In-game description[]

Although you can deal with big populations by packing your people into these towers, they're cheap and uncomfortable and no one likes living in them.

Info[]

The skyscraper is the only building that can be built on top of itself, and it seems to have incredibly high limits, to how high the player can build each skyscraper up.

However, it is resource-intensive (putting a strain on ore supplies), and has more use for evil Gods, since it produces evil points and unhappiness, albeit being space saving.

Each floor of skyscraper increases overall capacity, and impressiveness.

Because it is so compact, it is easy to build impressiveness on an area that already provides excellent impressiveness-increasing modifiers, which can help draw immigrants to your settlement.

It's recommended to build these next to nurseries and fertility statues, because the birthrate bonus affects villagers living in any floor of the skyscraper, no matter how tall.

Statisctics[]

Tribute cost: 100,000

Wood: 400

Ore: 200

Impressiveness: 40

Note: those are statistics for each individual floor, and they stack, if built higher.

Trivia[]
  • If the player decides to throw a rock (or Meteor miracle) at a skyscraper, that already has multiple floors built, the floors will fall apart, damaging neighboring buildings, and killing unlucky citizens in the area.
    • Naturally, such destruction means that each floor has to be rebuilt from scratch.
  • The texture of skyscraper floors, only differs between first and second/following floors (depending on player alignment).
