While Liu Zhi was building the Main City, construction had also begun in several other cities. Those cities were primarily functional, focused on either mining or other resources, and weren't particularly strong defensively.

Amanet and Sandru had handled this sort of minor task countless times before.
Amanet knew better than anyone what resource-focused cities needed, so construction in these cities was progressing much faster.
