## 6.1: Buildings

The following structures may be built by nobles:

      kind        effort    material   skill         where
      ----        ------    --------   -----         -----
      inn            300     75 wood    1400         province or city
      mine shaft     500        none    1703         mountain or mine shaft
      temple       1,000    50 stone    1400         anywhere
      tower        2,000   100 stone    1400         anywhere
      castle      10,000   500 stone    1400         province or city
      city	    50,000  2000 stone    1490	       province
                            500 wood

The term ``anywhere`' means a province, city, or other sublocation. Buildings may not be built inside other buildings, with the exception of towers. Up to six towers may be built inside a castle.

Effort is in worker-days.

The builder must know the required skill, have at least three workers, and possess at least one-fifth of the necessary construction materials in his inventory.

To start building, unstack from beneath other nobles and issue one of the following `build` orders:

- `build inn` "name of inn"
- `build shaft` "name of mine"
- `build temple` "name of temple"
- `build tower` "name of tower"
- `build castle` "name of castle"

For example, a noble who wanted to build a tower would need to know Construction [1400], have at least three workers [11], and possess at least 20 stone [78].

The construction materials will immediately be deducted from the builder's inventory and put to use. The builder and his workers will be placed inside the new structure.

The remaining construction materials are paid as work on the structure progresses. A second fifth is required as the building becomes 20% complete, the third fifth at 40%, etc. Construction halts if the builder runs out of materials.

The building is completed when the required number of worker-days is invested in construction.

To resume construction of a partially completed building, first enter the structure, then issue the appropriate build order (such as `build inn`, `build shaft`, etc.)

- Guild Halls
- Inns
