Editing Buildings

== Information ==

Buildings are the backbone of your [[dominion]] and provide you with [[production]] and various bonuses.

All constructed buildings except for Homes and Barracks provide 20 jobs and which are automatically filled by unemployed peasants. During construction all buildings provide 15 population. All constructed buildings except for Homes and Barracks provide 15 raw population.  See [[population]] for explanation on the difference between raw and modified population.

Buildings can only be [[#Construction|constructed]] on acres of [[Land#Barren|barren]] [[Land|land]]. Buildings cost [[Production#Platinum|platinum]] and [[Production#Lumber|lumber]], and require 1 acre of barren land. The [[#Construction|cost]] in platinum and lumber increases depending on your total land size.

Each building can only be built on a specific [[Land#Types|land type]]. The land type for each building is always the same, except for '''Homes''', which depends on your [[race|race]].

All buildings take 12 hours to build. You can instantly [[#Destroy_Buildings|destroy buildings]].

== 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.

Destroying a building is immediate and frees up one acre of the corresponding land type.
