Forge of empires optimal layout4/16/2024 In order to address which diagonal road directions should be the primary one again need to consider how we can connect stuff with minimal roads. Ideally, we want to use the minimum number of squares of road possible to connect all the structures in our city that need to be connected to roads. Laying things out in a grid pattern will generally connect structures up at more points then necessary, meaning you are using more roads then needed. You do need at least one street in the other diagonal direction from the one you primarily use in order to connect up all the other streets, but more then one seems unnecessary and unhelpful. I see no real benefit to having streets running in both diagonal directions. However, the strategy I wanted to discuss here is whether it is better to build roads that generally run northeast-southwest, better to build roads that generally run northwest-southeast, or whether it doesn't matter at all and you should just build in a larger grid pattern or the equivalent.įirst off I'll address the grid pattern. Another common strategy is to try to make neat lines of structures so the roads don't have to bend back and forth or have lots of offshoots. Also making sure that you have two rows of structures in between roads rather then one. For example, making sure that there are structures requiring a road on both ides of a road, and at the end of it as well, if possible. As such, most people try to minimize the amount of roads as much as possible. We need them to connect everything to City hall, but they take up valuable real estate that, even if we wanted more happiness, could be better used by cultural buildings, or even decorations. Roads are often viewed as a necessary evil.
