Hex improvements: * = Cannot share a hex with another improvement with * (Q) = Benefits from Quarries (L) = Benefits from Logging Mills
Aqueduct (Q) An Aqueduct brings water from alpine lakes and rivers to lowland cities where water is scarce or insufficient for the local populace. A finished series of Aqueduct hexes must connect to a hill or mountain hex (with a river or lake) on one end and a settlement on the other end; otherwise, you do not gain its benefit. Terrain: One end must be hill or mountain hex; can pass through any type of hex. Effect: Stability +1, Loyalty+1 (eliminating lack of water penalties essentially), allows settlement to build water-dependent buildings. Cost: As a Road, except the cost is not doubled for hexes with rivers (see Table 4–6: Terrain and Terrain Improvements on page 214). • Prerequisites: Settlement must have a water shortage penalty in order to gain the benefits.
Bridge (Q) A Bridge allows your Road hexes to cross rivers. Cost: When you build a Road in a hex that contains a river, the doubled coast of the Road includes the cost of bridges needed to cross the river. You don’t need to build a Bridge as a separate unit; it’s listed here for reference only.
Canal (Q) A Canal is an artificial waterway that allows barge traffic to haul heavy commodities. Terrain: Desert, hill, or plain. Must connect between two bodies of water. Effect: Settlements in a hex with a Canal treat the hex as if it had a river. Cost: Twice the cost of a Road (see Table 4–6: Terrain and Terrain Improvements on page 214).
Farmland* You can develop farmlands to help sustain your kingdom's consumption. • Costs and Benefit: It costs 2 BP to build farmland in a grassland hex and 4 BP in a hill hex. Every farmland hex in your kingdom normally reduces your kingdom's consumption by 2 (or by 1 during winter months). You can sell any excess Farm / Fishery production at a rate of 1 BP per 4, or 1 per 2 during winter. • Prerequisites: Farmlands can be built in any grassland or hill hex.
Fishery* A Fishery is like a Farm, except it provides abundant fish rather than planted crops.
Terrain: Coastline, water, river, or marsh. Effect: Consumption decreases by 1 BP. Cost: 4 BP.
Fort (Q) A structure that protects strategic points. It can also serve as a garrison for an army in the field (reducing army maintenance costs). • Costs and Benefits: It costs 24 BP to build a Fort. A fort gives stability modifier +2 and reduces unrest by 1. • Prerequisites: Forts can be built in any hex containing a road or river. • Special: If attacked, forts have a defense modifier of +4. If a town is built in a hex with a fort, the town automatically gains a guard tower and palisade wall. A Watchtower can be upgraded to a fort for 12 BP.
Highway (Q) A highway is a paved and well-maintained version of a Road. You may upgrade a Road into a Highway. You must have a kingdom of Size 26 or greater to build a Highway. Terrain: Any hex with a Road. Effect: Economy +1 for every 4 hexes of Highway, Stability +1 for every 8 hexes of Highway; improves overland travel speed (Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook 172). Cost: Twice the cost of a Road (see Table 4–6: Terrain and Terrain Improvements on page 214).
Knight's Estate (Q) You can establish estates to support knights or other military retainers pledged to your service. • Costs and Benefit: It costs 8 BP to build a knight's estate in a grassland hex and 10 BP in a hill hex. For each estate in your kingdom, increase your stability modifier +1. • Prerequisites: Estates can be built in any grassland or hill hex with farms. Requires a willing vassal. • Special: Estates negate the consumption reduction the farmland in the hex provides. Estates can provide elite armies to your kingdom that do not require as much outside support. Rules for raising and maintaining armies are beyond the scope of this ruleset, but will be provided later.
Logging Camp* (W) You can establish logging camps in forests to supply your kingdom with timber. A logging camp is situated in a single hex, but it supports logging in adjacent hexes. • Costs and Benefit: It costs 6 BP to build a logging camp. 1 BP discount for any single wood-based development, ship or building per month. A development can be up to halved in cost this way. • Prerequisites: Logging camps can only be built in forest hexes with a road or river, requires 4 adjacent woods hexes and may not be adjacent to another Logging camp.
Mine* You can establish mines in hills or mountains to supply your kingdom with base metals such as iron, tin and copper. • Costs and Benefit: It costs 9 BP on the hills and 12 BP on the mountains to build a mine. Each generates automatic income of 1-5 BP. • Prerequisites: Mines can only be built in hill or mountain hexes with a road or river. A hex must be
assayed by a person with at least +5 Knowledge (Engineering) or Profession (Miner) (DC25) to determine whether it is suitable for a mine. Only about 20 percent of the hill or 30 % of the mountain hexes in the Stolen Lands are suitable. Mine Resources Table: (D100) Resource

Orchard / Vineyard* You can grow fruit for your kingdom in orchards and grapes for wine in vineyards. • Costs and Benefit: It costs 6 BP to plant an orchard. Each orchard increases your economy modifier by +1. On a hex with a special fruit or berry resource, the orchard additionally generates automatic income of 1 BP. • Prerequisites: Orchards can only be planted in hexes with a road or river. • Special: An orchard planted at the site of an existing bee yard only costs 3 BP.
Quarry* You can establish quarries in hills or mountains to supply your kingdom with stone. • Costs and Benefits: It costs 8 BP to build a quarry. Each quarry gives you a 1 BP discount for any single stone-based development or building per month. A development can be up to halved in cost this way • Prerequisites: Quarries can only be built in hill or mountain hexes with a road or river. A hex must be assayed by a person with at least +5 Knowledge (Engineering) or Profession (Miner) to determine whether it is suitable for a quarry. Only about 5 percent of the hill hexes and 50 percent of the mountain hexes in the Stolen Lands are suitable.
Peat Cutting* You can cut peat in swamps to supply your kingdom with fuel. • Costs and Benefit: It costs 9 BP to build a peat cutting area. Each peat cutting generates automatic income of 1 BP. • Prerequisites: Peat can be cut only in swamp hexes with a road or river, and cannot be adjacent to another peat cutting. A hex must be assayed by a person with at least +5 Knowledge (Nature) or Profession (Miner) to determine whether it is suitable for a peat cutting. Only about 10 percent of the swamp hexes in the Stolen Lands are suitable.
Road You can build roads to speed communications throughout the kingdom, improving its economy and stability.
• Costs and Benefits: It costs 1 BP to build a road though a plains or hex. This cost increases to 2 BP in forests, 3 BP in hills and to 4 BP in swamps and mountains. If the road crosses a river, a bridge must be built—this doubles the road's cost unless there is already a bridge in the hex. For every 4 road hexes your kingdom controls, the economy modifier increases by +1. For every 8 road hexes your kingdom controls, the stability modifier increases by +1. • Special: Roads can be built in the same hex as other hex improvements. Roads also decrease travel time in your kingdom (as per normal Pathfinder rules).
Town Towns can host a variety of improvements that make your kingdom more sophisticated and effective. Your kingdom can, but does not need to, designate a town as its capital. • Costs and Benefits: It costs 2 BP to build a town in a grassland hex; 4 in a hills hex; 6 in a forest hex; 8 in a swamp hex; and 12 in a mountain hex. • Special: Town improvements can be built in towns for additional costs and benefits. The town's population affects the ability of PCs to buy and sell magic items and other services in the town; see the Town Characteristics table.
Watchtower (Q) A sturdy structure that serves as a guard post and lookout for danger. • Costs and Benefits: It costs 12 BP to build a watchtower. A watchtower gives stability modifier +1. • Special: If attacked, watchtowers have a defense modifier of +2. If a town is built in a hex with a watchtower, the town automatically gains a guard tower (and the watchtower is removed).
