You can construct residential, social, commercial, and production buildings in open areas. Construction consists of two stages:
  1. The building is taken from the store and placed on the map. At this point, construction commences (you’ll need workers and gold).
  2. When the building is complete, you need to press on it (sometimes also spend resources, goods, or tools). After that the building is considered complete, and starts to function. People will start living in houses, production buildings will start working, and so on.
You can move buildings across your city.
Some buildings (residential, commercial, production, and some decorative ones) can be sold to free up building space.
