So you construct one therater (for example)

(this buildings cost wood, brick and stone to build and mantain) Now you make equite buildings, but they riot if theres no fun buildings near them, like theaters. So you see a place where you can gather stone, so you place a quarry there. So now you want to expand a little, so you need to make a forum (that needs to get stone) 1 farm and 1 buther shop, so the insulaes dont riot (it obviously needs wood and brick to be constructed and mantained) Now you need two insulaes because you need 2 workers. Brick building (needs wood and water, the water thing its easy to gather, in principle) 1 insula for workers for one of the buildings (this building needs wood and bricks to be constructed and mantained) But with the things you can only put one or two, its rather difficult, even when you update them with the school to gather more materials. Its not a problem with things like bricks or (relatively) wood. You need x of stone to construct AND to conserve your buildings, so if you have a lot of buildings, you get out pretty fast of stone. I dont know if its problems with the first maps, but yeah, the mines are what concerns me.
