Pharaoh Housing Plan

[Cleavus]

Heres a Housing Plan I have been using since the game first came out in the 90's.
I have never had any devolvement, unless I ran out of product!
The tax guys can be replaced with mortuaries, and place the tax guys (and firehouses) around the outside square.
Try it out, it looks good, its compact, you can grow your city up to 3,000 per block, and knit as many of these as you need together to expand your city.

Looks good! though i try and stick more housing

[Paktu]

huh, this looks cool. idk if i would get the population i need for the investment though. but this looks like a super efficient design

[Gurkhal]

Looks cool. My cities are usually a fairly chaotic mess, and I like that, but that planning does look nice.

@Gurkhal / Paktu /alexd212- thanks guys! Ive used it for years now. Sometimes you have to shift the water guys around a bit when your in the desert but theres usually no issue.

Houses = Pink squares? This plan looks neat, I struggle with entertainment and temple distribution so I'll try this out.

This plan is cookie cutter for sure but the problem is that sometimes it doesn't really work out because of the constrain in resources, and location.

I still use the 6x17 road design.. works fine for me.

Thank You!

This is a great design but the one question I have is what about when you need to get up to the larger style homes that take 3x3 or even the palatial estates that are 4x4?

etijian, there are quite a few options found here: https://caesar3.heavengames.com/cgi-bin/caeforumscgi/display.cgi?action=st&fn=25&tn=2237&st=140#post141

particular to your question in that thread is reply #141, which that link should take you to. Though there are other options in the thread.

Too much redundancy in services for too little housing, in my opinion.
