Almost every set of homes are different than the next. Playing again also reminded me how frustrating trying to find the correct buildings in the button menu.
Still a fun game, but I am so rusty. Every time my population hit above 120, I would hit a starvation death spiral. I'm obviously doing something wrong, most likely with my crop fields. I'm probably going to start over this afternoon, after looking at more tips and hints to refresh my memory.

I'd always keep a Gatherers Hut in each forestry circle, and toggle that amount of workers as needed. Trying to get cute early with the food supply risked a supply interruption, and it's not like the game requires a varied diet for health - always good to have those nuts & berries in reserve! The more annoying part for me was to remember to bring housing supply online slowly & consistently... never fun when you realize that you have a glut of people who went through childbearing age without making babies because they were still living with the parents.
