How to build ?

Phase 1.
Build Phase 1 City,

then upgrade all Workers to Employees/Engineers.

Phase 2.
To build more houses, you need to open-up spaces.

Now, Time is the Key, Hurry.

Demolish Communication Center and Place-Holder.
Build (4+6) Worker houses as temporary dwelling there.

At this point, Engineers will get mad and start leaving, just ignore and hurry.

Now you have total of 177 houses, upgrade all Workers to Employees as soon as possible.

Phase 3.


Make sure you have got (62+79) Employees,Engineers.

Demolish (4+6) worker houses,  re-build Communication Center.

Whenever build your 1st Congress Center.

Housing design without a monument. It is nice and symmetrical and you can just build one City Centre to begin with. You need to add eight houses on the outskirts to get 1400 executives, as the basic version houses 1360. I don't use emergency buildings, but it is very easy to add them around the edges. All of the Engineer Apartments have access to the Congress Centre, but not all of the houses do. Education coverage is 100% though. As is, it has 160 houses;

  • 34 Executive Mansions
  • 42 Engineer Apartments
  • 52 Employee Houses
  • 32 Worker Barracks


And 3,446 citizens;

  • 1,360 Executives
  • 1,050 Engineers
  • 780 Employees
  • 256 Workers


I haven't tried it with Tycoons, but it should work just as well. Enjoy!

Compact City

Compact City Block This layout is ideal when your working with limited space or small to medium islands. With 1 of these fully constructed you can get "Eco Tested Numbers":

  • 1,056 Executives
  • 1,064 Engineers
  • 656 Employees
  • 168 Workers
  • 124 Residences
  • Over 7k Tax Income


The trade Depos on the corners allow Needs Buildings to be placed outside the City Center radius as well as some additional roads.

This design allows you to reach Tech requirements and almost a Monument. Building two of these will achieve that goal.

This modular design also allows for the block to repeat vertically with slight shift of the police station to center between the stack. Just picture the bottom sets of information and police buildings becoming the top of the next Block.

It is also possible to stack sideways with the Information building being the center of the two cities.

Basically gets the job done and isn't a complicated headache!

Optimal Layouts for Small Islands: 1408 Executives with one city center

These layouts maximize space, population, and income with only one city center, one congress/financial center, one TV station, and two concert halls/casinos. This allows you to reach 1408 Executives for either faction, enough to unlock everything.

There is no crime, fire, or sickness coverage, though it is easy to add those around the edges as needed. Hospitals and fire stations cover even the innermost residences; police stations don't, so you'll have to destroy four houses from the outermost ring to place the station when needed. This is a very small price to pay.

Warning: to build some of the outer roads you will need depots around the edges, which may be a problem on very small islands. When you lay down your city center, be sure to leave 2-3 tiles in every direction on every side.

Fully upgraded Eco or Tycoon town: 272 workers, 842 employees, 1344 engineers, 1408 executives (with Living Space +12% TV program).

Detailed Description

A layout design to maximize efficiency of building in term of coverage and number. The layout can fit in a medium island and unlock all Eco building. Fully grown this settlement has: 376+1110+1675+1760=4921 inhabitants, or 47+74+67+44=232 houses. The two thermal power stations have 100% productivity with 99% fire station coverage, 95% hospital coverage and 93% police coverage.

The construction is not easy, the city center block is 11x12 and the central block 9x23 (7 houses + 2 roads). You should start building a city center block, reserve space for the central block and add as soon as possible the second city center block. After that, with exception of the thermal power stations, it should be easy. Adding the power stations disconnect some houses. The connection is made by the road around the police station at the bottom.

The police station and fire station at the bottom and some road need building area extension. Without extension the two security building cannot be build, but the roads don't disconnect houses from a city center. You can replace the two security building by a lone fire station, and only reduce police coverage to 79%.

This layout is the complement of the mushroom. Its size make it difficult to build on a smal map. it add 55% population.

Stem only: Fully grown this settlement (no executives) has: 376+495+1200=2071 inhabitants with 88% fire station coverage and 81% hospital coverage. Police coverage is irrelevant because police station is unlocked by executive. This population is just enough to unlock all engineer's building.

complete mushroom: Fully grown this settlement has: 576+1740+2600+2720=7636 inhabitants with 95% fire station coverage, 90% hospital coverage and 91% police coverage.

By adding the four pale sécurity buildings the coverage become 99.5% , 99.5% and 96%.

Minimal Eco/Tycoon City

168 Eco/Tycoon residences. With increased living space this gives you 1408 Eco/Tycoon Executives - enough to unlock everything.

Fire and Police coverage is 100%, 2 residences are not covered by the Hospitals (can be fixed by moving the outer Hospitals nearer to the fire stations).

The gap between the central City Centers is 10 fields.

To fully support the settlement you will need:

Eco
8 Fishery
8 Tea Plantation
5 Health Food Factory
5 Electronics Factory
3 Health Drink Factory
4 Pasta Production
2 Projector Plant
3 Robot Factory

Detailed Description

This is a Universal Layout for Monument. Very similar to the Clover Colony uploaded by Holce. I implemented this variation before I found this site though, and so the design is entirely my own - great minds think alike I guess. I have tested this design (and the early stage variation) in play to confirm it is capable of doing what I say. Both with Eco and Tycoon homes (though with an Eco Monument in both cases). In one practical implementation, almost 1/4 of the circle was lost (due to terrain) and I was still able to make it a monument city. It is a very resiliant design. It also generates a net positive power level, to help power interests outside the city boundries. I have also successfully melded TWO of these circles together on the same island and the Cornrow design made it VERY easy to meld the two together despite significant overlapping area.

This design gives 100% Police and Hospital coverage, the 4 yellow houses in the image do not have Fire or Information coverage (However, I always leave them at the lowest level of developement, so if they burn I just replace them, and their tax value is not significant enough to warrent the channel benefits).

I include 6 thermal generators in this design to provide positive power output. All 6 can EASILY be brought to 100% by upgrading the houses around them. They also support the growing seed city quite well, even at less than 100% effeciency.

Including the 6 generators, this design fits 376 Houses (the same as the Universal Clover by Cheata with 6 generators, but with better security coverage.) Removing the 6 generators (and one of the roads around the hospital in the rows with 2 generators) provides space for 16 more homes - 4 more than Cheata's universal clover, and brings the 4 yellow houses within range of the information center (I believe). Non-generator version never actually tested in real gameplay by myself.

Additionally, with the exception of the top and bottom roads (for the houses they feed) the "border" road is unnecessary and can be left off if terrain interferes, or to allow a more seemless integration into production buildings built right up to the houses (which I do frequently).

One of the PRIMARY benefits with the cornrow design over that of the universal clover is the EASE of layout planning. I LITERALLY place a city center, build a long road on either side (which I call a rib) then demolish the city center and place new ones next to those ribs to create the next ribs. I then overlay the the city on those ribs in my mind, find my center ribs (the 4 longest roads in the center) and build my boundry road from there (placing and demolishing city centers as needed). Once that is done, I know where everything goes, and I lay down the first 4 city centers or the monument and start building up my city.

Please enjoy - I have found this design to be incredibly helpful in my games. (PS: I have never actually attempted to implement the design with a Tycoon monument, Tycoon Houses yes, but not the monument. However, one should be able to replace the Eco monument easily, and allow for additional houses to be easily added to the edges should one desire to fully utilize the increased radius.

StartCornrow Universal

Universal Cornrow Seed (Or Early Stages Version) This is the Seed (or early) version of the Universal Cornrow (Above), which can be used to reach the monument with emergency and service buildings being placed as you develop (except for fire, which I leave out of the seed city, as I can easily demolish houses and place fire services as needed in response to emergencys, but which are easily added in place of demolished city center/concert halls in the final version. They exist in the finished version only because I like the final product to be maintenance free). All houses created in the seed city remain in the final monument version, and as city halls and other service buildings are replaced by momunement services, more houses (and fire departments) are added seemlessly in their place. The seed city MORE than meets the required Executives needed to finish the monument.

The black houses are not placed in the seed city, because of lack of coverage, but can be placed once the monument foundation is placed.

Further, if you do not have a depot placed near enough to the monument foundation, you can easily demolish 4 houses near it and place a depot while the monument is being constructed, then demolish the depot and rebuild the houses once construction completes.

The space for the monument is left empty because I do not want to destroy houses or anything to construct it. I have placed weather control stations and wind generators (which would not be needed later as developement introduces better alternatives, or increased population increase Thermal Output) in the space on many occassions.

Detailed Description

This is a Universal Layout for Monument. Heavily Plagerised from the Clover Colony uploaded by Holce.

Other than the actual layout of the houses the main difference is the location of the information center. Its new position allows for one extra house per quadrant and gives better coverage.

In order to complete the roads round the edges you may need to use Town Centers or Warehouses to unlock the build area. these can be removed upon completion

Although i dont tend to use them i have marked in possible locations for the Thermal Generators. It should be noted that not all locations should be used at once because of overlaping and the havoc it would play with the roads

Assuming you use the same number of Thermal Generators this design will support 12 more houses than Holce's Clover Design.

FLC Universal BuildUp

Universal Clover (Early Stages) This is a basic idea of how you should start the Universal clover if you dont want to make a seperate colony before you work up to the monument

The 4 Town Centers located at the edges are only used to keep the population happy while you place the Monument. They can be used from the start but its usually eaiser to build from the center out.

This layout should support enough people to complete your first monement however if you get stuck just extend the edges out to fill the normal Universal Clover design once you have placed the base for the monument

Varations on this design can be used to build up Holce's Clover Design in the same way.

This symmetrical layout providing your city some avenues is planned to give you extra space for houses from demolishing after the monument is built and fully functional.

The number of houses the layout shows on plan equals to 256, while demolishing brings you extra 84 houses with a total of 340 (without population enhancements) that should fit ok in most islands except small islands.

Demolishing and it's results in houses are shown in blue numbers on the layout along with the comment "DEL" in the appropriate building names.

Roads are in grey colour while some empty spaces shown as white spaces should not be covered by anything until filled with residences and roads after demolishing.

Detailed Description

This large Eco city has potential for growth which is realized depending on playing situation. I intentially left kept service buildings at a minimum so a player can choose to cover the uncovered areas (gray), situationally place service buildings, or eliminate uncovered houses.

Emphasis was placed on public buillding coverage to maximize income as well as Phase 2 maximum occupation.

There is room for more houses on the outskirts, but as depicted, this layout accomodates 346 residences as follows:

  • 560 Tier 1 Residents (workers)
  • 1665 Tier 2 Residents
  • 2475 Tier 3 Residents
  • 2640 Tier 4 Residents (executives)
  • 7340 Total Residents


Adding the additional houses on the outskirts will increase that significantly.

Phase 1:

  • Build a road around the center to accomodate the monument (12 x 16). You will want at least 29 squares from including the road on each side of the monument space.
  • Build the worker houses, town centers, and roads according to the Phase 1 layout.
  • Upgrade buildings by working your way out from in.
  • Place public and service buildings as they become available.
  • When the monument becomes available, you will need to place a depot somewhere on the path. Unlike Venice (1404) the monument workers will retrieve materials from a depot within its range. Almost anywhere on the outer perimeter will be in range.


Phase 2:

  • Once the monument has been constructed, destroy the public buildings that have been made redundant by the monument (concert halls, town centers, and congress).
  • Destroy the roads removed from the Phase 2 layout.
  • Place houses in the empty areas.
  • Upgrade as desired.

This symmetrical layout providing your city some avenues is planned to give you extra space for houses from demolishing after the monument is built and fully functional.

Any build order can be used, better start it from positioning the whole layout alongside the island's coastline. Mind the total length and width respectively.

The number of houses the layout shows on plan equals to 280, while demolishing brings you extra 84 houses with a total of 364 (without population enhancements) that should fit ok in most islands except small islands.

Demolishing and it's results in houses are shown in blue numbers on the layout along with the comment "DEL" in the appropriate building names.

Roads are in grey colour while some empty spaces shown as white spaces should not be covered by anything until filled with residences and roads after demolishing.

Try & Enjoy!

Detailed Description

This layout offers 100% security against fire, crime, and disease. Because it is designed for maximum number of residents after Phase 1, the destructible buildings are positioned unusually to ensure that road space is at a minimum after the monument is built.

This layout is good for situational plays but requires a large island for building. Based on island size you will most likely have depots already positioned to allow road construction for areas not covered by the original town centers. If not, you may place and destroy them after use, or if you're not playing with refundable building costs, you may want to consider strategic depot placements.

After Phase 2, there is room for (without population enhancements) 394 residences, composed of at least:

  • 632 Tier 1 Residents (workers)
  • 1890 Tier 2 Residents
  • 2850 Tier 3 Residents
  • 3000 Tier 4 Residents (executives)
  • 8372 Total Residents


The garbage compacters are optional, and if removed will increase the potential population.

Phase 1:

  • Build a road around the center to accomodate the monument (18 x 13). You will want at least 32 squares from including the road on each side of the monument space.
  • Build the worker houses, town centers, and roads according to the Phase 1 layout.
  • Upgrade buildings surrounding the compacters first, and then work your way out from in.
  • Place public and service buildings as they become available.
  • When the monument becomes available, you will need to place a depot somewhere on the path. Unlike Venice (1404) the monument workers will retrieve materials from a depot within its range. I prefer to place the depot on either the north or south between the police station and the resident building.


Phase 2:

  • Once the monument has been constructed, destroy the public buildings that have been made redundant by the monument (casinos, town centers, and financial centers).
  • Destroy the roads removed from the Phase 2 layout.
  • Place houses in the empty areas.
  • Upgrade as desired.

Detailed Description

A layout design to maximize efficiency of building in term of coverage and number. Four security buildings have a bigger influence area than the monument. But little circles fit badly in bigger one. I decided to use 5 buildings of each layout in circle. A bit of trigo to find a good radius, an other bit of trigo to determine the coordinates, a bit of mind game to layout houses and ring city was borne.

97.5% fire station coverage, 97.5% hospital coverage, 98.5% police coverage and 95.5% information coverage.

Fully grown this settlement has: 656+1980+2950+3120=8706 inhabitants.

Detailed Description

Forget aesthetics, double roads, and unneeded buildings. I stuffed this layout with as many residences as possible, then deleted roads and shifted rows to add even more. After that, Emergency and Information buildings fell almost flawlessly into place. Not 100% emergency coverage, but the buildings are placed so you can easily add the required buildings on the outside in the event that a disaster does occur. The outside outlining road is a must so keep that in mind when making space for this city.

474 residences, 490 if you remove the Information buildings. Population is 760 + 2280 + 3375 + 3680.

Seed

After heavy usage, this is the easiest build route I came up with. Depot locations are just suggested here so that the outside road is complete. Vaguely resembling a Fan or Propeller, I usually start with the either the left or right blade and completely max out the that city center's capacity. By then, I usually have enough population to get me to tier 2 residents. After that, I move counterclockwise. Because this is such a big city, it has far more population than you'll need to unlock all the buildings for a certain tier, so manual growth control is recommended. Also, to see if it will fit on an island, the left and right city centers are exactly 10 houses apart and will completely cover the post-monument city's width.

Anyways, I hope you find this useful, I do this build even if I don't intend to build a monument as it gives very nice money.

Detailed Description

This is one of the smoothest transitions from non-monument to monument stage of the game, and it requires almost no demolitons. Very simple and easy to memorize. Also the layout is designed to use minimun amount of public buildings in order to save upkeep. Add/replace emergency buildings as required in the specified spots or outside layout.

Stage1

Build standard round housing block, but leave space for public buildings. Only one horizontal road needed.

Stage 2

Expand to the side, the construction area of the City Centre intersects by 1 square (at the road). The second Financial Center is optional. The Casinos should be on the "outer" side and the Ministries on the "inside". Remove a bit of road next to City centre to make room for FC, but connect road on the outside. Add the third Casino in the middle if you like.

Stage 3

Found the Corporate Headquarters in the middle and fill the remaining space with Worker houses. Leave 3 spots for emergency structures (5x6 box). Put the 3rd Ministry in the middle above HQ.

Finale

Remove both financial centres and restore roads, leaving behind 2 6x6 free squares for emergency structures, fill in the rest of the housing. I personally keep the 5 emergency spots unoccupied, and only add emergency structures as needed (in the emergencies). The layout has a good coverage of Information, switch the Ministry to extra Living Space if you like. Try avoiding ascension to Executives on the outer sides, since the houses will devolve after removing the Financial centers.

Bounding Box Area = 99 x 95. Total 610 residences. 976 workers + 2940 employees + 4400 engineers + 4640 tycoons = 12,956 population

Efficient and funny looking, enjoy.

Detailed Description

An aesthetic city, made in two parts.

1st part :

Start to build the little square which you can see in the bottom left-hand corner.

This place will be a landmark for you to build the rest of the city.

Once you've done it, you can continue to expand your roads and houses.

2nd part :

When your city is built, you can begin to place your monument, then remove all the red buildings.

The monument will provide all the basic needs for all your population.

You will have to accomodate some roads, nothing really hard.

This settlement provides 333 Houses, it means :

  • 536 Workers.
  • 1605 Employees.
  • 2400 Engineers.
  • 2520 Executives.


So, you will have a full population of 7061 Residents.

(Without the +12% living place)

  • 100% Police coverage.
  • 100% Fire station coverage.
  • 99% Hospital coverage. (Due to 4 houses not covered)

City works best with Waste compactors(Tycoon) implemented.|

These make your Ecobalance buildings more efective.

Thermal Power Stations produces enough electricity to support all city buildings

Educational network must be set to Better Living channel. It gives you 1400+ executives

You should always keep these warehouse items in your City Island.. ( also you need 1250 geniuses to put 6 items in warehouse)

Fire StationHospitalPolice Station +30% influence radius

Public buildings power reduction -40% Monuments need lots of power

Public buildings upkeep reduction -40% Lower upkeep means more income :D

Remember that your Ark item slots can be used for better things.

Replace basic Roads with best option possible.

Try to keep your Ecobalance on your City Island +300(+500 if u can)

Ecobalance gives you more Satisfaction(taxes) Ecobalance

Thats why Waste_Compactor are so usefull here..

These will possibly make your ecobalance neutral, then you just need to use eco building Ozone Maker Station to make it positive. If you have a spare River slot use River Sewage Treatment Plant.
