Transforming Terra

Transforming terra plays an important role in constructing resource fields and castles. This is important when you have developed branch cities.

I.   The meaning of transforming Terra
 
In general, there are 4 types of resource fields outside of each city. If you want to upgrade them to level 15+, four level 15 warehouse and four kinds of technologies are needed. However, it will take a lot of money and skill points. If you transform four different resource fields into the same type, only one warehouse and one kind of technology is required. This will save you a lot of resources.
 
II.    The Effect of Transforming Terra to Development Line
 
If you have eight resource fields of the same type, you cannot consume its yields. In this situation, you'll need to transport the surplus productions to other cities and process them.
 
The resource field type determines the type of warehouse, technology, processing factory and parts, so think carefully before transforming terra.
 
III.   Transforming Terra
 
First, switch to the resource field interface.
 
 
Then you'll see the "Terraform" button. Remember though, that your main city must be level 3 to transform terra. If the "Terraform"  button is grey, move your mouse over it and check the requirements you haven't met.
 
 
 
IV.    Choose the Terra Type
 
As soon as you click the "Terraform"  button, a dialog box will pop up. You can choose the terra type you want. "Plain"  will have farms, "Desert" will have crystals, "Lake" will have sand stones, "Mountain" will have iron ores and "Woodland" will have forestry centers.
 
Choose a terra type according to the resources you need. Please note that all buildings outside the city will disappear when the terra is transformed.
 
 
 
V.   Transform and Cancel
 
After choosing the terra type, you can click "Confirm" to begin transformation. The outside interface will then become grey.
 
 
Click that interface and you will see the Terra Transformation interface which will show the time needed to finish the transformation. Click the "Hammer" icon to cancel the action.
