[Chance]

In Meranthe, players can freely construct settlements and other buildings. This guide outlines what's available and the general coin cost, as well as what's expected of settlement leaders in terms of quality of roleplay and OOC conduct. 

Settlement Landmark
To found a settlement, you must have the available coin and a guild. Leaders and co-leaders of the guild will be able to freely decorate within the settlement radius, including custom props. They can also place buildings for a coin cost. You can upgrade the size of your settlement with the 'Upgrade Settlement' command for the coin cost of the higher radius.

Keep: 21x21 Radius, 50,000c

Castle: 31x31 Radius, 150,000c
Village: 41x41 Radius, 300,000c
Town: 51x51 Radius, 750,000c
City: 75x75 Radius, 3,000,000c
Kingdom: 101x101 Radius, 5,000,000c

Settlement Buildings
Buildings have an initial coin and maintenance cost. The latter is 100c and can be paid by interacting with the door (X key or click) by the other or co-owners. Buildings also come with their own lot which lets you exercise around the outdoor area.

Most buildings in the game are themed towards a particular faction, and only the official guild of that faction has access to the designs. But we also have a range of public options, and map editors can very easily add new templates for players to enjoy, or you can pick up the map kit and make a submission yourself. 

Watchtower
A watchtower can be constructed outside of a settlement but is linked directly to it. It grants scouting bonuses to members of the guild nearby it. Watchtowers can be freely destroyed by enemy combatants (a process that takes several hours and can be interrupted via defeat in combat). 

Public Buildings
Buildings that do not require a settlement. These are unique designs you'll encounter in the wild, such as a cottage or hut. There's only a limited quantity to avoid map clutter, and they're typically pricy to build.

Map Editors
These are trusted editors of the world. Map editors have a role that allow them to edit settlements freely, including custom props and décor. They're here to keep things tidy and advise players
