Olympia: The Age of Gods PBEM (Oct 4 2000)
The following structures may be built by nobles:
kind effort material skill where ---- ------ -------- ----- ----- inn 300 75 wood 1400 province or city mine shaft 500 none 1703 mountain or mine shaft temple 1,000 50 stone 1400 anywhere tower 2,000 100 stone 1400 anywhere castle 10,000 500 stone 1400 province or city city 50,000 2000 stone 1490 province 500 wood
The term `anywhere
' means a province, city, or other sublocation.
Buildings may not be built inside other buildings, with the exception of
towers. Up to six towers may be built inside a castle.
Effort is in worker-days.
The builder must know the required skill, have at least three workers, and possess at least one-fifth of the necessary construction materials in his inventory.
To start building, unstack from beneath other nobles and issue one
of the following build
orders:
build inn
"name of inn"
build shaft
"name of mine"
build temple
"name of temple"
build tower
"name of tower"
build castle
"name of castle"
For example, a noble who wanted to build a tower would need to know Construction [1400], have at least three workers [11], and possess at least 20 stone [78].
The construction materials will immediately be deducted from the builder's inventory and put to use. The builder and his workers will be placed inside the new structure.
The remaining construction materials are paid as work on the structure progresses. A second fifth is required as the building becomes 20% complete, the third fifth at 40%, etc. Construction halts if the builder runs out of materials.
The building is completed when the required number of worker-days is invested in construction.
To resume construction of a partially completed building, first enter
the structure, then issue the appropriate build order (such as
build inn
, build shaft
, etc.)
