Your strategy is working so far. To complete the path around the new lake a bit more quickly, mark only the trees along the edge for cutting. You could build water pumps in the center lake and dump it into the New Rome lake. It won't be as efficient because it's mixed water. It's shocking how fast it hit 34% contaminated. I believe Castorea is the Latin name for beavers, could be a good name for a district.
Or build up some really shallow "towers" (like vertical pipes with levees) around 2 or so of the water sources and then an aqueduct to the new beaverome lake. First with floodgates, later with sluices. Open it up to one side with floodates, then you can quickly flush out the badwater, once its close to 0% contamination, you close the lake side and open the aqueduct side towards the new lake. That way you get to some uncontaminated fresh water relatively quickly. I now really want to play this map too. On easy though, I'm not insane :D
@XTJ7 Nice idea! You'll also see me do that in the following 2 episodes ;-) If you play the map, tell me how it's going and what approach you chose! I'm curious!
@@notjohnsmithgaming I had a feeling you might be doing that. Especially in hard mode there really aren't too many options and your water won't last long without a source :) You have my absolute respect for tackling this already difficult map on hard mode. Can't wait for the next episode!
I'm weeks behind watching this series. You asked for town center names. How about Pompond for the flooded center. It's a joke on the Roman city Pompei.
I was waiting to comment about the town center spot immediately being used for a storage site, but I wanted to see when you would notice it first ;)
Haha, yes. I facepalmed while editing ;-)
a small storage is a much cheaper alternative to a levy for platforms
I was going to comment the same. Best alternative for temporary use
@RichardKirman @micahlaughmiller7170 Yes, thanks. I hate the "not reachable" warnings though..

@brianmiller1077 Thanks for the tips/suggestions! You'll see me do that in the following 2 episodes :-)

@XTK7 Thanks a lot! :-) It really is the hardest map I've played so far. It's fun though! :-)

Nice one, thanks!
