Building Upgrades



To start, lets take a look at how some of the building upgrades in RoE help your town.

Headquarters

As you upgrade the Headquarters, the workers in your village get more and more efficient and as a result, construction
takes less and less time.


Silver Mine
The higher the level of the silver mine, the more silver it yeilds per hour

Barracks
As you upgrade the Barracks, recruitment and training of troops becomes more efficient and you are able to attract and train new recruits faster.

Stable
As you upgrade the Stable, recruitment and training of cavalry becomes more efficient and you are able to attract and train faster.

Siege Workshop
As you upgrade the Siege Workshop, your engineers become more efficient at constructing the machines resulting in quicker production.
Tavern
The higher the level of the tavern, the more patrons it attracts enabling you to recruit spies much faster.

Trading Post
You can transport silver between your own villages but you can also send silver to other player's villages. The higher the level of this building, the higher your transport capacity.

Farm Land
The higher the level of the farm land, the more food you are able to produce.You can never recruit more toops, or hire more workers than your farm can support as excess food is perishable and is not stored. Excess food is most welcomed by the usually half starved villages, and is eaten in big and wild festivals at every possible occasion.
Wall
The Wall by it self does little to protect the village however the wall does improve the defensive ability of the troops defending the village. The higher the level, the better job the wall does.
Defensive Towers
Defensive Towers are periminter wall towers as well as gate house towers that greatly improve the ability of the troops to defend the village. Defensive towers can be demaged and/or destroyed with Trebuchet.

Treasury
Treasury is where you store your silver coins. As silver is produced, it is stored in the treasury. However, the treasury has a storage limit and when reached, your silver mine either stops production. Therefore, it is a good idea to upgrade the treasury to be able to store a fair amount of silver.

The Palace
Palace is where you entertain your guests and where aristocrats gather. Palaces are the perfect and necessary place to attract aristocrats to join your realm in performing the role of governors. Governors are necessary for you to take over another village as they are the ones who convince the enemy's village council of elders to join your kingdom, and stay at the new village to govern it.

As you can see, all the buildings give different advantages. When you start a new town, It is best to upgrade these in a certain order so that you will start off the game strong, and capture a 2nd village early on. We will discuss this in the next post, The Early Game.
