Obelisks
Obelisks symbolize the rays of the sun, and great deeds
and achievements are commemorated on the sides of
the monument.
Obelisks are made from a large amount of granite, and
all the granite needed for the Obelisk must be stored in
the city’s Storage Yards before you can place the mon-
ument.
Move the cursor over the land to pick a location for
the Obelisk. If you see a green footprint of the mon-
ument, you can place the obelisk.
After you pick a location for the Obelisk, the gran-
ite is put into place. Then, carpenters from the
Carpenters’ Guild build scaffolding around the
monument, and stonemasons come to the
monument to carve intricate designs into it.
You do not need the services of peasants to
build an Obelisk.
