Wood is also important as it is used by your Citizens to construct buildings. As you explore,
look for trees, which provide wood. When you find a tree – or an entire forest – send in
Citizens to gather the wood. As with food, Citizens will chop as much wood as they can
carry and then deposit it at a drop-off site. Once a tree is all chopped up, Citizens automati-
cally move on to a new tree if one is nearby.

Creating Citizens
The more Citizens you have working, the faster you can stockpile resources or
accomplish other tasks like constructing buildings. You can create Citizens at a
Capital or at a Town Centre. Early in the game it is a good idea to keep produc-
ing new Citizens as often as your food supplies permit, because your civilisation
accomplish other tasks like constructing buildings. You can create Citizens at a
Capital or at a Town Centre. Early in the game it is a good idea to keep produc-
ing new Citizens as often as your food supplies permit, because your civilisation
will need many. For now, create an additional four Citizens for your civilisation.
Constructing Buildings
Construction is important for the growth of your civilisation and the job of constructing
buildings falls on your Citizens. When you order your Citizens to build something, you must
first choose a site for it. When you pick a site, a foundation is placed on the map and the
resources necessary for the building are deducted from your reserves. However, construction
of the building does not begin until at least one Citizen reaches the construction site.

Settlements
A Settlement is a drop-off point for every kind of resource. By building a
Settlement near a resource site you can increase the rate at which that resource is
gathered by your Citizens because they do not have to walk as far to deposit their
loads. Constructing a Settlement is also the first step in constructing Town

close to your Capital and then construct a Settlement next to it.

new Citizens appear at your Capital, put them to work!
