Ever try to pull a cart over unimproved land instead of down a road?īasically the use of gatehouses are not "cheats" and neither is the use of disconnected housing blocks. Roads were used to move carts of goods to the neighborhoods or markets. I don't think that ancient traders simply dropped off supplies at some remote industial block and market traders walked over unimproved land daily to get the goods for the housing areas. Most cities had at least a citidal which was an interior walled section within the city itself as the final defensive structure in case the outer walls were breached by attackers.Īnd the cities had roads that connected all parts of the city to the docks or trade centers which were usually located outside the walls of the city. Rome also had more than one series of walls. Ancient Syracuse for example had at least three different sections of the city seperated by walls. This was due to the fact that in many ancient cities there were several series of walls, not just one set of walls surrounding the outside of the city. In ancient times, cities were built with gatehouses scattered throughout the entire city. In my opinion this is the most historically correct design model for Roman cities. Well at the risk of getting everyone mad at me again, I have to say I rely on gatehouses to control my cities and I normally do not disconnect any parts of the cities I build. Under repressive systems (such as emperial Rome), populations are/were "well-regulated" and a person does as they are told or are punished accordingly.Ī Glorious Death Is Always Preferred To A Mediocre Life! It's a means of controlling you, er, your people (get back to your place, NOW!). With a moment's thought, you should get 10-12.īut more to the point, it's not cheating if you use gatehouses.
But I'll bet a round in the recovery room that you can name five of the nasty ones without blinking (he-he-he, pay up honestly).
You can't even name a single nice guy tyrant off the top of your collective heads without hours of research. You don't get to be one honestly! Do that and you will receive either an exclusive cruise package or a featured matinee at the coliseum (featuring my favorite host, Reggius Philibus).
