First an overview of the whole town:
Then insides:
My hospital (usually that is all they have for hospitals when I see it on tv ) as well as an elder house or a meeting house :
The kitchen, Tavern and docks.. They send all kinds of stuff up and down the river to trade with neighboring towns..
Most of my crafting zones:
The bridge/gatehouse to the froggie side.. This was cut off after they decided to kill two townies.. revenge will soon find it's way to the froggies.. and the brownies..
Log roads:
While you can just edit the xml to do log roads.. You can do it in an unmodded game as well.
Make a trench where you want the road, fill it with water, Order them to build bridges all along it. When they finish pause the game and remove all the water from under the bridges and raise the land back up to where you want it.
All bridges on land were done this way in this build.
You always make really wooden towns.
