Facilities and their Functions
Your kingdom will be made up of various buildings known as "facilities."

Below are some examples of a few facilities.
| The Weapon Workshop/Outfitters | Here, you can create new items of equipment and improve existing ones, and if you carry out the right research, you can even unlock special skills that sleep within certain weapons and armor. |
|---|---|
| The Higglery | This facility allows you to bring new higgledies into being, and also to level up existing ones by feeding them their favorite treats. |
| The Spellworks | A magical workshop where new spells can be learned and leveled up. |
| The Barracks | A military institution where various tactics and techniques to help you succeed in skirmishes can be developed. |
| The Everyday General Store | A one-stop shop for all your medicinal and material needs. |
| Mining Camps, Bazaars, Farms, Ranches, etc. | These facilities will gather, grow, or otherwise produce various materials for you. These can then be used to level up higgledies, improve equipment, and earn you all kinds of other bonuses. |

Development Flow
1. Earn Kingsguilders
In order to build and level up facilities and carry out research, you'll first need to earn the kingsguilders it will cost to do so.
These will accumulate in your coffers as time passes in the game, and can be collected at any time. The higher your kingdom's influence, the more quickly kingsguilders will accumulate.
2. Build and Level Up Facilities
Select "Manage Your Kingdom" from the kingdom menu to find an empty plot and build a facility, or go to an existing facility to level it up, improving its capabilities, and opening up new research topics and other exciting features.
3. Assign Personnel
and Carry Out Research
In order to carry out their work, your various facilities will need to have personnel assigned to them. Different citizens are experts in different fields, meaning that some are better suited to specific assignments than others. Assigning the right person to the right place may add the IQ required to enable you to research a new topic, or the skills to gather or create entirely new materials.
The research you carry out and the items you produce will enable you to create new weapons and armor to help you on your adventure, and open up a whole range of other exciting possibilities.
