Gnoll Buildings
The building rebalance is included in version 0.0.3, released 18 October 2026. 10 families have eight tiers each. Each two-tier pair requires the matching era study.
Placement and bonus scope
Building access follows province culture rather than ancestry alone. Ordinary castle, city, temple and tribal slots qualify unless a family adds a restriction below. Regional buildings replace some shared options; the construction tooltip shows your available choices.
Each row gives the total at that tier, replacing lower levels. Gold is paid for that step before modifiers. Holding effects apply locally; County effects apply to its county; Capital county means the duchy capital county, not every county in the duchy; Holder effects affect the building owner. Stationed bonuses affect regiments stationed at that holding, not the whole army. Negative construction time/cost, upkeep and travel danger are beneficial. Development growth is not an instant Development level.
