Ideal Housing Block Design

[Pinstar]

After much experimenting, I think I've stumbled on an ideal housing block. This block houses quite a few plots and is capable of growing them all to level 10 (assuming you provide them with the required resources). This removes the RNG so you will never have de-leveling due to bad luck with your walkers. Let me know what you think. I call it the "Lethis 11 Housing Block"

i use this one as guide. always perfect. will yield around 1200 level 10 worker per block. i got it from the walker thread discussion.

sorry to say that, but your optimum looks like an embellished concentration camp xD

i for my part after 10 missions with winded districts
went now to the square optimization

Just to show the finished product, here is what it looks like http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=477777161

It contains 44 housing plots and sports 1760 people when all houses are level 10 all off of one set of service buildings. I mis-spoke in the video when I said it might contain more than 2k.

I like the 23H blocks! :) work pretty fine....
Do you guys have ideas for upper class blocks?

[spielerinchen]

thanks RenWex, great that it's working for you

here similiarly build simple rich blocks
i place the townhall there too, increases the decoration value

I'd love a layout with bigger parks - If only to remove some of the repetition of one tile parks :)

[spielerinchen]

yes, more decorations in general would be great
there are simply too few
2 trees with only one view, so not even turnable for more variation
3 colors in planters
1 small statue with unfortunately only 2 views, it had to have all 4 views to be at least placeable at every street, but one small statue is just too little xO
a bank with 4 views, that's great
1 Litfaß column, i love it !!! but it's rather suitable for worker houses than for the rich districts

again, i would love to have embellished place, plate, slab or whatever called, to use as decoration for open spaces instead of those planters

the parks & fountains are great, there could be also even bigger

& i loved those extra small monuments in Impressions games, when a battle was won or a population peek was reached i guess it was in Zeus
i miss also the obelisks :D

[spielerinchen]

those rich blocks above are the simplest lazy blocks, i am lazy with them cause i prefer the worker housing xD
i think with more decorations i would build them more dilligently, but overall, i prefer to build in sandbox mode, in a campagn i just try to stay safe & reach the goal, no great map layout
maybe later, when all missions are won & there is nothing more to do :)

Pinstar, you can actually increase your build into the Lethis Twelve, or a 26-6-26-6 build as I call it. Same width, only I can add an extra house in the length.

The trick is the placement of the weakest (shortest walker) link, the well.
