Buildings > Guild Hall

Guild Hall

Provides shared ownership of buildings, a chat channel and access permission system to a group of people. Please see Guild Ranks as a guide to guild permissions.

A guildhall may be expanded after being built to accomodate more members (though this costs more than building for the full size initially). See the expansion section at the bottom of this page.

To build:

Construction costs:

• (100+2*N²) boards
• (100+4*N²) bricks

(for an N member guild hall)

Example initial build costs

Size	Boards needed	Bricks needed
1	102	104
2	108	116
5	150	200
10	300	500
20	900	1700
50	5100	10100
100	20100	40100

Built: in a small construction site

Skill/Tech required: none (other than Large Project Management for the construction site)

Comments

• A guildhall makes a good infinite container for bricks and boards.
• A newly built guild hall can be repositioned only once (like many other buildings built in a construction site).
• Once named and operational, a guild hall may be repositioned infinite times (utility menu), which allows for massive scale brick/board movements.

Expansion

Expanding a guildhall costs the same as building a new one, except that you recover half of the materials used to build the current hall. It is cheaper to build a hall larger than you need, rather than upgrading the hall by 1 as people join.

The expansion cost going from size A to size B:

• (50 + 2*B² - A²) boards
• (50 + 4*B² - 2*A²) bricks

Or, for the incremental cost of adding 1 member, if N is the starting size:

• (N² + 4N + 52) boards
• (2*N² + 8N + 54) bricks

Q - whats ^?

A - ^ = to the power of, ^2 = to the power of 2, or squared.
Addendum - That's the formatless way of doing powers. The wiki supports  (superscript) so that should be used, giving B². Have updated the above, but am leaving this question in for now. - miceless
