American suburbia looking town, don't plan your towns, put each building on the best current spot and don't try to reorganize for a more organic look. Some efficient placing should be done but don't base all your town trying to optimize every inch

Build one medieval block at a time, as needed. Don't choose what you'll put there until you need it, make the block shapes random and of different sizes, and as close as possible. Build new buildings, that aren't raw material collection, as close as possible to your mass of pre-existing buildings. It won't just look better, it will operate better because people won't have to traverse the whole region to get from home to work. Think of it like you're building a rainforest as opposed to an auto factory. Or another method, lay out all your streets first and choose their uses later.

It’s not something everyone has the mind or knack for. Plain and simple. Just letting it go organically will likely provide you the “best looking” town when you can’t plan a town’s layout in a deliberate way instead. I’m not really great at it if I try to do it, have gotten better over a few runs of ML, but usually, it just looks best when I place things as needed, when needed, and where needed, as opposed to trying to plan everything out 100%.

johnhenryshamor

Lol yes why? Because i deforested it?


fryxharry

Because the settlement structure looks like that of an american suburb.
