== Buildings and Workers == | |||
After the building is complete, all buildings that perform a function will need workers to be added in order to carry out the building's function. Buildings which only provide passive benefits, such as [[Decorations]], do not need workers. | |||
Mostly, workers can be added to individual buildings on that building's menu. The simplest way is for the player to click the small plus sign on the building menu, which adds the next available unemployed [[Villager]]. If there are [[Villagers]] of multiple [[Rank|Ranks]] available, the plus sign will add the Villager with the most appropriate Rank for the job in question. Alternatively, the player can click the empty worker square on the building menu to view a list of all villagers, and choose the one they want to add to the building. | |||
The Monastery is unique in this respect, in that players cannot assign workers to individual jobs within the Monastery. Instead, the player devotes Villagers to the Monastery as a whole, and game algorithms decide which job the new Novice should do within the Monastery. This mirrors the reality of medieval life, where secular lords had relatively little control over the inner workings of Monasteries. | |||

<gallery> | Some large modular buildings, known as Monuments ([[Tavern|Taverns]], [[Manor House|Manor Houses]], [[Monastery|Monasteries]] and [[Keep|Keeps]]) can contain sub-buildings which allow the same building to carry out multiple functions. For example, in the Manor House players can build a Great Hall, [[Tax Office|Tax Offices]], a [[Bailiff's Office]], [[Watchpost|Watchposts]], and [[Treasury|Treasuries]]. Players can also build Free Build sub-buildings in any of these buildings, which allow the player to add building parts for aesthetic reasons, without making any change to the capacity of functions of the building. | ||
A new sub-building can be added at the bottom left of the building's build menu, where the player can also see a list of existing sub-buildings. Using the cog button next to each sub-building, the player also has the option of switching the function of that sub-building, which essentially changes it to a different sub-building. In some cases, some parts of the sub-building may be deleted as part of the change, if that sub-building uses unique building parts. For example, the [[Castle]] sub-building in the [[Keep]] uses some unique main building parts, which will be deleted if the player changes the function from Castle to, for example, [[Barracks]]. <gallery> | |||
