The BuildingsSoldiers Page 1 of 4
Ah, what's an empire without some nice real estate? Not much. Besides just looking really nice as you play the game, the various buildings are, of course, the key to advancing your civilization from damp and drafty caves to marbled splendor, rolling over any upstart rival empires along the way. Here are the blueprints to success.

Buildings Tip: You can queue up several of the same type of building to be built by holding down the Shift key and clicking on the building button, then placing the buildings on the map. A villager will go to the last place you clicked and begin building. If the other placements are close enough, he will build those too. If not, you will have to assign other workers to build them.

Another Buildings Tip: Multiple villagers can build a structure to complete it more quickly, and there is no resource penalty for doing so.
