They flummox the initial pathfinding when you plop a firehouse or garbage dump so that they never dispatch trucks. One problem I ran into was that specialty roads (like some kinds of alleys and ultra-compact 4 lane roads) can cause problems with civic services. The big change in this pattern was using two-way alleys instead of streets with smaller, more complex underground interchanges. Third generation patterns used three part grid-patterns and were the most efficient design across allД¬riteria. Have to go underground to go north/south. Much infrastructure underground as possible, leading to long stretches of parallel roads that don't touch. On the surface world with roads is a square that a citizen can't live or work on. Second generation patterns made use of my discovery that only above-ground things matter. Solution because at high loads they clog up easily. They're not a bad way to go! They're not the most efficient These are cheap toД«uild and keep traffic mostly under control. Squares or rectangles of streets that cross the landscape. Tiled RoadwaysДЇirst generation patterns were grids. So I set to work building tileable roads with progressively greater and greater efficiency. If I could buildДЄ pattern that was tileable, traffic-efficient, and (best of all) profitable, then it could be repeated across an entire In order to best accomplish what I wanted to do, I thought a repeating pattern would be best. Service placement - placing civic buildings to maximize their coverage.Efficiency - the widest streets aren't always the most cost efficient.Traffic management - knowing where cars will go given the lanes they have.I spent a lot of time building cities for fun and got a feel for which patterns work and which ones don't. Best guess is thatД¬ity-wide population is calculated differently than what the squares themselves provide. To be honest, I can't explain why I got such a number. So the maximum theoretical population is around 105,000? That's if every square was

Maximum Theoretical Population At high density and full upgrade status, a single square can support two citizens. Every purple column (fire departments in this case) are clusters of civic buildings. Mostly grid-pattern with the edges having most of the custom stuff. You can see the general layout of the city above. That means there's a total buildable area of 52,900 squares. Maximum Buildable Land The starter tile has about 230 x 230 buildable squares when fully flattened and leveled. Is highly complex so a scientific approach would take a long time. I'll try to stick to the broad strokes because this game I don't want to learn all theДЇiner points of how C:S works, and I won't relay that here. When I set out to do this, I made an effort not to try to reverse-engineer the game.
