1. Shelter and Sustenance
Welcome to ancient China, home to the world's oldest continuous civilization. You are about to travel back in time over four thousand years! For it was then, along the fertile banks of the Wei River, that several families banded together, discarded their nomads' cloaks, and established a small settlement.
As village elder, it is your duty to plan the layout of this new settlement. You will be called upon to provide your people with food and water, as well as a means to slake their spiritual thirst.
City - Banpo
Starts Feb 2038 BCE
Requirements:
- 150 people in Plain Cottage or better
2. Seeds of Civilization
Welcome back to the village of Banpo! Several generations have passed and the village that your people founded along the banks of the Wei River has prospered. There is a renewed sense of excitement in the town today. Word has just arrived of a nutritious new food source -- millet. As a highly respected village elder, you are needed to plan the establishment of farms where millet can be grown to supplement the diet. Hemp farms can also be built. The fibres from the hemp plant have many uses, not the least of which is for durable garments.
City - Banpo

Requirements:
- 250 people in Attractive Cottage or better
3. The Good Things
The village of Banpo on the Wei River continues to thrive. But ill health threatens, and the villagers begin to grow restless for lack of entertainment. It is fortunate that wise herbalists can now proffer their remedies to the townsfolk, and talented musicians can provide relaxing tunes. At the kiln, clay can now be fashioned into fire-hardened ceramics. The end product is not only beautiful, but will be much appreciated if offered in homage to the Creator Goddess, Nu Wa.
City - Banpo
Starts Feb 1963 BCE
Requirements:
- 400 people in Spacious Dwelling or better
- 2 Months of Heroes
4. Trading and Commerce
It is a pleasure that you could join us again, honourable village elder. Your wisdom and guiding hand has ably served the town of Banpo. Previously, you laid out the village's houses and other community structures, kept the population fed on game meat and millet, established a booming ceramics industry and -- with generous homage offerings -- attracted the venerable Creator Goddess, Nu Wa. Now wheat, another nutritious grain, can be grown to supplement the harvest. More importantly, however, a world beckons beyond your village walls. Already, explorers have departed Banpo in hopes of discovering other towns. As leader, you will soon learn how to interact with other cities of China.
City - Banpo

Requirements:
- 500 people in Elegant Dwelling or better
- 1 trading partner
- Produce 4 jade carvings in one year
5. Erlitou's Elite
Here on the plains of Erlitou, a new town shall be established. The nearby river will provide plentiful quantities of delicious fish, and the fertile soil is ideal for bountiful harvests of nutritious wheat. Additional food can be imported from Hemudu or Banpo as necessary. As before, fine ceramics can be produced at kilns.
It has been said that wonderful gifts come in small packages, and so it is true with the tiny silkworm. This marvellous creature, when fed a diet of tender mulberry leaves, produces a delicate strand of precious silk. Weavers can then meld these fragile filaments into luxurious garments -- which are already highly prized by the growing number of new elite. Your village, in fact, needs a special neighbourhood reserved for a special number of these prosperous citizens. As word spreads of the beautiful silk being produced at your town, do not be too surprised if a greedy neighbour asks for some samples.
City - Erlitou
Starts Feb 1897 BCE
Requirements:
- 40 people in Lavish Siheyuan or better
- Produce 5 bolts of silk in one year
6. Men of Arms
Wise and courageous leader, the shadows of conflict are fast approaching. Now is the time to prepare, as it will be too late to sharpen your sword when the battle is upon you. Copper ore can be smelted into fine blades by weaponsmiths. An Administrative City will be necessary to oversee the military and revenue collection. Arm and train a stalwart troop of soldiers to protect the city and its people. To partially offset the cost of raising this force, taxes should be levied. Loggers can provide wooden ledgers, needed by the tax collectors for their record keeping.
Now might be the perfect time for generous offerings to the great hero Huang Di. Perhaps the wisdom and might of the fabled Yellow Emperor will aid your city in its time of need.
City - Erlitou
Starts Feb 1876 BCE
Requirements:
- Population of 1500
- Produce 20 racks of weapons in one year
