The Civic Desk is an interior floor layout for governance buildings, where the player works a board table with advisor seats and reads policy outcomes from a panel.
Triggers
Opening a civic building interior lays out the council shell: a wide board table, three advisor seats, and a policy readout panel.
Controls
The Primary station is the board table itself, the Support station seats the advisors, and the Service station presents the policy panel; petitioner motes wait in the lower lane. Tapping the table opens a decision and the panel locks the chosen outcome.
Outcomes
A resolved decision applies its civic effect and arms a short approval buff; the panel shows the producing status. Leaving a decision unresolved simply defers it — no resource is lost and the desk reopens cleanly.
Accessibility
The one-tap auto-resolve settles the desk at the fair baseline outcome, so no precise interaction is required. The board table, advisor marks, and policy panel stay distinct when entered.
Related buildings
Civic buildings such as the Forum, Academy, and Guild Hall host the Civic Desk layout.
Screenshots & static variants
Era material changes the table and panel finish, but the three-seat layout and readout slot are fixed across ages.
