Construction

The construction menu

Buildings are constructed by Builders, which are employed at the Hall and Warehouses and will construct them or carry resources to the construction site during working hours. They are generally constructed in the order they were placed. Buildings can be moved at the cost of 5 Wood. They can also be removed but this will not refund any construction materials.

Buildings can also be upgraded, which will add space for another worker. Upgrading a building beyond level 3 requires a lord to have the second level of building knowledge. Buildings will continue functioning while they are being upgraded.

Certain buildings require knowledge to be constructed. If a book containing the required knowledge is stored the building will appear in the construction menu but will be greyed out until a lord gains its knowledge. If the last lord with the knowledge to construct a building dies all already constructed buildings that require the said knowledge will no longer function.

Buildings require Tools and a lord with the knowledge required for its construction for repairs. If a building hasn't been repaired in a long time it may catch fire.

Buildings can be given priority via a button in the bottom-left corner when the building is selected. If a building is given priority workers will be automatically reassigned from other buildings to it in case of a shortage of workers and if the manager does not give instructions all day another free lord will do it.

Hall

The Hall

Every city starts with a Hall, which hires 3 Builders, 2 Servants and serves the same storage and wage functions as a Warehouse. The Hall starts managed by the king but the manager can be changes as with every other building. The Hall is also the target for some rebellions.

The Hall cannot be manually destroyed.

Resources buildings

Resources buildings produce basic resources and are operational between 9 AM and 6 PM. All resources buildings require a manager.

The resource production of fields scales with how much of the building is located on fertile soil. Fertile soil is visible on the map and will be highlighted in green when constructing a field. Fields are harvested every 3 days and may perish without sufficient rain. Every 10 days the fields must be fertilized using Wood equal to half of the field's construction cost.

Mines can only be constructed over iron deposits. An arrow will point to the deposits when trying to construct Mine.
