Desc: This is the "different approach" to Lugdunum I talked about in my post on
the Career forum. This isn't a completed city, since the population is only
just under 1500. What it shows is the result of my effort to build up the
city as much as possible using only the area right near the road to Rome and
the farming island, without putting anything in between and without crossing
to the natives' land.
While developing this strategy, it became more of an exercise for me in
analyzing the efficiency of my distribution network and in careful planning
of city growth. As such, it was extremely instructional to me and, I
believe, pretty successful. I was able to grow to 1480 population and a
high prosperity rating with only the two housing blocks, one in each of
those two areas. Whether or not this is a viable approach to completing the
level I'm less sure of. I definitely plan to take it from here, and will
probably post the result as soon as I can.
The zip file includes 3 saves, labeled Lugdunum 1, 2 and 3. These represent
the city at population levels of 500, 1000 and 1480, which is as far as I
was able to take it without going past my initial 72 tiles of housing. I
would love to receive any and all feedback on the approach I've taken,
either through the forum or e-mail.
