From the rules:

Tile Profit

Profit is gained at 1g per turn chat for each plus (food, production and gold) of that tile as measured at the start of the turn chat.

As a tile gains improvements it becomes more productive. Government type will also affect land profits.

Tile profits are not recalculated by the Land Office. It is the owners responsibility to monitor their tile output and post an update in this thread when it changes.

No profit is given for any tile that is under the control of a foreign nation at the end of the turn chat.

No profit is given for any tile that is outside Fanatika's cultural border at the end of the turn chat.

Well, what does this actually mean? I've got to find out what my tile gives me, and I've got to report that somewhere, but how and to whom the rules don't make clear.

 

[disorganizer]

you have to post that in the land-office thread. so you check the save on how much your tiles produce and then post it there. from then on, the new profits will be used for the income post in the fra each tc.

Okay, face this: I've got 5 points engineering skills, does that mean that I can build my own wall if I buy raw materials?

engineering is a skill under the WARFARE ability. It allows the operation of seige's etc. It does not mean you can build your own wall.

From the rules:

Engineering - Defense and offense for siege warfare. This includes shoring, buttressing, sapping, mining, use of artillery, etc. Also the creation of earth works and mobile or temporary fortifications/defenses.

Creating earth works, shoring and buttressing seems to be the exact abilities needed for building fortifications. Ergo, I can build a wall.
Now, why can't I build a wall?
It's like you can't ride a horse with horsemanship.

 

[disorganizer]

Nope. A wall is stonework, not earthwork.
And it sais "temporary fortifications"... Abilities alone never enable you to build anything

But you can of course open a business for wallbuilding and advertise that one with your abilities... maybe the walls will be better if you build them? I dont know...

 

[Shabbaman]

There already is a wall building business. So, I can build 'earth works'? Or have my academy students construct 'earth works'?

 

[disorganizer]

yes. earthworks are typical warfare buildings as they give defense value for your mobile troops. also i believe with this you will use existing walls better than other people (well, you add defense to the tile you are at/troop you fight with if i understood it right)

 

[Shabbaman]

Question:

Can I give my lands a name (analogue to 'vanir', 'lancre')? I have a castle on it (well, it's almost ready) or are there other prerequesits?

There are no restrictions on naming your territory. Feel free to give it a moniker whenever you wish.
