## Usage Patterns

Place Vigiles near residential areas to provide fire safety bonuses. The patrols help maintain public order and respond to fires. Consider placing specialists to enhance fire safety effects or reduce maintenance costs.

## Common Pitfalls

- Requires Liberti workforce for maintenance, not Plebeian workforce (unless using Divergent Factor specialist)
- Larger footprint than other amenity buildings (4x5 base)
