Rules for Buildings
Buildings may add one trait point to a single character with the exception of military traits. Buildings can be upgraded by paying the difference between the tiers.
Tier I: 10,000
Tier II: 20,000
Tier III: 30,000
Tier IV: 50,000
Buildings may be whatever you want them to be. A forum, a theatre, a statue, a temple, an arena, a plaza.
A building takes one week to construct, at the end of which a thread should be posted in the City of Rome forum (or the appropriate location) establishing the structure as a place to meet. (if appropriate, a statue might simply be added to an already existing forum, for example, in which case its presence will be noted)
