To construct a building
1. Select a unit to construct the building you want.
(For example, select a villager if you want to build
a House.)
2. In the
Command panel, click the building type that
you want to construct.
3. Place your pointer where you want your building on
the map and click. (Note that if the building turns red
when you try to place it, then it cannot be built on
that terrain and you should try another location.)
Increasing Your Population
Each civilization has a population limit that applies to
soldiers, villagers, and other such units. Before adding any
new units and increasing your population, you must build
additional Houses to support that increase.
Gathering Coin
You must find a silver or gold
mine before gathering Coin.
When you find a mine, select
a villager (or villagers) and
right-click the mine to gather
the Coin.
Constructing Buildings
A Town Center without
buildings doesn’t do much
for your economy. That said,
you can’t construct a building
without using resources—usually Wood, Coin,
or a combination of the two. So, you must first build
your stockpiles of Wood and Coin before you can
construct any buildings.
Along with Houses for your villagers, your Town Center
can have Mills to stockpile Food, Stables to train cavalry,
Markets to conduct trade, and other structures that can
help you advance your civilization.
As you advance your civilization through the Ages and as
your Home City increases in level, the types and number
of buildings available to you also increases.
