(Q) = Benefits from Quarries
(L) = Benefits from Logging Mills

Aqueduct (Q)
An Aqueduct brings water from alpine lakes and rivers to lowland cities where water is scarce or
insufficient for the local populace. A finished series of Aqueduct hexes must connect to a hill or
mountain hex (with a river or lake) on one end and a settlement on the other end; otherwise, you do not
gain its benefit.
Terrain: One end must be hill or mountain hex; can pass through any type of hex.
Effect: Stability +1, Loyalty+1 (eliminating lack of water penalties essentially), allows settlement to
build water-dependent buildings.
Cost: As a Road, except the cost is not doubled for hexes with rivers (see Table 46: Terrain and Terrain
Improvements on page 214).
Prerequisites: Settlement must have a water shortage penalty in order to gain the benefits.

Bridge (Q)
A Bridge allows your Road hexes to cross rivers.
Cost: When you build a Road in a hex that contains a river, the doubled coast of the Road includes the
cost of bridges needed to cross the river. You dont need to build a Bridge as a separate unit; its listed
here for reference only.

Canal (Q)
A Canal is an artificial waterway that allows barge traffic to haul heavy commodities.
Terrain: Desert, hill, or plain. Must connect between two bodies of water.
Effect: Settlements in a hex with a Canal treat the hex as if it had a river.
Cost: Twice the cost of a Road (see Table 46: Terrain and
Terrain Improvements on page 214).

Farmland*
You can develop farmlands to help sustain your kingdom's consumption.
Costs and Benefit: It costs 2 BP to build farmland in a grassland hex and 4 BP in a hill hex. Every
farmland hex in your kingdom normally reduces your kingdom's consumption by 2 (or by 1 during winter
months). You can sell any excess Farm / Fishery production at a rate of 1 BP per 4, or 1 per 2 during
winter.
Prerequisites: Farmlands can be built in any grassland or hill hex.

Fishery*
A Fishery is like a Farm, except it provides abundant fish rather than planted crops.

Terrain: Coastline, water, river, or marsh. Effect: Consumption decreases by 1 BP. Cost: 4 BP.

Fort (Q)
A structure that protects strategic points. It can also serve as a garrison for an army in the field
(reducing army maintenance costs).
Costs and Benefits: It costs 24 BP to build a Fort. A fort gives stability modifier +2 and reduces unrest
by 1.
Prerequisites: Forts can be built in any hex containing a road or river.
Special: If attacked, forts have a defense modifier of +4. If a town is built in a hex with a fort, the
town automatically gains a guard tower and palisade wall. A Watchtower can be upgraded to a fort for
12 BP.

Highway (Q)
A highway is a paved and well-maintained version of a Road. You may upgrade a Road into a Highway.
You must have a kingdom of Size 26 or greater to build a Highway. Terrain: Any hex with a Road.
Effect: Economy +1 for every 4 hexes of Highway, Stability +1 for every 8 hexes of Highway; improves

each estate in your kingdom, increase your stability modifier +1.
Prerequisites: Estates can be built in any grassland or hill hex with farms. Requires a willing vassal.
Special: Estates negate the consumption reduction the farmland in the hex provides. Estates can
provide elite armies to your kingdom that do not require as much outside support. Rules for raising and
maintaining armies are beyond the scope of this ruleset, but will be provided later.

Logging Camp* (W)

You can establish logging camps in forests to supply your kingdom with timber. A logging camp is
situated in a single hex, but it supports logging in adjacent hexes.
Costs and Benefit: It costs 6 BP to build a logging camp. 1 BP discount for any single wood-based
development, ship or building per month. A development can be up to halved in cost this way.

woods hexes and may not be adjacent to another Logging camp.

automatic income of 1-5 BP.

Special: An orchard planted at the site of an existing bee yard only costs 3 BP.

Quarry*
You can establish quarries in hills or mountains to supply your kingdom with stone.
Costs and Benefits: It costs 8 BP to build a quarry. Each quarry gives you a 1 BP discount for any single
stone-based development or building per month. A development can be up to halved in cost this way

stability.

 Costs and Benefits: It costs 1 BP to build a road though a plains or hex. This cost increases to 2 BP in
forests, 3 BP in hills and to 4 BP in swamps and mountains. If the road crosses a river, a bridge must be
builtthis doubles the road's cost unless there is already a bridge in the hex. For every 4 road hexes your
kingdom controls, the economy modifier increases by +1. For every 8 road hexes your kingdom controls,
the stability modifier increases by +1.
Special: Roads can be built in the same hex as other hex improvements. Roads also decrease travel
time in your kingdom (as per normal Pathfinder rules).
