So, is it confirmed that you can only build one of each type of building in each town/fort?

[FroBodine]

So, are we able to build two Smithies in the same town/fort? Or only one of each building per town/fort?

The game told me that the more Smithies you have, for example, the better weapons and armor you can buy. If we can only build one per town/fort, are the Smithies you build in other towns/forts cumulative, so each Smithy will now have better gear when you build another Smithy?

[Kensloth]

I would like to know this as well. I have an idea for a smithy-town...

[xabie]

The devs have said on here that you can only have one of each type of building in each fort

[SeekerAC]

Yeah. At first, this makes it a non-decision, because there are more building slots per fort than there are building types, and you can only have one of each building per fort.

But I'm getting some strong hints dropped by NPCs among the three factions that there are other buildings they can teach you to build, too.

[Shining Hector]

It confused me, too, but once you start reclaiming other forts it makes more sense. You can't buy endgame gear from the first fort by spamming smiths. You have your Haven fort to start with, then another fort in each of the 3 territories that you can get soon after visiting, then a second fort in each of the territories after more exploration and diplomacy, for I'm assuming 7 forts in total to unlock the best gear.

[FroBodine]

Good stuff! Thank you all.

That's correct. I forget where, but that's mentioned at some point.

has anyone actually seen a system like this yet i feel like i've done everything except a end game dungeon in the vol area but still not seen anything like this

[Spiderweb]

There are a lot of reasons for this. Game balance is very important. Keeping players from killing their build by sinking their resources into 8 Mills early is another.

But there is a key story element. Remember, these forts have a purpose. They are a base for your lands. They are a place for your people to come and get services. Your people need cloth and wood and mills. A fort with 8 smithies won't do you any good when your citizens around it can't get medicine.

Still confuses me that even with building one of every type there is still one open building left in Fort Haven. Not sure if that is for the gate back home, some special unlockable building type, or just a tragic math oversight....

[Spiderweb]

I left a free building for people to decorate with stuff. Some people like that.

That element was a specific request of my daughter, so I had to put it in. At her request, I'll be putting in more customization options in Queen's Wish 2.

[FroBodine]

Very cool! Thank you for the clarification!

Hahaha, it's awesome that you look to your daughter for counsel on the game's development!
