    I love the two pavilions! I tried one pavilion roadblocked like that, but even though it was exactly opposite the incoming road, my entertainers took only one side of the loop. This solves that issue very elegantly.
    I played the heck out of the OG Pharaoh, and am now working my way through PANE and loving it. Good chatter on their discord about bugs, workarounds, fixes, and general building techniques and socializing.

    Great job. It really gives me so much joy to see how my old, beloved Pharaoh is getting its second youth.
    Btw. if you're new to this game guys, keep in mind that you can also play around with the shape of these housing blocks however you like, effectively making something called "flexiblock". They go well with any terrain obstacles. It also helps shaping your city according to the riverbank or shoreline which looks really nice.

      Hey thanks for the comment. This is true. I talked a little about shortening it but as long as keep the same relative selection of services and such you can make it what ever you like! However, due to the way entertainment works it has to be equal distance between the two. Keep this in mine if you make weird sizes.

    I use a lot of V/L blocks with houses on the outside. They're usually very big with enough room for multiple bazaars, temples, and pavilions plus all the other stuff. Usually, I can get a stable block that's about 4-6k people depending on the map. Selima I got about 6500 pop in one L block.

      Hey great question. Just as with temples and such, there is always more of a requirement than actually needed for a population. You could do smaller blocks, so that more services are needed. Or you could build and area where you have schools, library's, and so on to meet requirements. This is similar with entertainment.

    Neat block design but it has some issues.
    If a 2x2 house at the bottom of the loop devolves at some point remaining 1x1 at the bottom won't get access to services from inner loop.
    You have to put 4 road blocks at the middle road at 13:20. (Edit: I assume you're playing with the global worker pool enabled because this layout won't work otherwise)
    I found these big 3k+ layouts are pointless at least in the first half of the campaign because of unemployment issues. Better to build 2 1.5k blocks but closer to industry/farms. This way you get 2 sets of service buildings which soak up more employment.

    • @7Wolf77
      @7Wolf77  Рік тому +1

      Houses will never devolve to a 1x1, it will only go down to a 2x2. Even with a plague and empty houses, as soon as people move back in it will go back to a 2x2.
      They work just fine for me. The thing is you don't HAVE to fill up the whole block with houses. Whats the point? Fill it up as you need to and just know that is a maximum number possible by a block. I never fill a whole block up at the start unless I know I am going to be bottle necked by something like having to import clay.

    I played the original version for years, 1000s of hours. This is not a good setup.
    It's difficult to explain, and the land layout is super important in every scenario. But think for the future. Bazaars need to service every house, as do fire and water and architects. Concentrate on the essentials but leave space for more advanced. The space left initially takes time to come to fruition but without space you need courthouses, libraries, apocathaperies, doctors, tax collectors, the list goes on. One thing you can focus on is having like a mall in the center of a housing area. So keep like a 12x12 or more where everything other than housing can be placed, including entertainment that takes a big space. Keep the entertainment employers far from housing because they bring the reputation down for the land.
