| There are three different kinds of buildings you can build to provinces in Dominions 3. The Fortresses can be built by all commanders and they take a number of turn to be completed. Mages can build Laboratories where arcane research, rituals and forging takes place. Building one takes 1 turn of time. Priests can build Temples which spread your Dominion. This action takes 1 turn of time. | | There are three different kinds of buildings you can build to provinces in Dominions 3.

| Only one fortress, one laboratory, and one temple can be present in each province at any one time.

| ==Fortress== | | ==Fortress== |
| A fortress acts as a sort of garrison hub in the province where it is built, and has several uses:
| | In the fortress or army camp you will find all units present in the province. Here you can transfer troops to your commanders and give them battle |
| | orders. |
| | Commanders can build new fortresses in distant provinces. The fortress has several uses: |
|
| |
|
| * '''Supply depot''' - Total food supply is increased in the province per the fort's ''Supply Storage'' value. During a siege, this ''supply value'' also indicates the amount of food available to defenders before they start to ''starve''. | | *Supply depot - Food is collected from the countryside and transported from the fortress to nearby armies. |
| * '''Administration center''' - A percentage of ''Resources'' are gathered from neighboring provinces under friendly control equal to the fort's ''Administration Value'' (ie. an Admin of 50 gathers 50% of available production resources from each neighboring province for use at the fort). ''Note: it is thus possible to drain a province of all it's resources (ie. you will no longer be able to train ''any'' new troops there) if there are enough neighboring forts gathering resources.'' In addition, gold revenue in the province is increased by the Admin value as well. | | * Administration center - Resources and armorers are gathered in the fortress to produce weapons for the garrison. Resources of neighboring provinces under same pretender’s control can be used for producing more troops in the province of the fortress. There is also an increase in commerce in a province with a fortress and tax collectors have an easier time collecting taxes when the threat of the armed might of the nation is near. |
| * '''Recruitment center''' - Friendly fortresses are the only places where you are allowed to recruit your national troop types. Without a fort, only ''independent'' troop types can be recruited in a province. | | * Production center of the nation and allows you to recruit troops types of your own culture in the province. |
| * '''Military Defense''' - Forts can provide temporary safety for friendly troops if the rest of the province is overrun by enemies. Inside the safety of the walls, defenders can hold out under siege until the gates are breached or the food supply runs out. For an opponent to complete his conquest of the province, he '''must''' capture the fortress. To do this, he must besiege the fortress until the defenses are breached, and then storm it to kill all the defenders. Fortifications with higher defense values require more time and a larger besieging force to breach. In the meantime, any mage commanders inside the fort can still research, cast rituals and even summon magical allies. Defenders use up supplies each turn and start to starve if/when supplies run out. | | * Fortress - Inside the safety of the walls the brave will defend the heart of the province. For an opponent to conquer the province, he '''must''' capture the fortress. To do this, he must besiege the fortress until the defenses are breached, and then storm it to kill all the defenders. In the meantime, the defenders may starve. |
|
| |
|
| Note that the only units and commanders considered "outside" a friendly fort are those set to ''Patrol Province'' or ''Blood Hunt''. Only ''stealthy'' units can enter a friendly fort under enemy siege, while both ''stealthy'' and ''flying'' units can freely leave while under siege.
| | '''You can only build your national troops in a province with a fortress.''' |
| | |
| Commanders can build new fortresses in friendly provinces. '''The exact type of fortresses built is determined by the terrain in the province and your nation.''' Different nations sometimes have quite different preferences for which type of fort gets built where. The following table lists stats for the different fortress types. "Terrain Type" represents a generalization only, as each nation has slightly different preferences as to which fort to build on which terrain:

| Laboratories are centers for research, ritual casting and forging. They are also required in order to recruit mages. Sometimes labs can be ''discovered'' as special ''sites'', but mostly a lab must be built by a mage set to ''Construct Building > Lab''.

| Temples automatically trigger something called a ''Temple Check'' each turn.

The total number of friendly temples also increases the effectiveness of [[Dominions 3: The Awakening/Preach|preaching]] (every 5 temples raises the Pretender's current dominion by 1). [[Dominions 3: The Awakening/Blood Sacrifice|Blood sacrifice]] can only be performed in temples.
