and here will come crazy layouts to max efficiency also if you can depend on trade you can go for crazy efficiency ,been in fellowship or not also is a limiting factor. but this type of game are for people who like the mental challenge to try to get the best out of their situation
for a newbie re arranging buildings around is a challenge even when you have a new expansion at hand since many time you will have to move buildings 3x3 or bigger
last time i re arrange everything took me 3hours to figure out how can i make some space and move building around to create the new layout..
but that the magic of the game and thats why we are here
Yup, I work the market a lot I only run boosted manus (3 planks, 2 silk, 3 dust), and yup, that is why buildings shift and grow so much hehe. Wait and see the races, it will be fun. Make sure to pre-allocate decent room in your city for them, it will help you (at least 10-12 5x5s) It will make your life easier.
I managed a 3x4 grid of 5by5s with dwarves, and fairies (tight.) I will have 4x4 worth of five by fives (so, 16 x 20 = 320 tiles), and it should suffice even for chapter XV based on my observations.
