Housing upgrade

[ColoneLoco]

I would like certain buildings to upgrade to level 2, but I don't know why it's not working... I've been waiting for ages and everything (resources, trees, flowers, ...) is nearby and the desirability is high. It is a spot of land where there were level 2 houses before but which I deleted and where new buildings were build. Also, I can't see who lives in the buildings... why is this? I'm pretty sure they have reached the citizen statute. See link for pic in description.

If I remember correctly level 2 houses work similar to the leveling up of citizens, there's a ratio that won't be exceeded.

Exactly this. Keep letting more people into your town. Eventually they will upgrade

Did not know that, thanks!

I have figured out now that those houses which have no names are empty ones. What I don't understand though is that I have to keep creating building zoining for villagers that have not enough space, while no one was entering the city anymore. The count of people lacking space also goes up steadily, until I zone more area. I wonder this is a bug or if I am the only one having this issue? I must add as well that at a certain point I had to destroy a lot of buildings (for my wall), but i wonder if this caused that apparent feedback cycle..
It would be nice if new villagers just go and live in a newly built home.
My question is basically, how come I have so many empty houses? there's definitely more than 20...
Here another screenshot from what I think are empty houses:

Yeah, you're right! I've found that you might as well just delete the empty/abandoned houses along with the decorations, and let your villies use the space to built what they want where they want.

What are those walls and watchtowers around the innermost part of the village? Cant find them anywhere in the menus.

Yeah, they look like the inner city in "Medieval Kingdom Wars," don't they? I've never built walls (having found no use for them), but there is a "Wall" menu, located just to the right of the regular "Public Buildings" build menu.

One of the devs posted recently on another thread that the walls are for a future time when Safety will become another concern for the villagers.

That's the Stone Gate v6 mod by vjraymon.
