Putting up a Building
If all conditions are fulfilled, the view will change: All
possible construction sites will be marked blue in the main
view and in the mini map. Now move the mouse pointer to
one of the blue sites. An outline of the new building will be
displayed. Place the building using the left mouse button
and then select ‘build’. The money will be deducted and the
construction site will soon be filled with life. Once the
construction time elapses, your sparkling new building is
ready for use – and you can decide whether you would like
to construct another building or do business as usual.
Construction Workers
There are about five construction teams in each city. If all of them are busy, the construction of
your next building will have to wait – you will be informed as soon as you select one of the
buildings from the menu.
Building Regulations
The construction of a building is a highly bureaucratic affair, and there are some regulations to
abide by:
No Uncontrolled Expansion!
The municipality will ensure that people don’t build their houses all over town. Certain areas will
be assigned to you, so don’t be surprised if you don’t find a construction site even though there
is enough space available.
Public Interest Has Top Priority
In general, businesses can be built inside the city walls, but if there are few construction sites
remaining, residential buildings have priority and you might have to build your business outside
the city walls.
Zero Tolerance
When building trading offices, you will have to build them where the city wants them to be. You
simply have no choice.
