General Information
In addition to being used in the production of several items (Bread, Beer, Pottery, Hide Coats), water is critical to overall city health and growth.
Every dwelling in a city has a regular water requirement. This requirement is met via wells that are located within range of the dwelling. Depending on the map type being played and the area of construction, the volume of water produced and the replenishment rate can vary significantly. Good water resource planning is a critical part of city layout.
Water is also extremely important for the overall health of your city. Water is the only method for extinguishing burning buildings. Building fires are not a rare occurrence so it is important to have adequate wells to facilitate fire fighting.
It is also important that water sources are not located to far away or villagers may not get the water delivered on time to fight the fire. Building fires can not only damage or destroy the building where the fire starts, it can easily and quickly spread to adjacent structures.
