Special Buildings

Garden - Archaic Age
This building is how the Chinese generate favor. The first two gardens are built at a discounted price, and resume their normal resource cost thereafter. Gardens can also provide a trickle of other resources instead.

Titan Gate - Titan Age - Available to all Cultures in AoM
The Titan Gate is the building you must create if you want a Titan Unit. Once built, the Chinese Titan Pangu will emerge from the Gate. To gain the ability to create a Titan gate, a player must advance to the 'Titan Age' through the Town center by researching secrets of the titans.

Chinese Wonders
A Wonder is the epitome of a civilization's achievements, a representation of their power and glory. Wonders function in the same way as previous age games. They are large and expensive structures that take a long time to build, and when completed, a countdown is started. If the wonder is not destroyed before the countdown finishes, the owner's team wins the game.
