% less than Beginner, Hero is 5% less than Mortal, Titan is 3% less than Hero, and Olympian is 2% less than Titan.
I did two tests – 25 Huts (or 200 people) and 50 Townhouses (3000 people). All the worker percents came out to exactly the same “nice” numbers, so I didn’t have to round.”

Wage rates
And this is what you’re paying your workers per year for each wage rate setting:
| Wage Rate | Drachmas/year/worker |
|---|---|
| None | 0 |
| Very low | 2 |
| Low | 2.5 |
| Normal | 3 |
| High | 3.4 |
| Very high | 4 |
