Architecture elements are used to build structures in Citadel.
You can access the build menu by pressing 'B' (default hotkey).
Build Menu[ | ]
The build menu is divided in categories
|
Structural elements by type (Wood, Stone, White Marble, Ornate) |
|
Magic elements (crafting benches, thrones, resource generators, etc.) |
|
Decorative elements (lights, decorations, etc.) |
|
The 'Remove Element' tool |
Buildings can also be enhanced by items that can be crafted, called obelisks, and that have offensive/defensive properties. (See Crafting Stations).
Buildings need a throne to belong to a character. The throne is crafted from the building menu, in the Magic categories.
Using the Building Tool[ | ]
A short tutorial and quick tips on how to use the building editor would be nice here.

Building Tips[ | ]
For players who already have experience in sandbox building games, learning to build beautiful structures might be easy and intuitive. Building can take a long time, but it is very rewarding, both in game experience and levels but also with the satisfaction it provides. It is also absolutely necessary for every wizard to have a suitable home to harbor his craft benches and tamed creatures which are needed to progress through the game.
Here are a few tips for players who are newer to the concept.
Build gradually[ | ]
- Don't try to think too big at once or you will be overwhelmed by the amount of ressources required and the possibilities/impossibilities of the build tool.
Don't be afraid to try[ | ]
- Just gather some ressources and start building.
- The 'remove tool' is very handy to come back on a part of your building that you feel isn't just right and change it to something else.
- As you build, you will discover new ways that your building overlaps with the environment.
Use stone rather than wood (as soon as possible)[ | ]
- Stone provides curved walls/floors/trims whereas wood does not.
- This greatly enhances the possibilities of building beautiful buildings.
Decorate[ | ]
- Building functional structures is fine, but decorations and especially lightings is what will really make your buildings unique and warm.
- It is definitely worth investing a few points into decorations to agrement your buildings with personal touches.
Use the 'Remove Tool' wisely[ | ]
- If a wall has a window, door or any decoration on it, be sure to remove just that before you remove the wall.
- Removing a wall with dependencies on it will destroy the dependencies without giving back materials and will only give back materials for the wall as if it were blank.
- Furthermore, be wary when you have the 'Remove Tool' selected in the building menu because any left click over any built element you own will immediately delete it.
- It is also good to note that though the 'Remove Tool' yields back a part of the built element's material when you delete it, it does not give you back the full materials required to build the element you just removed.
