Building Structures

Post by Mike Solli »

I've finally gotten some time to mess around with this game. (My long time WitP partner is out of the country for awhile with no internet access.) I'm working on the first turn and have my first question:

You need to build plantations or mansions to create more space at cities for further construction. I got that. The question is: do you need to use the last available space to build a mansion/plantation or can you build one with no space available?

Thanks,

Mike

You can build one with no space available.

There is a limit to the number of buildings you can eventually have though. No matter how many mansions/plantations you have. I think it is around 28.

Twenty-eight is correct.

Mike, good to see you back in these parts.

Hi Gil. I'm finally finding time to get into this game.

Is 28 buildings a change from the manual? Section 6.2, page 80 says 30.

Huh. Maybe it's 30 and not 28. If it was changed the readme file would say so. (It's been 2+ years since I had to know this sort of thing off the top of my head.)

I'm not sure it matters that much as the Southern player. Do most of you tend to build plantations or mansions? Plantations are definitely better but mansions are much quicker.

Funny thing is I cannot build anymore buildings in New York even though it shows I can. Must be a limit on some types I suppose.
