The Cloister has unique building parts that can be used | |||
=== Building Parts === | |||
The Cloister has two groups of unique building parts (Rustic and Modest) which must be unlocked in the Clergy path of the [[Progression#Progression Tree|Progression Tree]]. Both groups include three pieces; Cloister Walkway, Cloister Corner and Cloister Entrance. These are not the only parts that can be used for a Cloister however; it can be constructed out of any Monastery building parts, so long as the following requirements are satisfied. | |||
The unique Cloister parts have sloping roofs. When these parts are used they must always be oriented so that the roof slopes inwards towards the inner garden/courtyard. | |||
=== Requirements === | |||
The Cloister must have at least one outer door, or be connected to another building which has an outer door. | |||
It must consist of at least 2 Cloister Hall (walkways and/or corners) parts and at least one Cloister Garden Entrance. The Cloister Garden Entrance is not the same as an outer door; this piece allows Monastics to enter the central garden/courtyard for reflection and meditation. | |||
The Cloister must completely enclose a space. This space acts as the inner garden, to which Monastics can go to reflect and meditate. | |||
This garden must have a minimum size of 50 cubic metres. In terms of unique Cloister parts, this means 12 walkway/entrance pieces and 4 corners. However each length of the Cloister must be at least 4 parts long (2 walkway/entrance and 2 corners); therefore a 5x5 configuration works, and a 4x6 also works, but a 3x7 configuration does not. | |||
The central garden can have a maximum area of 1000 cubic metres. In terms of unique Cloister Parts, this means 42 walkway/entrance pieces and 4 corners. However, only empty space within the courtyard is counted for this maximum. Therefore the player can make their Cloister larger if they decorate the inner courtyard with decorations or buildings; any space taken up by these decorations is effectively subtracted from the Cloister's area in the maximum area calculation. | |||
