Build

Basic

A build action is where the court, or the regent themselves, oversee the construction of a large building. Large buildings take time to build, and without supervision by the court or regent it is likely that costs will increase while productivity reduces.

Expanded

Build actions may apply to:

• castles
• palaces
• ports
• roads
• lighthouses
• wondrous structures
• province improvements (terraces, dikes, land clearance, drainage)

Variant

• the regent can 'take 10' and have the build proceed at 2 GB per court action rather than random progression.

• the regent can voluntarily limit the expenditure to protect the treasury

• build does not require a court action, but progress is only 1d3 Gb per turn - with 1d4 rolled for cost, if the d4 is less than the d3 then the cost equals the progression, if the d4 roll exceeds the d3 then the excess gold is lost to waste and petty theft.

• the action applies also to the mustering of troops in a province causing large musters to progress slowly.
