City development | Cities Heroes VII Guide

City development is the key aspect of each game. It allows you to recruit new units, upgrade the old ones and use spells. Below you will find a list of most basic advices related to optimizing the development of your capitol.

In first order you should develop the buildings that generate gold: Town Hall, City Hall, Capitol. This will allow you to generate dozens of thousands of gold during few weeks.

Marketplace and Hall of Heroes should be one of the first buildings you build. Thanks to them you will gain additional heroes used for exploring the map and gathering resources, and you will be able to trade resources you don't need for more needed ones.

Cities of each faction have different maximum development level. It all depends on the number of buildings you can construct in them.

Check which special resources you will require most often and keep attention to them when exploring the game world.

First focus on constructing all buildings related to unit recruitment. Then you can start upgrading them. The difference between the basic and upgraded unit is too small to invest in them at the start of the game.

Consider whether your hero will be using spells. If not, then don't waste your resources and time on building next levels of Mage Guild. The only exception is when the Mage Guild is required to build another building.

Don't build Walls, Guard Towers and other buildings responsible for city's defenses during the first week of the game. Before the enemies will develop and attack you, at least few dozens of days will pass. You can use that time to upgrade your economy and army.

Check if it is possible to obtain the Tears of Asha on the map on which you are playing (If yes, there are Obelisks to be found on the map, visiting which will uncover new fragments of the treasure map). If yes, try to find it as quickly as possible and build the special building in your capitol. It will be a great help to your army.
