Forge of Empires: iPad Player Guide (Opening New Technologies and Building Your City!)
2 - Opening New Technologies and Building Your City!
One of the best features is that you can now build your very own, brand new, unique city however you want!
To build any new building, you first need to unlock them.
Along the bottom of the screen are your different menu options. The second icon along which looks like a chemistry glass is your technology tree - tap here to open it.
Here is the start of the tech tree as you will see it when you begin.
By swiping the screen you can scroll along to see future eras. You must unlock certain technologies before you can open those further along. By tapping on each tech you can see the cost to unlock it. When you meet these costs that tech will open and then display a green tick as you see in the image above. Whatever building or item it is you opened, will now be available in your build menu to place in your new city.
So this time, from the menu you need to tap the very farthest to the left, which looks like a building hammer within a hand. This is the build menu. In here you will find all items currently available for you to build.
Above is the build menu when open. You can see there are numerous options along here - houses, supplies, decorations, military buildings and even your expansions to make the city bigger.; these are all in here. If you look at the image, you can also see that when the build menu is open, at the far top right are two small icons MOVE and SELL.
Next to expansions is roads, all trails, and roads unlocked are in here. To build your roads, click on the type you would like build, then on your city place this first segment where you would like the road to begin, and press the green tick. Then you can see small arrows beside this piece of road, swipe along the screen where you wish to build the road, when done press the green tick once more, this will then place the road for you. I have added an image of this below for you.

If you wish to move a building, you need to tap the MOVE icon so it is highlighted, then click the building you wish to move. Once in the spot you are happy with, click the green tick, as shown on the image below.
Selling items works in the same way. First, open the build menu, then tap the SELL icon so it is highlighted and press the building you wish to sell. You will then get a small window asking you to confirm the action.
