Buildings

Wood, aside from metal and glass, is the last material available on the islands of the Planet Archipelago. To make use of it, you need a sawmill. Wood is a raw material that your empire cannot do without. You use wood mainly as fuel for your ships. Since the World Tauri technology is to a large extent based on the properties of ancient crystal and works of Leonardo Da Vinci, you can infer that it represents the marriage of a modern technical approach, obtained through research on crystal, and steam engines, for the operation of which wood is indispensable. Each level of a sawmill produces a certain amount of this raw material, but it must be remembered that this building also consumes valuable energy.

To the delight of the first colonists, large deposits of metal were discovered on the first planet of the Planet Archipelago. The first ironworks was built many years following the landing. In a metal smelter your people manufacture metal. Along with the development of your colonies you will need more and more of this raw material.

In a warehouse you can store raw materials. Warehouses had been known before, but it was not until 266 years following the landing that Tadeus Agryppa created a special vault, protected with the crystal-generated microsingularity. In this way, vaults became impregnable, and so far no technology has been developed which would make it possible to overcome the barrier of crystal without complicated operations of transferring appropriate doses of energy using the crystal micro-singularity (which, understandably, is known only to the ruler of the island). The higher the level of a warehouse, the more you can store in a protected vault.

Energy on the Planet Archipelago is the most precious raw material. At first people attempted to extract it from the mysterious Crystal, but despite its ability to create anti-gravity and microsingularities, it turned out to be too unstable. Therefore, it was decided to focus on the structures based on the works of the Ancient Leonardo: windmills. Your subordinates may develop them to produce the energy needed for production buildings and protective shields. Without energy no structure can be built in your empire.

After years of war madness on the first inhabited planet, the first trade guild was created under the Three Alliances Peace Treaty, in the year 344 following the first landing. Currently, it is headed by the Queen Gandha, who for many years has stayed alive through assimilation with the Crystal. Although the rumors regarding this are not confirmed, the Guild still uses the Queen’s seals. For centuries, the Guild has dealt with the exchange of raw materials between islands and - if you manage to construct its building on an island - you will be able not only to trade but also organize attacks on other players, buy heroes, or raw material bonuses. Please note, there is a special location on an island designated for the construction of this building.

The first cities were created using a long-forgotten technology modeled on an ancient Interplanetary Ship, whose remains can still be found on one of the planets of the Planet Archipelago. The city is the center of your colony and its beating heart. Its subsequent levels will accelerate the construction of other structures in your empire

Aureliusz Cormac, Chief of the Bureau of Infiltration, in a letter written to Emperor Gortiana 334 years after the landing said, ‘Increased espionage activities of the Empire’s enemies should encourage your Highness to consent to the construction of a new building thanks to which we will be able to defend ourselves against infiltration attacks of our enemies.’ Today, every level of the intelligence building allows you to have a specific number of counter-intelligence units. In the building you can also recruit spies so that you will be able to carry out spying on other players.

The first laboratory was set up shortly after the landing in the Citadel. Its copies began to quickly emerge on different islands, although not as advanced as the prototype that uses the resources of the Ancient Interplanetary Ship of the Old Earth. In each laboratory there are scientists, and each level of the building makes it possible to increase their number and provides an opportunity to assign them to conduct specific research projects.

When the research on the features of the Crystal entered a decisive stage, in the year 823 after the landing scientists discovered that the antigravity field emitted by it, supported with the specific energy acquired by means of energy balloons, generates an antigravity bubble with unprecedented magnetic properties. That’s how the first force field was created, also called a shield. With a proper amount of energy your shield will absorb a certain amount of energy from your enemy’s attacks. Please note, there is a special location designated for the construction of this building on an island.

The first senate building was constructed during a momentary flourish period of the Trade Guild. It was founded by Certimus Magnus, who declared himself Emperor of the Three Planets, but then resigned wishing to implement in the Planet Archipelago a meticulous plan to revive the ideals of a republic of the Old Earth. And though his plans didn’t succeed, the idea of the Senate has remained. Today, thanks to the Senate, islands’ rulers can form alliances and exchange raw materials. With the building of the Senate at an appropriate level, you can also form an alliance.

To the surprise of the first settlers, secret bunkers were discovered on the first islands just after the landing, which were probably the remains of the long extinct Planet Archipelago race. Some of them have been adapted, while some have been reconstructed on the basis of the discovered designs. Today, well-equipped bunkers protect land units against attacks from missiles fired from other islands.

As Commander Gerius MacRother wrote in his memoirs in the year 128 after the landing, ‘There is nothing more beautiful than a soldier’s song, resonating eagerly in the barracks. Here you can meet friends and comrades of arms, and here you’ll arrange outings to get to know alluring women. But in the heart of every soldier there should be a place for love and respect for his island empire. Also, special attention should be paid to the purity of arms.’ In the barracks you train your soldiers and produce menacing and sophisticated war machines. Subsequent levels of barracks give you an opportunity to build bigger war machines, causing fear at the battlefield.land units.

This advanced structure was erected thanks to unknown materials of an Ancient named Leonardo da Vinci and constitutes the basis of military technology. After the construction of a Shipyard, your subordinates will be able to build, based on the works of Leonardo, flying units, defence systems or even a Flying Fortress - the terror of island worlds. Building additional levels of a Shipyard sometimes provides access to more advanced units.Ships.

When in the year 544 after the landing the scientist Ratham developed the first calibrated cannon, he was hailed as an evil-doer and a traitor of mankind. The calibrated cannon, based on missiles enhanced energetically through the use of Crystal inserts, is a big machine which not only could attack other islands, but also effectively protect you against others’ attacks. Subsequent levels of the cannon increase its attack range.

The energy balloon naturally evolved into the spy balloon, first released by Meklar, the Lord of Eight Islands, in the year 34 after the landing. Thanks to a balloon you will be able to obtain information about the movements of other players’ fleets. Subsequent levels of a spy balloon increase the height at which it is sent, which naturally increases the scanning range of an island’s surrounding areas.

The first Admiralty building was built in the year 333 after the landing, during a 10-year war of the Five Kingdoms. The building is a state-of-the-art communications center. The Admiralty can receive and send allied ships in defence against a common enemy. Each unit accepted as a support from an ally requires certain maintenance costs counted per one hour. Note that each Admiralty level has fleet modifiers of attack and defence by 1%. Remember that a fleet built on one island and staying on another island has fleet modifiers from the island where it was created. At the Admiralty you can see information about the movements of the fleets organized on a given island and divert a fleet from the position of the Admiralty. In this building you will also receive information about spy actions sent by you from a given island and obtain information on the fleets organized on a given island and staying at other locations (islands).

For many years it was thought how to safely use the mysterious antigravity properties of the Crystal. The singularity created by the the Crystals, based primarily on the physics of black holes, was too dangerous. In the end, it was discovered that generation of singularities is quite safe in the structures that are just above the water environment. So, in the year 732 after the landing, first platforms were built. A platform enables construction of special structures based on the properties of the Crystal: teleports – buildings used for sending your ships or heroes between islands and planets, and a spaceport, where you can send Interplanetary Ships to other planets to colonize them and transport land units to them. This structure also enables a Tow Unit to stay there.

The Crystal, once the cause of destruction of the Old Earth, was rediscovered after hundreds of years in the mysterious Planet Archipelago, reached by the last remnants of humanity. What is its secret? Nobody knows. The puzzling features of the Crystal allow you to create levitating ships, and even build an Interplanetary Ship. The Crystal is a very valuable material, and major efforts are required to obtain it. Please note, there is a special location designated for the construction of this building.

Like a teleport, the first spaceport was built almost 800 years after the landing. Today, this is one of the most technologically advanced structures. The Center enables you to colonize other planets and move your units to them.

ATTENTION! To start an interplanetary ship you will need:
- 1 Interplanetary Ship
- 1 Navigator (bonus - available from the upper game menu)
- 3 Interplanetary Engines (available to build in a Shipyard)
- 400 000 Energy

Thanks to antigravity features of the Crystal, the first teleports were developed, although they can be used only in the vicinity of the aquatic environment. The first teleportation attempts were successful already in the year 752 after the landing. Today, thanks to a teleport you can not only move ships between islands, but also to other planets (although it is burdened with a huge energy expense). The advantage of a teleport is that the movement of units takes place within a split second.

A natural outcome of the first military actions on the islands was the creation of defensive cannons, based in the beginning on a new steam engine technology, and later enhanced with specific features of the crystal. As time passed, special defense systems were produced with the use of which individual systems repelling enemy attacks could be built.

you cannot move defences between your islands, so build them wisely.
