Architect's Corner #14 - Agora & Mill

πŸ›οΈ Greetings Builders! πŸ›οΈ

[hr][/hr]
Welcome to the next part of our "Architect's Corner" series, in which we tell you all about the buildings you will have at your disposal as a ruler of an ancient Greek Polis. Discover interesting tips and tricks, learn how to effectively plan the development of your city, and check out how many useful structures you can raise - all this to the glory of a great ruler, such as yourself! πŸ‘‘



[h3]...and talk to the community and developers about the game![/h3]



[h2]No city can do without them[/h2]
[hr][/hr]
Looks like Architect's Corner is filled with heated conversations, rustling paper, and the clatter of drafting instruments. No wonder! Today, he faces a truly challenging job of designing two buildings that are crucial to the prosperity and well-being of your city 🧐 The task of the first one is to collect and distribute wealth among the inhabitants of your Polis, while the other one helps keep their bellies full and chase away the hunger.

Both buildings are necessary for your empire to develop and grow stronger. Although seemingly very different from each other, they share several common features... Without a further ado, we present...


[h2]The very heart of your city πŸ’“ [/h2]
[hr][/hr]
The Agora is the very first building to appear in your city. The cool thing is that it evolves along with your Polis - wile looking quite inconspicuous and modest at first, over time it will transform into a wonderful, rich structure surrounded by a beautiful colonnade! πŸ› To achieve this, you must meet many important conditions... but this is the whole other story.

What are the main functions of Agora? Well, many calls this place the very heart of the city. The area around the Agora is always crowded with your subjects who want to replenish their supplies, transport some goods, or just pass by and go about their business. Although being the center of the settlement is a very important role, Agora was created for another crucial purpose. Ok, everyone! Grab your baskets, bags and pouches - it's time to browse some wares πŸ“¦





As a wise ruler, you must know, that Agora serves as a kind of warehouse-marketplace, full of all kinds of goods. Whenever your people's pantries are empty, or when they need other important items, you can be sure that they will direct their steps right to the Agora 🦢 Porters are constantly delivering more and more goods here, filling in the gaps, so that their fellow citizens can enjoy undisturbed access to a variety of things that they need in their everyday life. Whether it's clothes, food, tools or other wares, a huge part of them can be found right in this place. What an efficient system!

In the later stages of the game, when your city will stretch to the horizon, some of the Agora's responsibilities will be taken over by Marketplaces. It just would be difficult for residents of more distant residential zones to make long marches to the Agora to grab their goods. Nevertheless, it is the Agora that will always remain the center point of your city πŸ‘‡ and will be counted among the most beautiful, glorious buildings under your control. We like to think of it as one of the most practical and well-thought-out systems in all of Ancient Greece!


[h2]Flour as an essential ingredient πŸ₯–[/h2]
[hr][/hr]
The agricultural revolution, especially the ability to grow grain, completely changed humanity. The cessation of the nomadic lifestyle meant not only better reproductive conditions, but also technological development. One of the effects of such development is the Mill - an indispensable element in grain cultivation and processing. It is thanks to this unique building that it is possible to produce flour, which became the basis of the diet of many ancient cultures. But how does actually an ancient Greek Mill work? And how can it contribute to the task of feeding your population? Let's take a look!





It all starts with the grain we mentioned above. Without it, valuable flour could not be produced! Your farmers spend long hours in the field to sow, tend and ultimately harvest this valuable resource. The ripe grain then goes to the Mill, where experienced millers begin their work 🀲 This is where the grains are ground into fine, pure flour. To do so, your Mill workers pour them onto a special stone table and then grind them using a huge, heavy, rotating stone. As you can see, such work requires patience and physical strength, but... it's definitely worth it!

White flour is an essential ingredient in all baked goods made in your city, and it is used by such places as Bread Bakery or Tiganites Bakery. It is thanks to them that fragrant, filling bread reaches the tables of your subjects 😜🍞 Bon appétit!


In the following parts of the series, we will return with descriptions of many other cool structures that will ensure the safety, well-being, and development of your city. We hope that the buildings presented today will find their place among the streets of your Polis, and that they will contribute to the growth of your magnificent empire! πŸ˜€ As always - thank you and stay tuned!

Your city can reach to the horizon and become a trade, military, or manufacturing power. Will your population number in the tens, hundreds, or... thousands of loyal subjects? Will you succeed in building the magnificent Theater? Will you resist hostile aggression and handle random events wisely? These and many other questions are waiting to be answered!
