Building Improvements
The Available Constructions panel is simple to use: Click on a building or unit option to have it
placed in the Construction queue. As you hover with the mouse point over each option, a tooltip
explains the benefits of each one as well as its construction cost. There are several different
construction options:
 City Improvements are built inside your city center and do not require any specific
additional space or placement. Their only limit is their Upkeep cost which your empire
must pay; otherwise, you face bankruptcy.
 Regional expansions are placed directly on the 3D map when selected. As your region can
be large, you may have to zoom out to locate the semi-transparent “ghost” representation
of the location:
o Extractors allow you to exploit and accumulate Strategic and Luxury Resources.
They can only be built on existing (and revealed) Resource deposits.
o Watchtowers increase your range of vision, and can only be built on specific
Watchtower Foundations.
o Districts allow you to expand your city by adding another city tile, which in turn
adds additional surrounding fields to your FIDSI generation. This lets you cover a
larger part of the region with your city tiles. Please note that if a District (the city
center is also considered as a district) becomes surrounded by 4 other District
tiles, its efficiency is greatly increased. Each additional District will generate
Disapproval from expansion, however.
 Military Units are found in the Constructions panel as well, listed as Unit Designs created
by you (see Military Screen) or available by default. Units equipped with powerful items
may require a large number of Strategic Resources to build. Be sure to collect them
beforehand.
