Pro Efficiency Tips: 1) Your markets don't have to be close to the houses (resources FROM markets teleport to houses, they are not carried) but they do need to be close to granaries and storage for clothing and firewood (resources going TO the market does get manually carried). 2) Break up your farms to increase efficiency. Same farm area, just broken up into several smaller adjacent farms. That way, when your oxen are plowing, your farm workers can simultaneously work on other plots instead of just waiting for the oxen to do the whole thing solo. Also, in the even that you don't have enough time to finish the whole thing in the season, instead of the whole field being wasted the sections that did get finished will be producing. 3) Build your city over the least fertile land in the region. Build small hamlets around resources, such as iron mine, smelter, and blacksmith all close together, and assign the nearby home's families to those jobs. Assign families to jobs close to their house whenever possible. 4) Have multiple storehouses and limit the resources they can store there to only the ones that are produced near by. This prevents resources on the other end of the region being delivered to storage that is far away from the production places that need them. 5) The size of the backyard for houses does not matter to goats and chickens, they will produce the same regardless of yard size, so long at it has one. Larger back yards do increase production for things like vegetable and fruit. So, reserve your larger backyards for planting.

I like your idea of keep playing this town and filling out the entire tile. Once you hit 6000 you've got the third biggest town in England at that time

[@jarlnils435]

For that you would need a few thousands more. In Germany I could name a number of towns bigger than 6000 people. Hildesheim had 5000 militiamen, give 3000 of these men wifes and than each 3-5 children. You will easily have 12000 people. And it was not the biggest one, just the best fortified city.

[@KingJupiter]

@@jarlnils435 I remember a time where Brugges and Leipzig were one of the biggest ones with around 5k-6k Maybe I was a couple of centuries off, iirc it was the 12th century

[@jarlnils435]

@@KingJupiter the numbers about Hildesheim were 15th century. It was one of the strongest north german cities. Had a century of war against the Welfen family and well trained, armed and armored citizen soldiers.

@@jarlnils435 I was right, at least not wrong If we use England as an example, a city with a population of 6k would have been the 3rd largest in the year 1377

[@jarlnils435]

@@KingJupiter well, Hildesheim, Lüneburg, Braunschweig, Lübeck, Hamburg, Goslar, Bremen, Nürnberg, Wien, that would have been the biggest cities. Most cities were smaller. They were few. For england 1377, it was a bad age for england. The black death had taken many lives. The same in germany. Many regions were void of people. But a hundred years later, the population had been back as strong as before the plague.

for dev notes, it seems that once you get an established town, resource management and money doesn't feel as big of an issue. It would be nice if that was offset with more aggressive neighboring kingdoms or some way to balance that out

[@danilooliveira6580]

it's probably because trading is completely unbalanced. trading is kinda useless before you get the trading perk, and then it gets overpowered.

[@TENGILL]

I loved it at the end when you zoomed out to the "map view" (54:07), that you could actually see your town drawn on the map. Like it would be if you looked on an actual map of the area. That's a nice touch!

A little tip I could give you is the same tip I'd give to a city skyline player : build with the curvature of the earth, build your roads accordingly and you buildings accordingly : maybe the road going up the hill is a little curvy so its not too steep. Same for farms and fields, I just think it looks better where it's flat, and if it's not flat, maybe it has a weird shape to accomodate to the land, instead of a big squary field !

I really enjoyed this playthrough. I think you could start a new run using all the experience you got from this one. I'd really love to see your settlements divided into "themed" specialized districts to be historically accurate. These themed districts could look like: - a main town with a really dense building structure (tier 3 houses) containing mostly workshops that process goods that are either produced in designated farming and mining/woodcutting districts or being imported by trading posts surrounding the town. This could be like the commercial/economic center of your holding - designated farming and mining/woodcutting districts surrounding/further away from your main town with not over tier 2 houses to support these buildings, that produce the goods needed in your commercial district. - a walled fortress in a tactically advantageous terrain to be the place from where you exercise your power over your realm with all the trees surrounding cut to grant you good tactical vision over your land. I think this might be somewhat historically accurate.

[@SnapStrategy]

Thankyou very much!! also thank you for becoming a member!! Yeah that would actually be really nice to try! instead of solely focusing on a single region to just spread it out and try full map control with some of the things you mentioned!

43:05 You can choose how many houses go on a plot. Use the plus/minus buttons after selecting the outline. Then you can change the number of burgage plots that will be built. Also, the accessory dwellings seem to boost density over building two houses. If you are trying to build big towns that may help you put more people in less space.

[@PrimeNPC]

I really hope they'll implement a form of automatic employment for families. Ostriv does it really well, families will move to empty houses that are built closer to their workplace, or you can swap with other families. Also having empty houses nearby will allow their children to move in there once they grow up. Having automatic job assignment with some form of priority system would allow you to plot out an entire village ensuring specific buildings for production are built first or in order, and then sit back with no UI and watch it grow and sustain itself. Would make for awesome time lapses given how natural and realistic the town ends up looking. The building system in this game is actually amazing.

A family of 3 in this game is really a family of around 5. On average, on top of the husband-wife-son, you'd have a daughter around the son's age without her own child, and a toddler, maybe half an elder unable to work. A town of 100 families would have 500-600 population instead of 300

[@SnapStrategy]

Maybe! I got a poll going out tomorrow to see what people would like to see!

[@jmum189]

1000 is really easy, here is how: 1. Place all granaries next to your market and put that lot near to you food production areas. Food is transported to granaries and from granaries to markets. It is not transported from markets to home, it is teleported instead. 2. For vegies and apples the amount a property produces is based on its size, not its population. So you want just a few massive vegie and apple properties and keep them at level 1 housing. 3. A property produces the same amount of eggs not matter its size. So for egg producing properties make them as small as possible. 4. For coin you need to make the smallest property size you can level up to level 3. Keep them to this size to make as many as possible. Level 3 means 4 families live there. 5. For berries and meat try making 4 foraging and 4 hunting lodges with 1 family working in each. Dont be tempted to go beyond more than 1 family working per building as there are efficiency penalties. 6. Once your land has developed to the point where supplying food becomes a property you need to be exporting things made from wood, such as bows. Use the money you earn to buy in berries and meat. The other food items you should be self sufficient in. You can combine 6 foresters with a log, plank, and firewood properties, into an area that produces wood output forever. 7. Pastures - If you imported for example 5000 sheep then the amount of pasture land they need isn`t as much as you might think. Import that many and every year you will be getting about 200 new sheep you can sell.

Congratulations on achieving your goal! I think if you take from this what you've learned so far, it would be good to start over again with a new map. I liked the idea of no trading challenge. I also think you could make better use of warehouses and granaries next time perhaps, because those should move around foods and supplies effectively, when manned and managed right I guess. Also, when you hit control, you can increase or decrease the area where woods can be cut or grown.
