Building Chains are a feature first added in the 2019 Winter Event with the addition of the Winter Train.

They are similar to building sets in that bonus(es) of the buildings are increased by the addition of other buildings. In contrast, set buildings only regard direct neighbors while the building chains regard connected buildings no matter the distance to the base building as long as they are correctly aligned.

By chaining selected buildings to the base building, the base building's production and/or bonuses are increased. The buildings have to be correctly aligned for the chain bonus to take effect. Spaces between the additional buildings break the chain. As the same building may be attached multiple times, the total number of buildings that can be added to the chain is only limited by the availability of the buildings and the player's city size.

If there is more than one building that may be connected to the base building for a proper chain, the additional buildings can be attached in any order.

Hippodrome Chain[]

ChainH

The Hippodrome Chain technically consists of two chains. A first chain can be created using the Hippodrome Sphendone as a base building and a second chain can be created using the Hippodrome Carceres as a base building. Both chains are formed by attaching track buildings to either of the two base buildings. What is special here, is that each track can be part of both chains at the same time when correctly aligned and placed without gaps.

The level of the Carceres/Sphendone building itself does not matter for the bonuses to take effect. Also, neither the Carceres/Sphendone nor the additional tracks need to be polished/motivated for the bonuses to take effect.

As an additional effect, if the Carceres and the Sphendone are correctly aligned and there are no gaps between the two or they share the same track chain, a chariot will roam the hippodrome.
