this is a spot for people to post how they have changed there own kingmaker game with there own house rules, be it what some buildings do, new buildings, extra rules ect.
to get the ball rolling i will put in what i have done for my own game.
buildings
mageatoruom 60 bp, 3 major items, +4 econ +2 loyalty. half's cost of war mage collage.(balanced or fair more then likely not, came up with it on the fly in game)
war mage collage. 30 bp +2 stability +4 defense, allows the training of casters for your army, to work in a military unit.
dragon roost 24 bp. +2 econ +2 stability, allows the raising and training of dragons from eggs to mounted combatants, *note must ether have a dragon willing to let you have and raise its eggs or buy them*
flying invisible castle 160 bp. standard castle stats +4 loyalty. players wanted it so let them build it. it also has invisible purge inside of it. does not so much fly as levitate up and down.
i added in research for buildings, much like how casters can research how to make or cast new spells, i had the players research how to make new buildings. for my game i had some buildings give research points each month that would go to the total amount of research needed to learn how to make a building, buildings are and how many research points they give are ; library 1, casters tower 3, academy 5, and magetoruom 8. i also let the research go faster by putting in bp on a one for one basis for research. example a building the players want to research would cost 15 bp they have buildings that would give them 10 research but don't want to wait till next turn to finish it off, so they put in 5 bp and finish off the research.
allow the recruitment of non standard races for leadership positions, ie monsters, gives a +4 unrest, might be higher or lower for what kind of monster you are putting in power. ie orc would give less unrest then a evil dragon would. but still following having to make them friendly first.
adding in small buildings that are meant for the farm hex's like a school house, a Doctor, druid hut, ect limit being 1 of such buildings per hex being built each turn. you pick out what sounds right for your group for bounes but each one should not be that big.
talking to the players about what there nations rules will be, who would be allowed to live in the kingdom or city, would monsters like kobolds be let in. what are the holy places dedicated to is it on god many just all of them ect. just stuff to make the kingdom feel more real then numbers for you as dm and for the players.
an odd one, but giving a hex to druids and not touching it and have them return the favor some how, i gave the players each farm gave them a total of 3 reduction to consumption*for plant growth*, or a -2 bp cost for buildings*from stone shape*. the druid hexs will go up in size as the size of the kingdom goes up.
cost of army of spell casters going up 1 bp for each spell level they can cast. made a few test army's and none can stand up to the mage army so it will have a higher cost because mages are not cheap.
using the game master guides city making guideline and its rules, but if the highest level casting a city can do is 9th level or higher just have that be a ritual where lower level caster join together to cast such spells, taking lots of time and the one in the lead of the ritual has to have a npc feat for it.
the building limit be for district rather then for the kingdom per turn.
that is all i can remember for now, well that can apply to other peoples games at least.
What we use so far (I have two groups, but only one has begun kingdom building):
Explored hexes will show terrain for 2 hexes in all directions with the following exceptions:
Forest hexes only allow for 1 hex visibility.
Mountains show up three to four hexes away from an explored hex and will also give the same benefit of visibility if explored.
As the players are now lvl 8 and in the tomb of part 3, they'll be able to pay for having hexes explored. 2bp for 4 hexes or 4bp for 8 per month. If there's something interesting there it will either be taken care of or just reported to the players, depending on the situation. These hexes must be next to hexes that are already explored. Currently debating on whether to increase the cost depending on how far from their own borders the hexes are.
Also changed how the owlbear could damage buildings in RRR. Considering its strength is "only" in the lower 30s, having it able to level several blocks of buildings (not to mention a city wall had there been one there) was just unreasonable. Instead I had it do (1d4+2)*3BP (2*3BP if they made their save) worth of damage subtracted from their BP pool.
Winter is a major deal in my campaign.
During the months of Kuthona, Abadius, and Calistril (i.e. December thru February) economy rolls are divided by 10 rather than the normal 5 when generating income.
I used the weather for Portland Maine to make exploring during winter more fun. The fight at the Stag Lord's fort took place during a snowfall and the party got "trapped" in the fort with a borrowed cart full of supplies from Oleg. The party has also had a few fights while wearing snowshoes.
I'm also changing the magic item selling rules to be +3/+8/+15 bonuses added to the economy if the economy roll is passed during the income phase.
While not "houserules", I've also added 2 high level NPCs to the area to act as foils to my party (2 paladins, rogue, druid, witch). The first is a CE Wizard, a practitioner of soul magic, deep in the woods who wants to be left alone. The second is a NG Ranger who is a Pathfinder. The players think pathfinders enter kingdoms and steal all the magic items hidden in their ruins. The Ranger saved the party from a TPK after a stupid decision early in the campaign. I plan to reveal she's a Pathfinder and what she's up to sometime in module 4.

I'm re-arranging the Events table to put Bad Events as lower rolls and Good Events higher )but keeping the same percentages for each event. This allows me to say, impose a 5% penalty on these rolls to make bad things more likely if the rulers do dumb things that don't quite fit into a penalty to Unrest, Economy or Stability.
Also, I'm inverting the ruler's ability to affect the different scores. At Barony, he can influence all three, while Kingdom he can only affect one. This simulates the fact that it's harder for one person to influence multiple areas of a larger community, and makes the PC's rely on their officeholders more as time goes by.

Here it is... finally! Houserules(or House Rules)for Kingmaker's Kingdom Building, including custom buildings and a few changes to existing building.
I invite any and all feedback - positive or otherwise - and am willing to provide further information when asked for it. I/we hope you enjoy.

Credit where credit is due to other messageboard posters I and my players have shamelessly “borrowed” from, and to the creative staff responsible for Pathfinder. 3.5 THRIVES!
______________
Note 1: Military buildings such as Fort, Watchtower, Barracks, Garrison, Castle, and Citadel are built for housing military units. As a house rule, each military building is able house an army unit of the listed size; units cannot be recruited without such a building. The cost of recruiting the army unit is included in the cost of the building – upkeep costs are paid monthly thereafter. A Garrison, for example will hold a Medium sized army (100 soldiers). The soldiers are recruited, housed, outfitted with basic field kit, and are treated as a Level 1 Medium Army, thereafter. Training and peace-time maintenance increase the cost of the unit. Peace-time unit upkeep equals ½ the unit level per month; War-time pay is as per Kingmaker rules.
NOTE 2: Building which REPLACE others, stack any listed benefits, except as per Note4; these improvement must be used on existing an existing structure.
NOTE 3: When multiple buildings reduce the cost of construction of other structures, the cost modifiers are not cumulative, and do not stack. A city may benefit from cost reductions on a single building only once.

some army and mass combat rules from Jason Nelson. did not know how to do the tag to do this normally. but here it is.
Some modified mass combat rules I just sent around to my players. I added in a few bits about Barracks and Garrisons, armies in reserve vs. armies in the field, and some utility for the Profession (soldier) skill and Leadership feat. See what you think. Happy reading!
RAISING AN ARMY: You can raise an army in any city that has a Barracks or Garrison. A Barracks can raise an army up to size Medium; raising a larger army requires a Garrison. Each Barracks or Garrison can raise only one army per turn. As a "kingdom action," raising an army replaces constructing a building, so you can only raise as many armies in a turn as you are allowed for your kingdom size.
Raising an army requires a Loyalty check with a penalty equal to twice the CR of the army you want to raise. If the check succeeds, you spend BP equal to twice the army's CR and the army is created. If the check fails, you spend BP equal to intended army's CR but the army is not raised. However, if you attempt to raise an army from the same Barracks or Garrison on your next kingdom turn, you gain a +4 bonus to your Loyalty check.
MAINTAINING AN ARMY: Armies cost consumption each WEEK that they are kept in the field, or each MONTH that they are kept in reserve. An army can always be created in one place and moved to another location to be placed in reserve there. It is considered to be in the field while moving its base of operations and must pay that consumption for that week, but if it reaches its destination in less than a week, it can be treated as being in reserve and must pay consumption only once more for the remainder of the month. To be kept in reserve, an army must be housed in one of the following buildings, each of which can host an army of the following size.
Watchtower: One Small or smaller army.
Barracks: One Medium or smaller army.
Castle: One Large or smaller army.
Garrison: One Huge or smaller army.
A Gargantuan or Colossal army cannot be kept in reserve, it must remain in the field.
An army's base consumption is equal to half its CR (rounded down, minimum 1), paid at the beginning of each week (or month). If you don't pay, its morale goes down by 2; if it hits -5, the army disbands. If an army disbands from lack of pay, your kingdom suffers a permanent -2 penalty to your kingdom's Stability, Economy, and Loyalty. So don't do it. It's bad. :)
LEADING AN ARMY: Each army must have a designated leader. A leader with a good Profession (soldier) skill and/or the Leadership feat can assist the army's performance on the battlefield. An army's leader can be a PC or an NPC, but must spend at least 3 days per WEEK (if the army is in the field) or per MONTH (if the army is in reserve, see below), or the army suffers a -1 penalty to Morale. This penalty accumulates each week or month the leader fails to show up. If the army's morale drops to -5, it disbands as noted above. The leader can alleviate this penalty by simply showing up the required amount of time; each week or month he does so, the penalty is reduced by 1. The penalty can also be reduced by 1 each week or month by doubling the army's consumption.
EQUIPPING AN ARMY
Your army starts out with typical melee-focused gear. You can, however, beef them up by buying additional stuff for them when they are created. The noted extra buildings are required in the city where the army is created.
Healing Potions (10 BP, +5 consumption after every battle, requires Alchemist or Magic Shop): Up to twice during a battle, you can forgo attacking to heal your army hit points equal to twice their CR.
Improved Armor (3 BP, +1 consumption, requires Smith): +1 DV.
Improved Weapons (5 BP, +1 consumption, requires Smith): +1 OM.
Magic Armor (15 BP, +3 consumption, requires Smith and Caster's Tower or Magic Shop): +2 DV.
Magic Weapons (50 BP, +5 consumption, requires Smith and Caster's Tower or Magic Shop): +2 OM.
Mounts (BP = mount's CR, consumption = mount CR + rider CR (not halved), requires Stable): +2 OM and DV, and use the mounts' speed for the army. The army's CR is determined by the mount's CR if it is higher than the rider's.
Ranged Weapons (2 BP, +1 consumption): The army can act in the ranged combat phase.
Siege Engines (15 BP, +5 consumption, requires Exotic Craftsman): +2 OM. For every siege engine in the army (you can buy more than one, which does not increase the OM bonus above), you reduce the enemy's bonus to DV from fortifications by 1d4 each round of the melee phase. Army's speed is halved (minimum 1).
MASS COMBAT
Really, it's very simple. There can be a few modifiers for favorable or especially familiar terrain, an ambush situation, or fighting inside fortifications, but pretty much it goes like this. There are very few rolls:
Offense Check:
Add: 1d20 + your OM + 1 per 5 ranks of Profession (soldier) of the attacking army's commander
Subtract: The target's DV - 1 per 5 ranks of Profession soldier of the defending army commander
Equals: Damage to the defending army.
If you roll a natural 20, you inflict 1 extra point of damage (or 1 point, even if your total roll is less than the target's DV).
If you roll a natural 1, your army can't make an Offense check next round.
If you have the Leadership feat, you can spend action points to affect your army's Offense checks.
Morale: 1d20 + the army's morale score + 1 per 5 ranks of Profession (soldier) of the army's commander.
If you have the Leadership feat, you can add their Charisma bonus to morale checks and use action points to affect Morale checks.
TACTICS PHASE: Each side decides what tactics it's going to use. Combat is simultaneous, but the leader on each side makes a Profession (soldier) skill check. Whoever rolls lowest declares their tactics first and declaring tactics continues in order. You can change your one 'step' in either direction each round, but changing them more than one step requires a DC 20 Morale check; if failed, the army's strategy stays what it was the previous round.
1. Defensive (+4 DV, -4 OM, -6 damage)
2. Cautious (+2 DV, -2 OM, -3 damage)
3. Standard (no mods)
4. Aggressive (-2 DV, +2 OM, +3 damage)
5. Reckless (-4 DV, +4 OM, +6 damage)
RANGED PHASE: Usually this only lasts 1 round as armies approach. If you have ranged attacks, you get to attack. If you don't, you don't.
MELEE PHASE: This phase continues one round at a time until one side's armies retreat or are destroyed. Combat is simultaneous, so it's possible for two armies to destroy each other.
DEFEAT: If the army's hit points drop to equal to or less than its CR, make a Morale check or the army breaks and runs. The opposing army gets a free Offense check against it before they escape. If an army is dropped to 0 hit points, it is destroyed, and your kingdom suffers a penalty to Stability, Economy, and Loyalty checks equal to half the army's CR (minimum -1). If the army escapes, its hit points reset to equal its CR but it cannot fight again unless you make a Loyalty check on your kingdom's next Upkeep phase (so you can only try to revive routed units once per month, though you can do it for as many routed armies as you have anywhere in the kingdom).
VICTORY: If you win, your army's hit points remain where they are and you can make a Loyalty check to allow your army to learn a new Tactic (see below) and improve its morale by +1.
RECOVERY: An inactive army heals hit points equal to its CR each day of total rest (no movement and no combat). If you have the Leadership feat, you can attempt a Loyalty check at the end of each day, whether your army is resting or not, to restore hit points equal to the army's CR.
