Buildings

Building Types Building Restrictions

When setting the destination of a deployed unit, you can build buildings by selecting the unit command [Build]. Units ordered to build will move to the destination and begin construction. At this point, costs will be deducted from the unit's affiliated city. Construction will halt if there are insufficient funds.
Construction will finish and the effects will activate when the building reaches maximum durability. A building's effects only apply within a fixed range of the building.

Note: The number of buildings that can be constructed can also be increased by using the Support and Schemes departments, found under force command [Appointments] → Administration.

Building Types

Buildings can be classified into 3 types: Military, Obstacles, and Traps.

Military Facilities	These can obstruct enemy advances and lower the amount of supplies needed by your units. Recommended for defense and maintaining the front line.
