Economic Actions

Economic Actions govern the Realm’s efforts to improve its resource production, and make material improvements to its Settlements and populace through the application of these resources.

⭕ Construct Building

Pay: (🪵/🪙/🌾) Determined by building chosen

Upkeep: (🪵/🪙/🌾) Determined by building chosen

Benefits: As described by chosen building.

As Ruler you order the construction of a new building in a Settlement in your Realm.

Choose a Settlement you control, then choose a building from the Building List provided, and pay it’s Build Cost.

The building immediately fills one of the available building slots in that Settlement. At the start of the next turn the building will have finished its construction, and its Upkeep cost must be paid from that turn onwards. As long as the Upkeep cost is paid, the building provides the benefit it describes. If the Upkeep cost cannot be paid, the benefit of the building immediately ends.

Each Settlement can only have one building under construction at a time. A Settlement cannot have multiples buildings of the same name in one Settlement.

When rules conflict, the rules of an individual building supersedes the rules laid out in this action.

At the end of the New Year 🌄, it will become a Lesser Settlement with no garrison and provide no Influence, with an Upkeep of 1 Food 🌾.

At the end of the following New Year 🌄, this Settlement will become a Minor Settlement, conferring all of its usual bonuses.

If the Upkeep cannot be paid during any turn before this process is complete, then the Settlement collapses and the Location becomes available once again.
