Step 1: Choosing a Suitable Location

• Villas require access to water sources for fishing.
• Ensure proximity to fertile land for date farming.
• Copper will be needed later, so plan for trade or nearby deposits.
• Avoid pollution-heavy zones, as these affect citizen health and development.

---

Step 2: Layout for Villas

• A 6×4 block layout provides 24 Villa homes.
• This setup ensures optimal resource distribution and allows for easy expansion.
• Expandable design:
  • You can add two more houses on the edges to reach 26 homes.
  • Additional housing requires increased food production.

Step 3: Setting Up Food Production

• Fishing Piers:
  • Each pier produces 13.5 fish per year.
  • Two piers are needed to meet the demand of 24 houses, with a small surplus.
• Date Farms:
  • With three workers, a date farm produces 27 dates per year.
  • This covers the entire Villa demand.
• Expansion Considerations:
  • Place farms and fishing piers near expansion areas.
  • Additional farms or piers can support new housing districts.

Step 4: Setting Up Distribution

• Assign Distributors to transport food to the Villa district.
• Copy existing distribution paths to ensure uniform coverage.
• Ensure adequate storage space for food surpluses.

Step 5: Managing Pollution & City Services

• Pollution Issues:
  • Certain buildings cause pollution, affecting citizen health.
  • Move pollution sources further away or balance placement.
• Essential Services:
  • City Watch: To reduce crime levels.
  • Healers: Maintain citizen health.
• Expansion Note:
  • Add more service buildings as the district grows.

Step 6: Economic Considerations & Trade

• Monitor finances: A large population increases expenses.
• Trade excess goods:
  • Exporting Dates is a profitable early-game strategy.
  • Enable trade routes as soon as they become available.
• Crime & Workforce Management:
  • Enable crime prevention once population is stable.
  • Expand city services as demand increases.

Final Thoughts
