Hi all,
I've been playing this great game for a month now and I'm thouroughly hooked! I'm 20 years into On(Heliopolis) with 5,000 people and 1 and 1/2 Mastabas done. Thanks to the great info in this forum, I was able to get this far on my first try.
My question is this: How do immigrants choose their homes? I thought their choice was preordained by the order that you built the houses. For example, if I build two houses in block A, two houses in block B, then finish block A, they'll move into the block B houses before filling up block A, even if it's closer to the entry point.
This strategy helped me populate the island city of On. But then I saw several immigrants, who seemed to be headed for houses across the map, make sharp turns to fill vacancies I had just created.
I couldn't find any threads on the subject. I'd love to hear your ideas.
