Rules for Kingdom Building
A town has three attributes that describe the wellness of the kingdom, economy, defense and stability.
Economy
Economy represents the overall wealth created by its populous. The higher the economy modifier, the more money can be made. Each time an economy check is rolled, if the roll is lower than the DC, then the government is in debt. Additional money can be pulled from the economy bank or points can be purchased for 2000 sp per. If the roll fails, the difference is added to the stability DC.
If the roll is higher than the economy DC, the difference can be added to economy store.
The economy score initially starts at 0.
Every 5 families cause -1 economy.
Economy checks are rolled four times a year. The DC for economy is 15 + 1/(25 families).
Defense
Defense represents the areas general readiness against threats. The higher the defense modifier the more prepared the area is. Defense rolls are made when there is a threat against the region. If you fail the roll, the players must deal with the threat or the region will experience significant issues. Dealing with the issue can mean hiring mercenaries, call on other parts of Corkith to deal with the issues or the players can actually attempt to handle the issue. If you succeed at the roll, existing defense preparation is enough to handle the issue without additional effort.
The defense modifier starts at 0.
The defense DC is 10 + 1/(25 families) + threat.
Stability
Stability represents the overall happiness and whether they have enough resources to live in an area. The higher the stability modifier, the more content the populus. If the roll is lower than the DC then residing families want to leave. Whether families can join your region or leave is up to the Dominus, however not allowing individuals to move in or leave can cause long term discontent and additional problems for the region. If the roll is higher than the DC then additional families want to move into your region (equal to the difference rolled).
Each homeless family causes a -1 to stability.
Fiend attacks, problems with bandits, better trade and general happiness can all affect the overall stability of the community.
Stability checks are rolled four times a year. Stability modifier starts at 0. To stability 15 + 1/(25 families).
Physical Defenses
Walls can be placed on the edge of any structure. A wall is only effective if it completely encircles an area and contains a gate. Any structure outside of a wall is susceptible to being destroyed should an invasion occur.
