| − | Land alone is nice to have, but without buildings and infrastructure, it is of little use to anyone. You have a variety of buildings to choose to build and how you structure your province is up to you. Your Internal Affairs Advisor can help provide details on the benefits of building various structures, but there is no perfect or ideal balance for growth. You will find that having mass quantities of a given building decreases the effectiveness of those buildings.
| |
| | | | |
| − | ==Classes of Buildings==
| + | #REDIRECT [[Growth]] |
| − | There are three classes of building effects, and each functions differently. While this may be difficult to follow, you will quickly understand it with some experience within the game. The three classes are:
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Capacity Buildings''' - These buildings simply create space for you, and are not impacted by efficiency
| |
| − | issues. Homes, for example, provide additional space for peasants.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Flat Rate Buildings''' - This type of building provides a set amount of a particular resource. These
| |
| − | buildings need many employees to be fully effective. An example is a Tower which creates a set
| |
| − | number of runes each day.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Percentage-based Buildings''' - The majority of Utopian buildings are percentage-based. These buildings
| |
| − | provide an effect based on the portion of your land covered by it. For example, having 10% of your
| |
| − | land as Banks will increase your income by a certain percentage. Like flat-rate buildings, these
| |
| − | also require employees to provide full effects. In addition, each additional building you construct
| |
| − | will be less effective. The numbers listed in this section would be for the first building you
| |
| − | construct. Your Internal Affairs Advisor will help you to understand the benefits of your land.
| |
| − | Unless otherwise specified, these buildings have a maximum effect of 25 times the number listed
| |
| − | below. With normal [[Exploring,_Construction_%26_Building_Formulas#Building_Efficiency|building efficiency]], this maximum is reached by dedicating 50% of your land to
| |
| − | that building.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | == The Buildings ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Barren Lands ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Barren lands are not an actual building. These are simply available acres - gained by exploration, the Paradise spell or attacks - in your province that can be built up with real buildings as described below. Nevertheless, barren lands can still hold a few people and produce a very small amount of food every day.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Increases your maximum population by 15 (built land has a base capacity of 25)
| |
| − | Produces 2 Bushels per Day
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Homes ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | While every built up acre of land already houses people – which means Homes are not a necessity for a province – you may find yourself wanting more population. Homes give your citizen more place to live, and also increase your natural birth rates. Furthermore, Homes employ no peasant and will thus overall help you fill all the jobs in your province.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Increases your maximum population by 8
| |
| − | Increase Birth Rates by % * 4
| |
| − | Employs no one
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Farms ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Farms are one of the most important buildings in your province, and also a vital one. Every day, each of your people will eat 0,25 bushels, and each Farm produces 70 bushels per day. Watch your food supplies very carefully, because otherwise starvation might deplete your population rather fast!
| |
| − | | |
| − | Produces 70 Bushels Per Day
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Mills ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Exploration is one of the main ways of growing in Utopia, and building Mills will help you to send out expeditions at cheaper cost. Furthermore, Mills will also improve your builders skills, making building construction slightly less expensive.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Decrease Building Costs by % * 4 (Max of 99%)
| |
| − | Reduces exploration gold expenses by % * 3
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Banks ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Banks are one of the major sources of income in Utopia along with tax collection. Every day, each Bank you own will produce some gold. Furthermore, your Banks all work together at improving your tax collection facilities, increasing further your global income.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Generate $25 per day
| |
| − | Increase Income by % * 1.25
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Training Grounds ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Maintaining a good offense is important for all attackers, and Training Grounds will provide an enhanced training to all your offensive troops, allowing them to fight more efficiently in combat and thus increasing your overall attacking power.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Increase Offensive Military Efficiency by % * 1.5
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Armouries ===
| |

| |
| − | | |
| − | Lowers Attack Time by % * 1.5
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Forts ===
| |
| − | | |

| − | | |
| − | Increase Defensive Military Efficiency by % * 1.5
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Guard Stations ===
| |
| − | | |

| |
| − | | |
| − | Decrease Resource Losses when Attacked by % * 2
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Hospitals ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Having a good military power is important, and keeping your soldiers healthy is vital in order to achieve this. By deploying Hospitals in the battlefields, you will significantly lower the casualties suffered by your troops in combat. Furthermore, your medics will work at curing the [[The_Plague|Plague]] if your province ever catches it.

| − | Decrease Military Losses by % * 3
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Guilds ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Unlike all your other units, either the military footmen or the thieves, wizards are not trained by using gold. Your ascendant wizards will have to go through intensive studies in Guilds before being able to serve you properly. They are an absolute necessity for Mages.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 2% Chance of Training a Wizard Daily (per Guild)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Guilds also increase the yield and duration of your self spells and offensive spells.

| − | | |
| − | === Thieves' Dens ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Thieves Dens are the lair of all the thieves of your province, the place where they practice their obscure and dark skills. Thieves Dens will increase the success rate of the thievery operations you will conduct. Should your operations still fail, Thieves Dens will lower your thieves losses. Thieves Dens are a must for all Thieves.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Lower Losses in Thievery Operations by % * 4 (capped at 95%)
| |
| − | Increase Thievery Effectiveness by % * 3
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Watchtowers ===
| |
| − | | |

| |
| − | | |
| − | === Stables ===
| |
| − | | |

Nevertheless, horses do not participate in defense, and you obviously cannot send more horses in combat than you have actual troops!
| |
| − | | |
| − | Produces One Horse Per Day
| |
| − | Holds 60 Horses (per Stable)
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Dungeons ===
