One of the greatest construction projects a noble can undertake is to build a new city. By laying the city walls, grading streets, creating rudimentary sewers and perhaps port facilities, a noble prepares the way for a thriving new metropolitan center.

But building a new city is not a trivial effort. It requires 2000 stone, 500 wood, 50,000 worker-days of effort. It is said that the fastest a city has ever been built was when the Emperor Dato built the city of Taejon in 57 days.

The conditions must also be right for the creation of a new city. The province must contain at least 1000 peasants and adjacent provinces must contain at least 100 peasants. In addition, the nearest existing city must be at least 5 provinces away.
