Buildings
The objective of
Westward II is to build a town that everyone wants to live in. To do
this, you must build a town that offers everything from housing,
employment, security and entertainment. Here you can find
descriptions of the various buildings available in the game, along
with additional requirements where applicable. |
|
|
Bank:
Nothing says prosperity
like a Bank, and nothing says Bank like a building with people
willing to take your money and keep it "safe". Your
Settlers can take out loans when they are short on
Gold, and Banks raise Town Happiness, but beware of raiding bandits!
They can smell Gold like TO smells the endzone.
