    Default Construction Report: Servile Snarking at its finest

    A Servile Snarker, as defined by TV Tropes, is simply a servant of yours who happens to be a Deadpan Snarker.

    I believe your royal messenger in EB who informs you about completed buildings exhibits this quality at times with lines such as, (not exact quotes)

    Original: Carriage Road

    We would politely request them to move a little to the left so that we can stab them easily, take their land and put our nice roads in them too.
    Original: Agora

    It is so considerate of you. We wonder where we would be without your guidance? Let me tell you where: Taking a nap under a tree. And yet I am standing here telling you how great you are.
    Original: Governor's Villa

    He was so grateful that he named his son after you. But I wouldn't rejoice if I were you - His son is seriously ugly.
    Original: Coastal Clearing

    The fishermen were not happy, and as they left I heard one of them muttering us a curse. Oh well, perhaps it wouldn't matter. At least now we can build a port here!
    Anyone have more quotes from the funny royal building report messenger?

    Check out the Carthaginians. Almost all of their buildings have this.
    Upon having constructed a basic school:
    We have constructed a basic school in this town. No unsacrificed child will be left behind now.
    Also, the Swęboz have some funnies, especially the level 1 granary, the blacksmith, and the ports.
    Say goodbye to those clubs, gentlemen, and line up for some of these swords. Or at least put some spikes in your club, for goodness' sake.

    We have constructed a house for the local governor of this small town. I've heard that the people here have not been so excited about anything since a cat was born with five legs a few years ago to one of our local farmers.
    Thanks to your generous funding, a small house has been constructed in this town for the local governor. It's not very fancy, but at least he is not living in an upstairs addition to his parents' house now. It is difficult to gain the respect of the people when you don't even have enough room in your dwelling for your wife to live with you there.
    The town has grown enough for us to provide a house for the local governor. If we hadn't built it, how would the citizens of his town respect him? He wouldn't govern effectively while still living with his parents.
    Some resentment of parental housing within the EB team?

    Here some Roman and Carthaginian ones, found in an unlikely place - a Swęboz grand campaign (I repaired some buildings of theirs).

    Are these hidden or something? Is there any reason I can't seem to read them?

    You mean, hidden in the game?

    I've never seen anything like them, too. But then again, I haven't played any other factions besides the Romani...
