Expansion Units

From the following document: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwF09f1afXWlUnJtcnZHV0ZaV0E/view


  • Expansions can be built any time after construction.

  • The owner must expend the gold cost, then the DT days needed to complete the expansion.

  • Expansions carry a cost in expansion units, which no structure can exceed their limit on.

  • Characters needn't be present for the construction, however their labor if they are present reduces the cost by a percentage equal to half the character's level, rounded up. More than one character can secure this benefit at one time.

  • Multiple expansions can be built at once, but laboring characters can only benefit one at a time.
