HUGE festival for Hellenes. So many possible events. Must be held in a Greek kingdom.

Mechanic for deciding who will host the games needs to be designed.

Only pagan or christians as well?

The Olympics was actually restricted to Greek people. Even the Roman's were barred from participating. The Olympics were even held under Roman rule until shut down by a Christian emperor (Theodosius). They were highly religious in nature, so yeah, restricted to Hellenic Pagans, maybe even Greek cultured characters.

@Mbites I'm sorry for the tone of that comment, it was unintentionally harsh.

@xirsoi I did not feel offended in any way by the comment, you just told my the facts. You never stop learning about history and that is one of the fascinating parts. Thanks for pointing that out, did not even think that it was harsh.
