Is there a 'tech tree' for city building?

[Ragic]

Even though I've played aow 3 a ton, it doesn't really help with the new city structures in aow 4. I know about 'boosting' and province development, but is there a dependency tree for buildings or perhaps a guide on how to 'specialize' cities yet?

You really REALLY don't need one.

Google -> github + age of wonders 4 -> and there is a database with really good UI were you can see the tech tree

Tibbles has made another amazing database for AoW4, this one includes a City Tree as you're looking for.

Thank you! So is it fair to say the city building is like Civ where you end up building everything you can in every city (im not a pro civ player) or is it more like Warlock where you want a 'gold city' a 'mana city' etc.

I guess the reason I'm asking is because I always seem to be broke and underdeveloped.

You end up building almost everything. BUT there are guilds for each resource type and you can build only one Guild per city so you will end up specializing your cities. Farmer's Guild for example gives you extra Food in that city for each farm that you build in its provinces. Same for Worker's Guild but it scales per number of Quarries and so on. But the Guild is the last in the series so you can build up everything until then.

I recommend Boosting your structures before building them since it makes them 30% cheaper or something like that. So not only it will cost less gold but it will also be built faster since it cuts 30% of the production cost as well.

Ok, cool. I guess my mistake was in thinking I always need to be building something to 'keep up'.
