Let SOE's SWG drown, since they wont accept that they have failed.

To make a player city, you first must obtain a city hall deed from an architect or his vendor. You must also have the novice polotician skill as a minimum so you can actually place the city hall. When you decide to make a city, it would be wise to find a nice flat open area, with lots of room so people will be able to place their houses, you can even plan out streets and such if you want it to look nice when it is bigger. Once you have found your area, get ten other people, (i dont know if the mayor counts in population LMAO, just ask someone else about that little detail) take them to the location you have chosen, and place the city hall. Before you do this, make sure that everyone has a house deed, any size, to place around the city hall. After you place the city hall, you have 24 hours to get 10 people declared within the city limits or the city hall will be destroyed. Have your friends place houses and declare residence in them (in the structure management terminal, press the declare residence button). Your city will have no nice things for the moment, but with more people and more skills for your polotician profession, you will be able to place structures such as the shuttleport, cantina, cloning facility, and gardens.Your city will be up and running forever as long as you pay all the various fees asscociated with it, and keep at least ten people declared at all times.

The best house for a safe house? I dont know what exactly you would expect, so a tatooine house has light brown colored walls and ugly brown doors throughout, a naboo house has pink wallpaper and red carpets, corellian houses and generic houses are the same on the inside, white or gray colors but corellian can sometimes be black on the outside. And of course you will want furniture to give it the proper theme.

Why cant citys have roads? I have absolutley no idea why SOE didnt allow architects the ability to make road segments, or make mayors able to place roads for free. Basically you cant change the appearance of the ground in any way. The most you can do is have houses facing each other in rows or something, streetlights are a nice addition and come in many varities to create the illusion of allies in the backs of houses, or well lit pathways. Be creative with the way you tell people to place their houses, place them in a square around a garden, have fountains in the middle of the street, place statues in front of the city hall. You can make your city look really nice looking , it may even attract more people that way, or it can look like a jumble of houses mindlessly stuck together on a hilly piece of land with no apparent asthetic qualities. One other way to get people to come to your city is to put in near an importan POI, when you have your shuttleport, you will generate a very significant income from this.
