Great spike#
The Great Spike is an architectural marvel capable of attracting clouds using rainplates produced in the alchemical laboratory. These clouds irrigate agricultural lands, increasing productivity and profitability.
The right to build the architectural wonder “Great Spike” is granted to a prince who has reached university development level 5 in his principality, as well as to the owner of a settlement with metropolis status and a technology level of 9440 or higher. The settlement must be located in a principality where the prince has also developed a university to level 5.
Construction#
The cost of construction in settlements on the Metropolis and Enclave servers, as well as in the principalities of the Enclave server, is the same, but in the principalities of the Metropolis server it is significantly higher.

If the prince has already built the architectural wonder “Giant Sunflower”, then 20% fewer solar panels are required to build the “Great Ear”.
Each builder consumes 0.5 flour and 1 unit of each other resource per day. Gold coins are completely deducted at the start of construction and serve as a government fee.

Since the 1001st day since its construction, the miracle needs repairs every 30 days.

If a building isn’t repaired on time, the time until the next repair remains, and costs increase proportionally to the number of missed periods. An automatic repair feature is available, without automatically purchasing resources.
