Arsenal
Production Cost 300
Unlocked at Metallurgy

The Arsenal is a building available in the Renaissance Era.

Game Info[]

Building an Arsenal requires a Castle or any of its replacements.

  • +9 City Strength
  • +25 City Health

With Social Policies / Tenets:

  • Fortified Borders (Autocracy): +1 Happiness

Overview[]

An arsenal is a larger and more extensive armory, containing an army's bigger and more dangerous weapons systems - tanks, artillery, high-explosive ammunition, and so forth. Arsenals are even more heavily-guarded than armories, since nobody wants anybody stealing a tank or an 88-mm explosive shell.
