Town Upgrading Time? (Maybe Spoilers)

[Mr.$mith]

Hey just asking, how long does it take to fix and or do the building upgrades? I didn't seem to find any specific times in the second AP.

I assumed a month per upgrade from the date they decided to upgrade.

[Mr.$mith]

OOph that's a lot longer than I thought, I figured they were only suppose to take about a week or so per because of how "long" the AP is suppose to take, but a month is realistic for how expansive some of them are.

My party aced the Jubilee and got all the free upgrade money, so they kind of front-loaded the book with upgrade business. They spent about three months of in-game time in Meratt County.

Remember that they're paying people to perform the work, rather than doing it themselves, so multiple jobs can be done concurrently. The only requirement it that Basic improvements for a specific section must be completed before the Advanced one is.

While that is true, Stachys has a population of about 60 people, many of which already have day jobs. Even with Dame Crabbe's lent laborers, I just felt it would be unrealistic (I know, that's a terrible word in RPGs) for however many unemployed day laborers to simultaneously build a windmill, a bridge, a church, a new tavern, and several farms while also resurfacing the roads, re-finishing the buildings, and restoring the pump house in less than a couple of months, especially with medieval building techniques.

That said I did allow the jobs to be done simultaneously for the very reason you posted.

Workers don't have to be from Stachys, particularly specialists; there's a whole county to employ from. Just have to allow a little extra time for travelling. :)
