Ave citizens, it's time to discover the treasures that our land has to offer and how to obtain them for the benefit of our glorious republic. Wise management of natural resources is key to success and prosperity.
Animal Farms
In the Animal Farms, we breed a variety of livestock to supply our food needs and more. From pigs and chickens to cows, these farms are the source of various essential products for our population. By caring for our animals, we obtain food such as meat, milk, and eggs.
Sawmills
Sawmills are the heart of our lumber industry. Here, we transform sturdy trees into wood, providing the raw material necessary for construction and other projects throughout Citadelum. To benefit from them, we will find forests scattered across the map where, by placing our sawmills nearby, our lumberjacks can efficiently collect and deposit the gathered wood.
Quarries
In the Quarries, we extract stone and iron. These resources are crucial for building solid structures and manufacturing weapons and tools for our defense and progress. On the map, we will see natural deposits of stone and iron where, similarly to the sawmills, we should place our quarries so that miners can deposit the collected material.
Thanks to the tireless work of our lumberjacks and miners who collect all this material in our city, you will be able to create epic buildings, result of our ingenuity and vision. From insulas adorned with intricate decorations to majestic temples dedicated to our gods, our architectural creations serve as inspiration and grandeur of our population. Through the utilization of our natural resources, we can erect monuments that endure the passage of time and inspire the next generations of citizens to come.
Wells, watermills and aqueducts
You must take advantage of the natural reserves in your surroundings, whether they are underground water deposits or lakes and rivers, to extract the source of life. Wells and watermills are our vital source of water and irrigation for our lands, maintaining them in good condition is crucial to ensuring a water supply for our population or crops. Many buildings in Citadelum will require access to water, so as managers, we must ensure that water reaches most locations in our city. To do this, we must create an intricate network of aqueducts that start from the watermills.
Mills
Mills are the agricultural production centers, where we seed and harvest crops. Our farmers work into keeping the crops healthy and strong. From wheat, which will later be used to make bread, flax for making clothes, to a variety of vegetables like cabbages, fruits like grapes for wonderful wine, and medicinal plants. Through meticulous cultivation Roman techniques and farming practices, we not only ensure an ample food supply for our citizens, but also cultivate produce for trade and export.
Docks
Our Docks are gateways to the riches of the sea and rivers. Here, we fish a variety of fish that provide fresh food for trade or the consumption. In order to place them, you will need to expand your city until you reach a water area, because you will not be able to place it on dry land.
Let's not forget that once all the food goods have been extracted, they will be stored and distributed to our local markets where citizens will be able to enjoy fresh produce of the highest quality. Another of the main uses is to be able to refine the raw materials for later use. We have already mentioned a few of them above, but we will leave this topic for another devlog, the production chain. As we supply the population with a greater quantity of goods, the happiness of our citizens will improve and with it will increase the prestige of our city.
With intelligent management and diligent work, we can make the most of the natural resources of Citadelum to ensure our growth and prosperity! Let's unite and make our city an unstoppable power. The abundance of materials available makes it a demanding management experience with a high level of detail that guarantees fun for all types of players who love the genre.
