E.5.1: Fortify Castle [9107]


Usage:   USE 9107 [days]
Time to learn: 21 days.
Time to use: Variable.

This skill permits a noble to add fortification to an existing castle, raising its defense rating. To use this skill, a noble should be inside the castle to be improved and have at least 1 worker.

Improving the fortification of a castle requires [78] stone. The amount required is the current defense of the castle plus one. For example, to improve a castle from a defense rating of 40 to 41 requires 41 stone.

The effort required is 5 times the current defense rating of the castle in worker-days. For example, to improve a castle from a defense rating of 40 to 41 requires 40*5 = 200 worker-days.

If the "days" argument is present, the noble will work on adding fortification for that many days. Otherwise, he will work until the job is completed.

A damaged castle cannot be improved until it has been fully repaired.
