00:01Ah, there you are, Mayor. This is your town. For now, just a patch of sunlit earth, a few rooftops,
00:10and a great many hopes.
00:12Every story has a beginning, and this is the beginning of yours.
00:18This land can be nurtured into a thriving city, bustling with life and joy.
00:25Artisans crafting their wares, market stalls busy selling their produce, and people going about their daily lives.
00:38Let's start small by building some homes for people, and thinking about some basic provisions.
00:45They'll need something to eat. How about cheese? Poultry? Maybe some bread?
00:51Let's connect all of that with a beautiful winding road, unbound by grids or fixed sizes.
01:00As you build your town, you will need to consider supply routes for bringing goods to shops.
01:06These too will need workers, of course, but don't worry. As your town grows, people will continue to arrive, so
01:15you will have more hands to do the work.
01:22Key to growing a city is to make your citizens happy. They'll want food, clothing, entertainment and more.
01:32Some families have individual desires, like the Chastain family here. They love the quiet of the place, far from other
01:41homes.
01:43Measure success, not by gold, but by smiles. The joy of a garden well tended. The comfort of a neighbourhood
01:52lit at dusk.
01:54Making your town pretty is an important element to the happiness of your people.
01:59As your city grows, your citizens will become ever more demanding.
02:05Luckily, the research centre allows you to uncover plenty of new possibilities to meet their needs.
02:14While towns need to be functional and provide for the people, they also need to inspire.
02:21This is where your creative eye will come in handy.
02:26Decorate houses. Place flower beds and trees. Create an elaborate plaza for people to enjoy.
02:34Some citizens have more personal requests. Maybe they want a nice spot to read, or a maze to get lost
02:45in.
02:48With the foundations of your town placed, attention can now switch to growth and prosperity.
02:55Money doesn't make the world go round, but it does drive progress.
03:02As your city grows, artisans move in. They pay more taxes, but they also desire fresh produce.
03:10Build a farmer's village to supply your main city with grapes, lavender and roses.
03:21This is your legacy. A living place. A thriving home. Crafted not just with strategy, but with care.
03:33Welcome home, Mayor. We can't wait to see the world you'll build.
