Probably starting a new city so here's some screen shots of where I plan on leaving this one.

So I love this city and how far its come along, but I think i need to start a new one. As per usual with my builds, i can put together nice monuments, but the city itself starts to collapse under its own weight. I haven't really figured out the food economics and struggle a bit in that regard.

Population: 1078. Happiness at 91%.

A couple of lessons I need to learn for the next one:

  • Lay out residential areas better. It's frustrating to have your citizens absolutely refuse to move into available housing and instead build all new or move to a part of the city that they are not intended to be in.
  • Learn how to use beautification builds to support the above. I start off pretty strong then I peter out as my ambition pushes me to build other things.
  • Learn how taverns work. 3 taverns and yet my citizens still complain due to a lack of entertainment.
  • Learn how to produce enough food or learn how to make enough goods to trade for food for a large population

Any tips you all have for how to better produce food/trade for goods, please let me know.

I wanted to post this as I continue to progress on this town. None of my citizens are above a serf currently, but I'm getting to the point that I'm going to promote everyone and that's generally when my games fall apart. So here's an image before the fall!

The castle and walls are actually a large spiral with an "annex" for the healing house down near the Abbatial Church. The monastery which I posted the one island before stretches across three with a smaller farming annex over on the island on the right.

Very happy with this build thus far. if I can get the houses to reach tier 3 without the settlement crumbling I'll post more images for the settlement.

EDIT: I said "images" in the title but it's only one. False advertisement.

First of three islands that his monastery occupies

I've been playing Foundation for a few months and must say I am hooked. I've started and restarted multiple times and finally settled on a monastery that I like. I need to promote my villagers to commoner/citizen, but for now the serfs will do.

I'm working to expand to the third island on this lake and have a castle that is largely complete as well on this map. Can't wait to post the finished product.
