Great spike #

The Great Ear is a mighty architectural structure that can magically attract majestic clouds with the help of rain plates that are produced in an alchemical laboratory. These clouds irrigate agricultural lands with fertile moisture, significantly increasing the profitability of agriculture.

The following have the right to build the architectural miracle “Great Ear”:

• a prince who has reached the 5th level of university development in his principality;
• owner of a settlement that has reached megacity status and has the technology level of 9440 or higher. Moreover, the settlement should be located on the territory of a principality, where the prince has also deveoped the university to the 5th level.

The Great Ear is designed to improve conditions for agriculture and enrich the area with moisture, which helps to increase the productivity and profitability of lands.

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.

	Resource	Quantity
	Flour	16,750
	Wood beam	11,150
	Edged board	22,300

The cost of construction in the principalities on the Metropolis server is significantly higher.

	Resource	Quantity
	Gold	40.0196
	Flour	21,942.5
	Wood beam	14,606
	Edged board	29,213
	Mounting rail	58,426

	Fittings	11,685
	Magic solar plate	288
	Magic rain plate	288

Important! If the prince has already built the architectural wonder “Giant Sunflower”, then he will need 20% less solar plates to build the “Great Ear” .

During the day, each builder consumes 0.5 flour and 1 unit of other resources. Gold coins are written off completely at the beginning of construction and are a state tax.

Repair #

Starting with 1001 days after its construction, the wonder needs repairs every 30 days.

Table. The cost of repairing the Great Ear

	Resource	Repair cost
	Flour	167
	Wood beam	111
	Edged board	223
	Mounting rail	446
	Wood lining	892
	Foundation block	111
	Overlap block	223
	Facing plate	446
	Brick	892
	Channel	11
	Girders	22
	Corner	45
	Fittings	89
	Magic solar plate	2
	Magic rain plate	2

If the building is not repaired on time, the time until the next repair is still taken into account. That is, after 60 days you will need to spend the double amount of materials, and so on.

You do not have to control the repair of the building yourself, since there is an automatic repair function.

Additional bonuses #

Additional Great Ear bonuses include:

• increasing the rate of ripening agricultural products. In all fields located on the territory of the principality or metropolis where the “Great Ear” wonder is built, the ripening time of the crop is reduced by 5%. This contributes to faster harvesting and increased land productivity;
• bonus to dragons’ intention. For dragons born in the environment of the “Great Ear”, +5 intention is added. Additionally, if a dragon lives in an amber cave on the territory of a principality with a “Great Spike” built, he is also awarded an additional +5 intentions;
• daily subsidy from the state. The owners of the “Great Spike” receive a special allowance from the state daily as an additional reward.
