There are basic costs of an outpost or such in the wiki...lemme track them down
EDIT:

New towns nominally have a base tax of +2, so their base difficulty is -2. Some outposts might be founded at -1 difficulty with a base tax of +1. The difficulty of improving a town thereafter is equal to its present tax rate/2 but limited by resources

[Taricus]

1d for a wall, 2d for a fort, 3d for a castle. The fort and the castle require an engineer each.

[CyberGenesis]

Given the Inn is a service industry, they can sponsor for engineers at 1d per.

I guess technically I could rework the 'size' of the island if you wanted to do something more with it. The larger you want it to really be, the harder it'll be to hide it when Tari inevitably comes for your heads

As it stands: 1d min to found the outpost, +w/e extras

I need to SERIOUSLY look at the parcel/city limits. Currently the ACTUAL land size a city has? Complete and utter bullshit created on the spot when we roll a new city. There's also no way currently to increase the max population/urban potential. So i'm trying to find a Land:Pop correllation that makes sense. Allows kings/independants to conquer parcels to increase the kingdom size

@Dwarmin, whenever he sees it: Do you already have a layout in mind for the Alanis estate, or is it cool if I make up things? Because for some reason I'm hoping for a lake on the grounds. Preferably with fish.

[Dwarmin]

@SC: The only canon is it's archithecture, which is a stylized gothic. Everything else is up in the air.

[Taricus]

CG: I'd say the inn is more of a miscellanous service

[Ardas]

Thing I wanted to ask about cities and parcels in general: is there any difference between parcels (urban,industiral/commerical/rural) in terms of size? also, how many people live on an urban parcel or is it all handwaved and worked out on the spot? Because Ligoria has 3 urban parcels and something like 10 open parcels, despite the fact that Talama is the only city.

So either Talama is a sprawling urban slum or 3 parcels of urban are smaller than open land or by 3 parcels you mean a city + parcels adjacent and used to supply city with basic sustenance. also, wasn't Talama something like 85,000 people?

I know its all a game and can be simply ignored, but since we are asking questions like that I decided to ask this.

Service industry businesses don't have types (to date) they can just sponsor specialists. THe concept behind it is that the 1d spent is basically like advertisments and word of mouth to all the patrons looking for someone with the skills you need

Ardas:

Thats the thing. The 'land' is the only bs'd part of the system. But in terms of measurement? A parcel of land is as ambiguous of a measurement as a unit of manpower.

The problem is that grabbing more land has no real affect on the city itself. You cant expand without more resources, and you cant discover more resources after a while without a ridiculous investment (unless you start making state-run industrial businesses to produce resources)

So i have some math worked up that i'll post later tonight when things calm down at the house, but basically every 2 open land can be converted into 1 Urban land. Every 2 urban land = 1 free UP (which is population limits)

Total Swing:
4 lost open land, removes the .8 reduction to staple goods from peasants
1 UP increases the Staple demand

I guess the inn counts more of a commercial one then?

Micelus: You're not getting the 1.5 outrigger ducats due to the fact that a standard light warship can't hold two regiments...

[NUKE9.13]

I guess the inn counts more of a commercial one then?

What. No. Commercial businesses are banks and stuff.

The embassy/inn was created specifically for the housing, recruitment, and training of diplomats, spies, engineers, and whatever else the Hacturi need. It is a service business.

Really??? Well...I don't know what to type now. If I have an extra ship, then I can do something now. If I don't, well I just have to wait...Let's just wait for Nuke or CG to say something about it first, ok?

And I never imagined my ship as a full warship. More of a transport.

[Taricus]

Well, it was only listed as a base warship.

Of course, this means you and fil have about 4-5 ducats, plus the three from Ashton's debt.

Your business isn't going to exactly turn a profit for the next two years because of ashton by the way

[Shootandrun]

I have a few problems with the forums, sometimes I can't connect at all to the website... I might not be posting alot in the following days.

Also, what are the upgrades of William's regiment?

[filiusenox]

OH SHIT I FORGOT THAT. Eh...I'll do it in the spring.
They'll be heavy, disciplined, berserker, tactical regiment.
Or if I can't get that just heavy tatical berserker regiment.

Only two upgrades for an unit.
