Lighthouse
| Costs per point of size: | 2 stones, 1 wood, 1 iron, 100 Silver |
| Skill required: | 3 |
| Maintenance per turn: | 100 Silver |
| Maximum size: | none |
| Capacity: | 4 units |
| Size | Perception | Visibility |
| 10 | 3 | 1 |

- Beginning from size 10, a lighthouse reduces the possibility that a ship drifts off. This effect extends 1+ log10(size of the lighthouse) regions around the building.
- The lighthouse gives the occupants (only up to 4 units) information about ship sightings in all ocean regions within a radius of 1 + log10(lighthouse size) regions. The unit must have a perception of at least distance * 3. A report from an ocean region three hexes away can only be obtained if the lighthouse is at least size 100 and the unit has at least perception 9.
| E3A | You don't need perception to use a lighthouse. |
Mine
| Costs per point of size: | 5 stones, 10 wood, 1 iron, 250 Silver |
| Skill required: | 4 |
| Maintenance per turn: | 500 Silver |
| Maximum size: | none |
| Capacity: | 1 person per 1 size |
- Only half of the iron mined by units inside the mine is deducted from the region's supply. This effect works cumulatively together with any corresponding racial advantages.
- Units inside a mine extract as they have +1 on their mining skill, but it doesn’t apply to the mining level needed to reach a deeper layer.
- To produce laen you must be inside a mine.
Examples:
- A human with mining 2 can mine 3 iron from layers 1 or 2 if they are in a mine. Because of rounding, 2 iron are deducted from the region deposit. Two humans may mine 6 iron and only 3 are deducted.
- 10 dwarves mine 60 iron in a region. Because of their racial benefit, only 36 are deducted from the region deposit. If they are in a mine, only 18 iron will be deducted. If there are only 9 iron left in the region, they can of course online mine 15, or 30 iron, respectively.
Quarry
| Costs per point of size: | 1 stone, 5 wood, 1 iron, 250 Silver |
| Skill required: | 2 |
| Maintenance per turn: | 250 Silver |
| Maximum size: | none |
| Capacity: | 1 person per 1 size |
- Only half of the stone mined by units inside the mine is deducted from the region's supply. This effect works cumulatively together with any corresponding racial advantages.
- Units inside a quarry extract as they have +1 on their Quarrying level, but it doesn’t apply to the mining level needed to reach a deeper layer
Example: 10 trolls produce 40 stones in a region. Due to the special ability of the trolls the supply of the region is only reduced by 30 stones. If the trolls are inside a quarry, the supply will be reduced by 15 Stones. If there are only 7 stones left in the region, the trolls can only produce 9 stones but 18 in a quarry.
Sawmill
| Costs per point of size: | 5 stone, 5 wood, 3 iron, 200 Silver |
| Skill required: | 3 |
| Maintenance per turn: | 250 Silver |

- Only half of the wood/saplings/mallorn produced by units inside a sawmill is subtracted from the supply in the region. This number is rounded up (i.e. if a unit, in a sawmill, makes 11 woods, 6 trees are cut).
- Units inside a sawmill get a +1 modifier to their forestry skill.
Example: With water of life you can create wood with a sawmill. With USE 1 water~of~life you can create 10 saplings using 10 wood. You can then immediately cut them with a sawmill, producing 20 wood.

- Units inside a stable can reproduce horses by using the order GROW HORSES. For this the unit needs the skill Taming and at least 2 horses (in its possession).
- The chance to breed horses corresponds to the unit's skill. In addition, the unit has several attempts according to his skill. If a unit is T5, he has 5 attempts at 5% each to breed a horse.
