At the end of Sep in the 5th year, the trade route to Itjtawy became available, which (along with Men-nefer) supplies the missing goods (as finished products) except for sandstone. It was time to finish most of the design, which was harder than I expected.
There is enough pottery and papyrus (at least 2500 from each city) and linen (4000 from Itjtawy, which can have 3 ships on the map at once), so the poorest houses will be fancy residences and Culture will be 70. There will be 2 mortuaries and 2 libraries (in the W and N blocks) and 3 schools (in the W, S, and E blocks).
I have two preferences that weren't important enough to make goals: no house is beside bare ground or bare (unplazaed) road, and certain buildings in a housing block are together (either touching or across the street): courthouse and tax collector, physician and dentist and mortuary, school and library, and bazaars. I had trouble designing the N block with those preferences, but eventually realized that a booth could be put where it would be difficult to plaza roads (with the shipyard and a brewery already built nearby).
The N and E blocks have 40-tile loop roads, smaller than the W and S blocks that have 44-tile loop roads. The N block has 14 fancy residences and the E block has 20 fancy residences, but that gives the city just over 7000 people, so one block will have 1 fewer fancy residence (to avoid having to build another bandstand). For Culture 70, 6968 people requires 5 dance stages (there will be 6), 8 music stages (2 in each block) and 14 juggle stages (5 in the N block and 3 in the others). While 5 breweries could supply enough beer, only 4 will be built, which means importing about 140 beer/year.
I have only estimated the workers needed, since I haven't decided how many towers to build and the fertility (and therefore the number) of meadow farms isn't known. Also, I don't know how long the mission will last, so can't guess how low the worker fraction is likely to fall. I hope there is significant unemployment (to allow the city to run longer before a worker shortage develops), which is why the population is well over the 6000 requirement.
