I open the castles door. "This door really is small." beyond the door is a vast area of space which honestly looks bigger than the outside should allow. However I don't think it actually is. Seemingly everything past the door is made up of marble. Excluding the rather large grey stone taking up a large area in the middle of the castle. The stone looks almost exactly like a minecraft stone block, but rather over 3 times as tall as me and only a little under double my width.

I walk over to the stone and a blue screen pops up before me.

<Welcome to the upgrade and communication station Lord>

<This station is the hub of your future activites! But remember to take care of your summoning place as well!>

<Do you wish to learn about Upgrades, Building or Communication first?>

At the bottom of the screen two boxes appear.

<<Communication>> <<Upgrades>> <<Building>>

Without hesitiation I click on the upgrade button. The blue screen disappears and a green box replaces it.

<The upgrade system is the system which is used to increase the strength of currently constructed buildings within your domain.>

<The system can only use harvested resources that have been placed within an allocated storage area such as the Castle(Built), Vault(unbuilt) or labour camp(unbuilt)>

<You can only use resources within a domain they are a part of. Hence it is recommended that you do not expand domains through things such as teleporters.>

<Currently you can upgrade the Castle to Lvl 1 or the Summoning stone to Lvl 1.>

<Buildings which summon units require special resources to upgrade which are only attainable from the other inhabitants of this world.>

<The castle requires you to reach a certain strength of units as well as resources such as Wood, Stone or refined iron.>

<Other buildings will only require natural resources or refined versions of natural which can be gained through activities such as mining, logging or generation from resource nodes, for an upgrade. Unlike Summoning buildings however their levels are capped by the level of the current castle within the domain they are built within.>

<Certain upgrades will be locked behind having a specific amount, a specific type of monument or both.>

<There are unique buildings which can be built which break these rules being able to be levelled regardless of castle level or requiring other special items to be upgraded. As well as buildings which replace fundamental parts of the game.>

At the bottom of the green box a yellow textbox appears.

<Do you wish to view the Upgrade list, or would you like to learn about Building or take the communication tutorial first?>

<<Upgrade list>> <<Building>> <<Communication>>

I click on the building as soon as the prompt appears. The yellow and green text box disappear and a purple one replaces it. I guess it's good that each of these things are colour coded so that I don't have to think about them to hard when I access them.

<Welcome to the building tutorial here you will learn how to build buildings within your domain.>

<Inside of your domain buildings can be built either manually and then designated as such or through the use of the system. Manually built buildings can be stronger or weaker depending on size and integrity of the construction as compared with the system built constructions. Resource generation points can only be built by the system. However through certain conditions you may be able to produce more resources through the use of the natural aether.>

<There are many types of buildings. The first major one being defensive structures, whether that be walls, pitfall traps or sentry towers. There are many types of defensive structures each with their own unique advantages and disadvantages. You can currently build 1x Defensive Wall lvl 0.>

<The second type of building is a storage point. These types of buildings are used to store resources such that they can be accessed by the system or othewise used. In other automatic processes without needing to be physically transported to locations. You can currently build Lumber Storage yard lvl 0, Food Freezer lvl 0, Stone storage yard lvl 0, Water tank lvl 0, Vault lvl 0 and Unique chest lvl 0.>

<The third type of buildings is resource extraction points, these buildings allow resources to be gathered from the surrounding environment more easily. You can currently build the Farm lvl 0, Water purifying point lvl 0, Well lvl 0, Stone mine lvl 0, sand mine lvl 0 and fishing spot lvl 0.>

<Upon finding other resources buildings such as the Iron mine lvl 0, Refining room lvl 0, coal mine lvl 0, will become available if your race is allowed to access these materials.>

<The fourth type of building is resource generation points, these buildings generate resource from the aether directly into storage areas, they are generally less efficient then extraction points however they last indefinitely whereas extraction points have limits and become less efficient with time. Currently able to build, Stone Generation point lvl 0.>

<You will gain access to other resource generation points as you become more in tune with the aether in the environment as well as by levelling up the castle.>

<The fifth type of building is accomodation, many races require proper accomodation due to unique status of the species. Without proper accomodations these species will not spawn and instead other species on the rolling table will spawn instead.>

<Fae Accomodation types required, Unlived in home (Trow) Lived in home(Brownies, Boggarts, kobolds, Puca and Changelings), large water source (Mermaids, Nymphs, Selkie, Water Trow and Undine), Unique Chest (Leprechauns, Gnomes and [ERROR FAILED TO LOAD]) Marshlands (Will O' Wisps and Puca) and Highly Concentrated Fire Elements (Salamanders).>

<Creatures you can summon without accomodations, Banshee, Dryads, Dullahan, Elves, Gean-Canach, Leanan Sidhe and Pixies. As you build more summoning buildings or upgrade current buildings. If you can upgrade your current structure you will gain access to [FAILED TO LOAD]>

<You can currently build, Unlived in home lvl 0 and Unique Chest lvl 0.>

<The sixth type of building is workplaces, these buildings do not produce resources that can be used to upgrade residents of the domain through equipment, training or other such experiences. None currently available. Level up Castle to unlock more.>
<The seventh type of building is entertainment, these buildings do not produce resources or provide any sort of bonus to the inhabitants however they can increase the happiness of residents. None currently available. Level up Castle to unlock more.>

<The eight type of building is Unique buildings. These buildings have special effects which do not fit into other categories. Currently you only have access to [The Hall of Heroes].

<The final type of building is monuments. These buildings do not produce anything naturally however many beings will demand them when other units produce exceptional service as a form of meritorious reward. Failure to deliver on monuments is likely to decrease loyalty of residents in the domain. Monnuments cannot be upgraded.>

At the bottom of the readout a yellow textbox appears over the purple.

<Do you wish to view the Upgrade list, the Building list or Communication tutorial first?>

<<Upgrade list>> <<Building list>> <<Communication>>

After a few moments lost in thought I click on the Upgrade list I should at least get a feel for these two first since well they seem to be the current caps on things. A Green box replaces the purple one.

<Upgrade list>

<Castle lvl 0 -> Castle Lvl 1
<Requirements: 1000 units of wood, 1000 units of stone and 10 units of refined wood.>
<Effects of upgrade: Expands the domain by 10km's. The local inhabitants are more likely to discover your castle. The local inhabitants are more likely to voluntarily join your empire.>
<Upgrade unavailable due to insufficient resources.>

<Summoning Stone lvl 0 -> Summoning Stone lvl 1>
<Requirements: 100 units of stone, 100 units of monster essence, 10 Monster crystals.>
<Effect of upgrade: Increases the amount of summons per pull by 1. Increases the likelihood of getting a rarer version of the summon.>
<Upgrade unavailable due to insufficient resources.>

At the bottom of the screen a yellow box sits.
