Caesar3 Augustus Ultimate Handbook

ome's innovative distribution system for fresh drinking water is admired and copied throughout the civilized world. The only building in your city that actually needs water to function is the bathhouse. People can survive by drawing water directly from nearby lakes and rivers. They will never build very nice homes, though, unless you supply clean drinking water to the city's nicer neighborhoods.

All water-related buildings and structures are unique in that, even where they require labor, they do not need road access. The water protects them from fire, and they are built well enough that they will not collapse due to a lack of engineering maintenance. Note that the bathhouse, although it uses water, is not a water dispenser, and absolutely needs road access, and prefect and engineer maintenance.
