The Linkboy

A link-boy (or link boy or linkboy) was a boy who carried a flaming torch to light the way for pedestrians at night. Linkboys were common in London in the days before the introduction of gas lighting in the early to mid 19th century. The linkboy's fee was commonly one farthing, and the torch was often made from burning pitch and tow.

Clearing the land assumes a group of 10 men working on the site.

Purchasing Land

Construction

Construction time is found by multiplying the production time by a PM (Production Modifier) that takes into account workforce and location. This gives you a figure that is in man/weeks. This figure can be divided by 7 to get the total weeks and the number is also used to reveal the men needed to do the job.

For an example we use a small wood building with the time of 8. If the modifier is 1 which is a prime site then no change in time and we divide 8 by 7 for 1 weeks. This assumes our workforce is 8 men involved in the wood building.

Use the Castle on the Moors example for a breakdown of the math.

Stronghold Space: An abstract measure of volume within a building. While stronghold spaces don’t have a fixed size, an average stronghold space is equivalent to a 20-foot-by-20-foot room with a 10-foot-hugh ceiling.

GREYHAWK PLOTS

Although there is no standard definition, the typical plot of land in Greyhawk stands at around 100 ft x 100 ft = 30 m x 30 m = 10,000 square feet = 900 square meters. In this case, a half plot can be considered to be 50 ft x 100 ft = 15 m x 30 m = 5000 square feet = 450 square meters.

Depending on the states in question, there can be variations to the sizes of a plot: 18 m x 30 m (540 sqm) and 18 m x 36 m (648 sqm; Lagos) are also common plot sizes. This is why it is essential that you always request sizes in square meters, for such things as ease of comparison.

So a Stronghold Space at 20ft x 20 ft = 400 sq feet or 25 SS per plot of land.
