Perhaps more barracks, forges, and othermilitary infrastructure can be constrcted, though.  Aiden would just respond by saying that this project is an exmaple of what must be done for all workers, and would be were the businessmen not so greedy and the churches so stungy with their healing powers.  And unfortuantely, while these can provide jobs, providing reletively unprecedented benefits to workers on those projects would only further provoke rage towards businesses, and would seem to require establishing these huge programs for all government employees, not just those on these new projects."</blockquote>
