Freehold buildings

After you build your house, you can build other buildings on your Freehold. Each building needs the blueprint to start the process. If you have a cosmetic skin you want to use on a building, this is used after placing the blueprint. Once this has been placed, the building will be shown in a non-functional, construction state. Players will need to provide the required materials needed to complete the building construction, for each building on their Freehold. No Freehold has room for every possible option, so players will need to choose how to develop their Freehold by choosing to build specific artisan buildings, business buildings, and creating room for livestock and crops.^[3]

Freehold buildings that can be placed on a freehold plot serve three main purposes.^[3]^[2]^[4]^[5]^[6]

Freehold buildings require blueprints and materials to construct.^[3]^[8]

Sheds are present on empty freehold plots to provide storage for materials needed to construct freehold buildings.^[9]
Some freehold buildings have multiple tiers, with different footprint sizes.^[2]^[10]
Upgrading a tier will not change the size of the building in terms of footprint, but may increase in height.^[10]
Basements in freehold buildings are to be decided.^[11]

Freehold taxes are calculated based on the number of permits issued for buildings on a freehold.^[3]^[12]^[13]^[14]^[15]

Buildings that require permits will have additional upkeep costs.^[3]

Freehold building architecture is based on the blueprint for the building.^[2]^[16]

Freehold skins are applied to blueprints matching the type of building: housing, artisanship, and business.^[3]^[2]^[17]^[18]^[16]^[19]
- The vast majority of cosmetic freehold skins are used for the homestead.^[4]
The freehold building blueprints must be obtained in-game first before the cosmetic can be applied.^[16]^[19]^[18]
Players are not locked to the racial appearance of a freehold building blueprint.^[20]

The way we look at it is the freehold is your space so we want you to be able to make it look the way you want it to.^[16] – Jeffrey Bard

Birtok épületek is felszintezhetőek, az eltelt idő és a birtok aktivitása alapján.^[21]

A birtok fejlődés új bónuszokat és lehetőségeket tesz elérhetővé.^[21]

We want there to be progression in many systems and part of the freehold progression is that when you establish these base buildings the longer and more productive you are and exist with that freehold, the more opportunity those buildings will have to both level up: offering new bonuses, new abilities, new capabilities; and just surviving in this world is a feat in and of itself, so it's rewarded by allowing progression with those things.^[21] – Steven Sharif

A kocsmák osztályokra bontott szolgáltatásokat biztosítanak:^[24]

Küldetések, amik csak játékos birtokában lévő kocsmákban elérhetőek.
Étkek, amik buff-okat adnak bizonyos ideig.
Receptek, amiket szakács mesterek megvennének, és csak játékos birtokában lévő üzletekből megszerezhetőek.

Minél tovább van nyitva egy kocsma, és minél több vendéget lát el, annál gyorsabban lép szintet.^[24]

After you build your house, you can build other buildings on your Freehold. Each building needs the blueprint to start the process. If you have a cosmetic skin you want to use on a building, this is used after placing the blueprint. Once this has been placed, the building will be shown in a non-functional, construction state. Players will need to provide the required materials needed to complete the building construction, for each building on their Freehold.^[3]

Freehold building skins were offered as Kickstarter and Nyári crowdfunding rewards and were available in pre-order packs.^[17]^[26]^[27]^[28]^[29]

Freehold building skins can also be achieved in-game.^[30]

Freehold building cosmetics cannot be sold or traded with other players.^[31]^[17]

Freehold skins can be applied to blueprints matching the type of freehold building: housing, artisanship, and business.^[3]^[30]^[2]^[17]^[18]^[16]^[19]
- These blueprints must be obtained in-game first before any cosmetics can be applied.^[32]^[16]^[19]^[18]
- Freehold skins sold prior to the release of applicable in-game building-types will be able to be exchanged for embers via the account backend.^[3]^[33]

Cosmetics that we have sold as part of different packs throughout the past- our pre-order system: Those cosmetics are split into three primary categories: housing, artisanship, and business; and we will have a breakdown that we're going to be releasing of the cosmetics that have come previously and which categories they exist in, but players will have the option to override the appearance of a blueprint that exists within one of those categories with an associated cosmetic skin; and that is obviously not just something that can be purchased through the pre-order system, but also can be achieved in-game as well- our cosmetics that can be applied to specific building types. And we don't get as granular where, let's say, you might have a shrine cosmetic, and you have, let's say, a blacksmith building that you wouldn't be able to apply the shrine to the blacksmith building. If the shrine exists in the artisanship lane you can apply it to any artisanship type building, but not to a house or business. so giving a little bit of additional context there.^[30] – Steven Sharif

The vast majority of cosmetic freehold skins apply to homestead buildings.^[4]

Family members are able to apply their cosmetics to freehold buildings, if permitted.^[32]

A planned feature may allow multiple buildings to be replaced by a single large cosmetic skin.^[34]

Cosmetics that are are very large in size- we will have a system that's not been developed yet, but we've been planning for this: we'll have a system where multiple buildings can be occupied space-wise by the larger cosmetic. So, a cosmetic might replace the visual appearance of one particular building, but then you'll be able to have that footprint occupy multiple buildings to replace the visual appearance. So that way you're still utilizing the similar amount of space.^[30] – Steven Sharif
