[QUOTE="Mesh Hong, post: 4886105, member: 73463"] How long will it take to build a large castle? - Years How long does it take to build a city? - It doesn't. You don't build a city. Cities grow from large towns, that grow from towns, that grow from the merging of villages, that grow from villages, that grow from hamlets, that grow from a natural resource or a crossing of roads along a trade route. I think it would be best to sight and build a keep or fortified manor house. If this is sufficiently grand and employes enough tradesman and workers then they will move to the area for the duration of the works. This will encourage secondary services and trades to move to the area, and before you know it you will have a small village. A small village will require some local farming which requires more associated trades. The completed Manor House will require staff and guards which will encourage people to stay, etc etc This is the birth of a city, but to say that you can "build" a city is more than a little outrageous. Unless:- You can throw a shed load of magic at it or you can persuade an actual God to lend a hand. [/QUOTE]
