Possibly in the early years the strength of the guardian could have been focused on its
markets and shops and that helped improve the city's growth further.
In later years the city needed city walls and defensive towers due to incursions by bandits
and raids from neighbouring tribes. The guardian was then focused in defence and
building works.
In recent years the city is embroiled in war. It turns out warriors and soldiers as well as
military supplies and weapons. So the guardian is now mostly focused on war production
and weapon manufacture.
Now the war has turned and the city is now the target of its enemies. The guardian is now
again focused on defence but the war production aspect is also called upon.
