Structures

Modifications

Individual rooms can be built up, improved, and modified in a small variety of ways.
You may choose to purchase a modification from the list below for either a room being built or for one that has already been built. If the room is being built, the modification adds its build time to the total build time. If a modifica­tion is purchased for an existing room, the modification's building begins immediately, and the room will not provide a benefit until this building is complete.
Some modifications have requirements, which the owner or at least one of the owner's allies within the structure must be able to fulfill in order to build.

Infrastructure

Hirelings

Any large-scale structure requires constant work and upkeep to remain operational, and roving heroes aren't usually predisposed to building maintenance. Hirelings are individuals you may pay to perform ordinary or skilled tasks at your behest, expecting payment in return. Soldiers are hirelings skilled in the art of combat, who will fight and even possibly die in the defense of your structure, or for the glory of its banner.
Hirelings of any sort must be paid to retain their services, and hirelings will typically desert their service after 7 days without pay. If hirelings required by a structure are not paid or desert, the structure and its expansions will cease functioning or providing any benefits.
