Building rates

[Outis]

Citizen soldier gather rates are decreased as they gain experience and upgrade to advanced and elite status. As I see, their building rates are not impacted, is this correct? And is this intentional?

It makes no sense to nerf the build speed. Soldiers in ancient times needed to know how to quickly set up a base camp, repair siege engines on the spot, etc. 

If anything, they should get a build speed buff with experience, but that wouldn't be balanced.

Dont get me wrong, i build/repair with my elite infantry, i just find it funny that they consider themselves too good to break stone blocks at the stone mine but see no problem laying the same blocks in the construction site . But yeah i see your point.

Think of it like this:

They are too important to chop wood and mine metal or stone. Their experience is much more valued in battle, so they are sent to battle more often by their superiors. Hence, lower gather rates to compensate for this historical truth. And since they spend more time on the field, doing repairs and building army camps, their build speed remains constant.

Building rates can vary a lot depending on location, materials, and labor availability. In some regions, rates are calculated per square foot or per square meter, while in others it’s based more on detailed estimates. From my experience, having a proper breakdown of costs (materials, labor, and overheads) makes it much easier to compare and negotiate. Using a reliable construction cost estimator also helps in getting a clearer idea of what’s reasonable before starting a project.
