[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 8406506, member: 1125"] An acre is 43560 sq feet, so the 10000 sq feet minimum is less than a quarter-acre section, so I really hopes its just the site of the farmhouse and sheds as you are not getting much ‘surrounding fields/pasture’ on that. It takes about 5 acres to feed a person well and generally in medieval times a a poor/cottar family might have 15 acres (house and fields) to themselves, with the average more like 30. I suppose paying 750,000gp for farmhouse with a 15 acre paddock isnt too bad, Overall I like the approach being taken of Stronghold as Feat, and think this has provided a really good insight as to how LevelUp will handle them. I’m wondering if the rules can be used to build villages/towns too - I suppose a town is just a cluster of other buildings. [B]My question though[/B] is why does building on an Island (x4) cost so much more than building underground (x2) or on a mountaintop? Does it really cost more to get a barge out on a lake than it does to haul materials into deep caverns? and it bemuses me that Encampments are best suited fighters and rogues and Farms for berserkers and druids - my expectations would be the opposite. oh theres also a minor disconnect in my brain over Mansion (which is just a large fortified house) being bigger than a Manor (which is a country house and the [I]estate[/I] around it) but not getting hung up on a single word, I will happily accept the weird and wacky machinations of Morrus’ creative mind I imagine the Level 1 10x10 stronghold as the [I]Witches hovel[/I] out in the woods, just big enough for the Witch and her raven familiar and stuffed full of weird eldritch trinkets. (Of course she cooks outside and does her business in the woods) [/QUOTE]
