DWARVES & MINING #6 – D&D MINING GUIDE

Buildings, Equipment, Infrastructures and Trade Goods

Previous Article…Dwarves & Mining #5 part 6 – D&D Mining Guide – The Settlement’s Events

This article is the last about the small pack of tips to build a mining settlement.

We present a sketch of what we call Buildings, Equipment, Infrastructures and Trade Goods.

Some explanation about each category is required.

Buildings

A building has a specific purpose and is usually related to a specific primary secondary stat, usually and not always. Buildings requires a Build action.

Equipment

A equipment affects directly the population and produce a positive enhancement in actions that are related to population. These effects include better mining output and better combat performance of your army. Equipment requires a Craft action.

Infrastructures

They may be well confused with buildings, however an infrastructure is something that involves and affects the whole settlement andits dwellers. An infrastructure usually has prerequisites, is more expensive than a building and its price rises according to your population. Infrastructures requires a Build action.

Trade Goods

These are stuff that can be produced and its list can be as large as your imagination. Trade Goods can be produced and traded for gold or resources. Trade Goods requires a Craft action.

Proposed buildings, equipment, infrastructures and trade goods

Below we present some, but not all the possible, stuff a settlement can make. Each entry includes the cost, the effect and the DC to build or craft (with the stat involved in the roll).

Conclusions

So, for now it’s all about the sketch to develop and run a mining settlement. Of course every section can be improved and expanded.
