This skill permits a noble to strengthen the walls of an existing castle. Strengthening the walls of a castle adds to the damage the castle must take before it is destroyed. Initially, a castle takes 100 hits to destroy. Each time the walls are strengthened, 5 hits are added to the castle. To use this skill, a noble should be inside the castle to be improved and have at least 1 worker.
Strengthening the walls of a castle requires [78] stone. The amount required is the current hit rating of the castle. For example, to improve a castle from a hit rating of 110 to 115 requires 110 stone.
The effort required is 5 times the current hit rating of the castle in worker-days. For example, to improve a castle from a defense rating of 110 to 115 requires 110*5 = 550 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.
