### E.1.2: Build Hull [1002]

      Usage:     BUILD ship "Name of ship" size
      Requires:  at least three workers [11]
      	   10 wood [77] per unit size
      	   100 worker-days per unit size
      Time to learn: 14 days.

To begin construction of a ship, the shipbuilder should unstack from beneath other nobles and issue a BUILD order. One-fifth of the lumber is required to start construction. The rest is deducted as progress on the ship is made (the second fifth at 20% completion, the third fifth at 40% completion, etc.)

The shipbuilder and his workers will be placed inside the new ship.

As soon as the required number of worker-days has been invested in construction, the ship will be christened and declared seaworthy.

To resume construction of a partially completed ship, first enter the ship, then issue "build ship".

Ships may only be built in locations with a passable route to an ocean, such as a port city.
