The Evolution Of Castles (TCG)

__TOC__
Every character's dream is to find a plot of land, in some area of the realm, and plant the foundations of his kingdom by building a castle or keep. But there are a number of vexing obstacles that will need to be hurdled before the dream can come true. The most obvious problem, and the one that will be paramount in the player's mind, will be acquiring enough revenue to build his castle.
In feudal England, castles were very expensive to build. A simple motte and bailey cost a local baron 700 English pounds, or more than seven hundred and fifty thousand gold pieces in game monetary terms. To build a large concentric castle cost more than 2000 English pounds or nearly two million gold pieces. Although the monetary needs may sound enormous, this aspect of the castle construction is one of the easier tests that will bare itself before the castle is finished.
