Academy - City development | Sylvan - Buildings Heroes VII Guide
Last update: 25 April 2017
When developing an Academy city, you must prepare for larger gold expenses. In comparison to other factions, Academy buildings require about a dozen percents more gold. Additionally, you will need large amounts of ore and special resources, mostly Dragonblood crystals. During the development you will be able to raise two buildings that will give you new possibilities - dismantling artifacts and buying spell scrolls. No other faction allows you to do that.
Below you will find a list showing the suggested order of constructing 14 buildings in your city. The number of objects is much larger, but the first two weeks of the game are the key ones. Not always, mostly due to the lack of resources, you will be able to construct the buildings exactly in recommended order. Slight differences from the list won't mean that your city is developed in wrong way.
