ENGINEERING

R

oman engineers are crucial to the success of our cities and Empire. Our roads are the finest anywhere in the world. Without the efforts of hard-working engineers, our civilization would be impossible.

As city governor, engineers are key for you, in that they will carry out repairs and maintenance work on your city's buildings. Without this work, your buildings will quite simply collapse.

Engineering Post

Engineering posts are small structures that train people as engineers, then send them out to patrol the area nearby. As the engineers pass each building (actually, any building within two spaces of the road), they repair any faults they find there, preventing the building from collapsing.

You should build engineer's posts throughout your city, scattered around to ensure that they cover all your buildings. Some structures don't need maintenance by engineers. These are:

Reservoirs, aqueducts, fountains and wells;

Walls, towers and forts;

Gardens and statues.

Engineering posts don't affect the desirability of nearby housing.

scribe's note:

Use the Risks overlay to spot buildings in danger of collapse. Order your Labor Advisor to assign a high priority to Engineering, so that your engineer's posts work at their full potential. A functioning engineer's post flies a blue flag.
