== Construction ==

Constructing buildings costs [[platinum]] and [[lumber]]. The formulas are below. 

Acres gained by [[Invading]] someone 75% or larger will be discounted. The discount starts at 50%. After Day 25, the discount grows by 2% each day until a maximum of 70% reduction is reached on Day 35.  
In addition, if you are invaded, lost buildings will give you the same discount. As of Round 18, these discounts do not stack.

=== Platinum cost ===
<code>(ExploredAcres - 250)*1.25 + 850 + ConqueredAcres</code>

=== Lumber cost ===
<code>(ExploreAcres-250)*0.285 + 87.5  + ConqueredAcres/4.25</code>


Bonuses from factories, techs, wonders, etc, are added together, to a maximum of -75%, before multiplying these cost formulas.

== Destroy Building ==

You can destroy buildings by going to the [https://beta.opendominion.net/dominion/destroy Destroy Buildings] page.
