This adventure was fun and challenging, especially on Olympian. The city seems to reach its sprite limit because of GOATS! I hate them!
Back to the topic, there are three Super housing blocks I tried to modify and improve. All of them work in one agora service.
1. The first one is the kite block that is derived from Senseisan's version. I modified the block a bit to get 86 houses. The citizen's movements can hurt eyes @@
2. The second one with a long shape is modified from Plebus' Trojan War Block. It's the easiest to build. I reach 83 houses with this one. Simple and Aesthetic.
3. I made myself the last one. It's the square shape with a little bit tricky. I got 84 houses for the first try that I posted the layout in forum's favorite housing blocks thread. The save has 88 houses version. There is also a barebone housing block with 89 houses next to it. If you don't like tax or don't care about hygiene, you can get 90 houses. There's a restriction on the direction. So the block only works with the exactly southeast direction in the save. There's also a version for northeast direction in the save. Another caveat is that the block needs additional maintenance in the back
The housing blocks used some tricks that are fountain/infirmary trick and the agora backdoor trick.
Bonus: There is also an Elite housing block that is worth a look. 40 elite houses in one grand agora service. Two column rows on the sides can be replaced with hedge mazes to reduce the number of monuments in the middle. It's not the fastest way to build full 20 horse companies, but it's interesting and efficient. |

How Nice Your Housing Block, i never know that will work with so many houses,,
for Goat, you can treat them in one spot, goat or other breed animal only walk on medow, 1st u must find the edge of the medow, then use wall to before placing the goat, make sure there no way for goat to go, then they will stay in one spot its work with other breed animal,, |

Hi. Could you pls explain, how your fountain workers go so far? You have 21 building on a lane and a worker goes through all of it, but in my game he passes only 10 out of 21 houses and then just go back. Whats a problem may it be? Game version? Non license? |

Hi Loajina. I'm glad that you're interested in my building block. If you're not familiar with walkers, there is a page on this forum that explains pretty much of it here: http://zeus.heavengames.com/units/index.shtml
You can find a trick on that page to extend the distance that fountain and infirmary walkers can walk. Normally, those walkers can only walk 27 tiles, but with that trick, the distance is infinite as long as it makes a loop. You could play around and practice to allocate the buildings sometimes as it involves in some specific directions.
Here is the glyphy of this housing block (post #181): http://caesar3.heavengames.com/cgi-bin/caeforumscgi/display.cgi?action=st&fn=12&tn=320&f=12,,,365&st=150
FYI, My building blocks are not the best. I found out a save file from a user years ago had like 180 houses in an agora service block. That's insane.
Edit: Oh, I see that you found out the 180 houses save yourself.[Edited on 10/28/19 @ 04:04 AM]
