🫘The second parent city! And now I'm going to show you all a much more sensible method of laying things out (actually the thing the tutorial itself teaches us how to do): housing blocks!

WP is a liar and a fraud. I demand my view back.
53:12 "Baaaa" says Potatyphus obliviously, as he digs himself deeply in debt with his purchase of 300 sheep.
Loved it when past WP was telling future WP to provide a history lesson and future WP was like. No past me, they have had too much history for one episode. Also the behind the scenes video was great, never seen that before.

I may or may not begin arguing with myself before this is all over!
Love that you're back into LPs. I occasionally dip back into the GW2 let's play or VisualWood stuff, and the views have always increased in the meantime. I suspect I'm not the only one.
My view of blocks is that I always want to do things differently every time. Sometimes fancy stuff, sometimes just.. do it in a square, or a line, or like.. kinda flower shapes. And generally I'm more for "houses in the middle, other buildings on the other side of the road"
My favourite videos in a long time. Been watching since gw2 was announced. Seems to me like you've found a new way to do content you're passionate about. Its a delight to watch 😊
Love this series. I also learned that the ambient noises I love are coming from the theatre and not the agora!
Goodness that last quarter of the episode where you didn't think anything was strange about the fact that there were no shepherds, carters or people working in the carding sheds was painful to watch. . .

48:15 Diogenes was a greek philosopher who was famous for believing that everyone should live simply and should not be concerned with material processions, and he famously lived in a clay wine jar (not a barrel, supposedly) and spent his time challenging social conventions of the day and being in perpetual poverty. There's more to his story but the one I always remembered was when he apparently interrupted plato's lecture where plato described men as "featherless bipeds" and he plucked a chicken of it's feathers and proclaimed "behold, here is a man" or something to that effect.

About your agora question at around 37:00, your assumption is correct, the cart turned around because the food stall (being the only stall on that agora) ran out of goods. By the looks of it, if the cart had moved a few blocks further before running out it would have made the full circle.

Yeah well observed!
I think the Competitor might be my new spirit animal. "Why are people complaining about no food? I ate - JUST LAST WEEK!" "A lot of people in the city are sick. I COULD BREAK THEM LIKE A TWIG!" "Vassal? SMASHAL!" These voicelines are just perfect 😂
Perfect timing..just walked in the door from work!

Love this series! It motivated me to replay Emperor, which I believe is the last in this particular city builder series, set in ancient China. Having a blast - thanks WP :)

"Vassal?! SMASHAL!!!!" Absolute gold.
Blocks is the way. When I played Cleopatra and Pharao, always did blocks yeah :D Almost. Sometimes narrow mines required lines with shabby huts. Interestingly, I been trying out Manor Lords. It's quite a different game, you have several regions. You have small village/town you're developing in each region. You have a marketplace, the larger it is, the more stalls it can have. You have 0 control over which good stalls are setup in your market place (so you cannot say 'only sell food here'). I am thinking that as game develops (early access atm), I will be forced into a circle town design where marketplace or several will be in the 'middle' while houses are arranged in wider and wider circles around that place. Where my first town is almost a straight line. It's quite interesting to think, most medieval towns were a circle around a keep on the hill. Now in Manor Lords I imagine i'll be trying my best to do a circle but be constrained by land fertility etc. Love these types of games! Logistics, city planning. Woo! So good.
Been in city builder mode because Manor Lords early access came out. It's nice to see this blast from the past at the same time.

I wonder if it would be more efficient when making those housing blocks, to put houses on the outer circle, with the road and necessities on the inside. That way you could fit more houses on the outside. And also the walkers would have less of a distance to walk so maybe the area could be bigger also. Kind of like you did on the first block. (Square road with houses outside and necessities inside, if I didn't explain correctly xd)

There are a bunch of ways to do it, yeah! Keep wondering, I'm gonna show off a lot of designs.
Bandwidth makes sense to me, but maybe that's only because I'm a fellow computer nerd.
