Caesar3 Augustus Ultimate Handbook

hile buildings cover most of the physical space of any city, the people who live and work within these buildings, and who you can see scurrying about the streets, are the life and soul of a city. In a thriving city, you'll see all kinds of different types of people wandering around , from schoolchildren to leisurely patricians and busy workers.

When there are no people in a city, it looks dead – and it really is dead. People give life to a city. When you first start to build a new city somewhere, you start by placing some buildings or housing area; it is only when you see people moving in and setting about their lives that you know the city is beginning to work. For this reason, as you construct more buildings, be sure to keep a fresh supply of people coming into your city, to provide workers to operate those new buildings.

Clearly, these people are absolutely crucial to the success of your city. You would do well to look after them. And they love to talk. I humbly suggest that you talk to them regularly (by right-clicking on them); they often have important messages about the state of a city.
