Thebes Forge > Catapult due in 2 just in time for growth in 3. I do not remove the phantom governors Engineer as it gives a nice round 20 hammers that the forge + bureaucracy converts to 35.

No unhappiness in Thebes but I'm not sure why maybe whip penalty gone away or we got a benefit from entering Medieval Era or Bureaucracy?.
