I believe the fruit was most likely pomegranates. Romans did like them and in a majority of their territory they were grown, specifically Northern Africa where CarthagO was.

[@mauer1]

so im testing a little with the forced walkers market ladies. As it seems you actually dont need a lot of markets to feed everyone, the houses hold a lot of food, like for the loop you had in lugdunum you actually only needed one market lady for the entire loop. The house size doesnt really matter as they hold more food the more people live in it. Thats the real problem here, you need to separate the housings a little, so the collect market lady has the time to stock up food. that beeing said it is far more important to have the markets providing seperate things. so you can set it up that the market is closest to its own ressource. And for food 2 grenaries, unless of course you have another way to secure the granarie the market lady is taking from is always full enough. so now for theaters. The actor colony etc is seeing the road connections to anywhere on the map, so it wants to provide actors to anywhere aswell, but the actors will despawn after a certain amount of tiles. so just add another colony and gladiator school to the area they are despawning to basically refresh them.

I can definitely see why this map would be one of the hardest to complete a No Debt challenge on.

[@themetalhippieplays7993]

I like the thought of a no dent challenge although it’s mainly the first like five to fifteen minutes that is a challenge :/

[@mauer1]

@@themetalhippieplays7993 he uploaded a no dept challenge run already but its not only about the first minutes. some maps getting harder the longer you go because you have to buy in a lot of things for the villas and palaces only native trades are a little ridiculus in terms of money.

[@fluffycloud88]

That’s a tough map indeed. I remember being stuck on this mission back when I was a kid. I would always restart playing the game from the beginning because I always gave up on this map. And when I finally succeeded after the 20th try, I cried tears of joy.

[@couchpotatoe91]

This is by far the most fun mapand nobody can convince me otherwise. Mediolanum is fun at first, but the map and fact that you can easily spam weapons and make money makes it too easy. This dumpster fire of a city on the other side mixed with the fact that you get attacked from all possible sides mixed with the natives is just such a cool gameplay experience!

[@DannyRiley-vx9se]

The choke points in Mediolanum make it too easy too.

It's a tough one for sure, I'd say this might be the toughest mission in the game considering the weird start and where it is in the campaign list. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@stanbroock3043]

Its amazing how you make this more challenging for yourself, regarding the 9 by 9 block Playthrough that made it so easy and stable. Also, the forced walker mechanic, it keeps coming with surprises how it works out with the layout of the city. Only more respect for you Mr. GamerZakh, fun to watch the video(s)!

[@GamerZakh]

The trick is, whenever I feel like the game is too easy, I do something dumber lol. Glad you're enjoying it!

Always make 3 layers of wall. Sentries can walk on the 3rd layer and throw spear. It also does not block towers from firing. Discovered it recently by accident, and it is awesome

[@davidsolomon05]

At 2:46:00 your market wasn't dead. You placed a second one because the first wasn't reaching the last villa, and turned off all the buying to empty the market. Then the newer market burned down and you didn't replace it, or turn buying back on :) I'm sorry I didn't catch the stream live to let you know as it happened, I was screaming at youtube hoping you'd realize :D

That was a reeeally tough one... until it clicked. Build slums upwards of 2500 ppl Speed towards ALL exports Buy iron and make weapons Speed towards 6 Forts Once you stabilize and start making cash, make yourself a huge forced walker section (2x6 fountains) and slowly build towards each house improvement. Win. Thank you for the ideas, Zakh!

[@cavanaughh1490]

Perhaps he'll notice this half an hour after the first problem happened, but I am convinced that if an Actor Colony is sending to an Amphitheatre, it will not send to a Theatre. He built this system assuming this would work, but it's not working. If the Amphitheatre is closer to the Colony than the Theatre, you won't get Theatre coverage. Since Gladiators guarantee Amphitheatre coverage, you need to arrange it so the Colony takes care of Theatre access by having the Theatre closer to it than the Amphitheatre. I would not be surprised if a similar situation occurs with Gladiators and the Coliseum.

[@SamuraiTacos1]

[@drmontorsi7498]

A challenge for you: create the most natural looking city you can, without theater dumps, loops, maybe some forced walkers and make it work!

[@TSpoon823]

Those special effects in the beginning get 👍👍

[@TSpoon823]

Zakh, I don't know if you saw but for about the first half of the game, 3 of your market buyers were getting stuck and despawning like the bath house workers were. Could explain why you struggled with food for so long. I get the idea of the roadblocks on the southern road, but I do think they mess up how walkers are spawning. Just an educated guess though.

[@asbestinuS]

2:47:00 I was hoping your chat would tell you, at this point I don't know if they ever will, yet. But you put down a second market because the first market wasn't reaching the last house. Then you changed the first market to "not accepting" anything (to not waste ressources) and then a few minutes later your second market burned down. You then removed the rubble and never reactivated the first market (and 2 painful minutes never checked the settings on the first market ever again) :D

[@Ails1234]

2:52:39 That road got deleted because of the autosave. When the month changed, it lagged your input and clicking in the House button with the Clear tool in hand was registered as you clicking that road tile. I think 2:58:16 Looks like it's reaching some kind of maximum actor number. Like let's say there can be 50 actors going from actor colonies to theaters. When a new spawns, the oldest one despawns. Might have happened because of 3 actor colonies + the extremely long path 3:00:00 Luckily the trees are fireproof 3:28:40 Maybe they're pomegranates? I looked it up and surprisingly enough, the city you're building right now was known for growing them

[@SZislecker]

Hey Zakh, I just wanted to let you know, that I think you should "stop the trade" if you have a request (the oil at 43:40 i.e.), instead of setting a stockminimum. It has the same effect, because you have to visit the menu in both cases once, stock the oil and have way less to click. Keep it up! Love the forced walker mechanic :)

[@MaegnasMw]

I think my best guess for the canon for fruit is that it is the 88mm flak gun, best anti tank weapon ever! 😋

[@qashqai124]

The coverage for fountains on desert maps is less than on northern maps. When you do a zigzag road placement on a desert map you want 7 squares between the long roads so the housing is watered. On northern maps you can have 9 squares. Since reservoirs are 9 squares in size and have an adverse desirability for 3 more squares on all sides, you want as much space around them as possible. I place roads crossing their last undesirable squares. In desert maps, I place two medium statues next to each place the road, that I will plaza later, come near the reservoir. with a row of gardens surrounding the fountains, the desirability is at its best. Now, to place these zigzag roads either 10 squares or 8 squares apart, depending on the map, do this. As you place roads, a number shows up next to the cursor. It tells you how many squares long the road is from the point of origin. Turn the corner and another number shows up to tell you how far you are from the first road. Start a a northern spot, fix road going straight south. The road forms an angle to the left. It you stay going straight south, the two numbers displayed will be equal. Go until both numbers are 10 and release the mouse button. Start at the south end and return to the point of origin and you will create a 10 x 10 square that a fountain in the center will water all housing on the inside of the road. [On desert maps, 8 x 8 does the same.] Use the numbers the software provides to place roads, don't count them by hand. [Sorry this is so long but I've seen you do this hand counting on many a run-thorough. Since you continue to do this and never make comment about the software supplied numbers, I think you never noticed them.]

[@karelvalecka7653]

Hi Zakh, thanks for the new episode, really enjoyed it. Btw I hope you will do the x luxury palaces challenge on Londinium, I've done some testing with the Pantheon and you can forced walker it to a very long loop as houses lose access to pantheon when the priest travels circa 350 tiles so you can have, according to my tests, a loop 300-350 tiles long to keep it stable. The forced walker road needs to touch the back corners of the pantheon or it doesn't work. Keep in mind I tested only pantheon, but I think these rules will apply to all grand temples. Think it can help you with the challenge, I'd probably use Mars Quirinus epithet in the Mars Grand temple to lower the consumption of all goods by 10%. I'll try it myself in the near future.

[@muchaoutdoors5731]

I love the moment when Zakh looks at us and stay speechless ;D

[@qashqai124]

Would your luxury building do better if desirability was better? Delete the road to the Southeast. Place a large statue next to each reservoir. Go to Desirability. See that this makes for a better scene. Draw the road around the large statues and plaza it up. Now the color is blue. I tend to make my blocks 24 houses long and 9 wide. So my road formes 3 paraelle roads. There is room for a reservoir in the middle pair. I placed a midsized statue between the reservoir and the road on both sides. While this loses a 2 x 2 house but improves the desirability. This works especially with forced walkers.

[@cwjian90]

Also, the in-game help mentions figs, dates, and plums from Syria, so presumably your fruit farms are growing those in Carthago's similar climate

Late comment here... [22:24] "Do they always buy the olives?" Could it be that, they always set destination and buy from the closest warehouse with available stock when they spawn?

[@mauer1]

actually you can sync them easier if you look how long they need to get to the first house and then use the bar that slowly goes down to sync up the next one, because the next one just has to hit it before it reaches 0. So you are also getting the minimum amount in because as soon as one is already getting the first house you will be done.

[@mauer1]

this should also work with markets but because its far more important for markets to be really fast with the stock replenishing it might be a little confusing.

@GamerZakh Hello, maybe you should consider building monuments in earlier stages of the map, to really help you in the scenario... not just to "tick it off" at the end, when you're already all set up. It might also be considered an extra challege to do so with earlier more limited supplies... and it might take some seconds off from the length of videos (not that the length is problem), opposite to "appending" monument building at the end.

On the walkers, those turning back at the roadblock are the wandering walkers turning back, not the walkers from the actor colony going to the theatre for example.
