With the possibility of new developments, new questions arise, of course. I have just added a new extension and made a series of modifications to my city to allow for what is about to happen next. This is the layout of my city at the moment. There are no new buildings added - just a series of building upgrades with no consequences for the space, and a new extension. Part of the buildings, however, have been moved so that I can further develop my city:
There are three main issues I need to address, involving placement of new buildings for which I have left the space on top and the right side.
1. Soon I will have researched Silk Manufactory, at which moment I am planning to build five of them, just like I did with the Planks Manufactory. I have no idea whether I'll be needing as many as that, but probably I will so that's my plan right now. And I'm also going to seriously upgrade them so that I can enjoy an affluent production - just like I do with the Planks Manufactories. I'm not sure is the right path though, and I wonder if I can support this development simply by upgrading the residences even further. I haven't forgotten the necessity for a matching culture level, and I think I need to replace a couple of culture buildings with superior ones.
2. My military advisor wants me to build a second armory for the next mission. I know I don't have to follow these mission so closely, but maybe a second armory will be necessary - right now I don't feel any pressure.
3. I was planning to build the Golden Abyss but I lack the runes and stuff, whereas the Tome of Secrets is ready to be placed. Somebody was saying that the Tome of Secrets makes more sense at this stage when I am supposed to be busy scouting, so maybe I should build it and leave the Golden Abyss for later in the game.
That's all for now. What do you think?
