You will have the best luck with those three commands if you use them
in a populated area, i.e. a city or a town.  The results of trying to find
menial labor or scare up some recruits in the Sallen Swamp or the Resh
Wastes may not be so good.

The market/tower thing was just a heuristic I used to decide what regions
to change into cities.  If you build a new tower somewhere, that place
doesn't automatically become a town.  In the future I'd like to use the
scheme where cities and towns are interior features of a province.  But
since I don't want to undertake such a project at the moment, and since
I want some cities and towns in the map for city- and town-like things to
happen in, I just changed some of the current provinces into city or town
regions.

A city is bigger than a town.
