If you’ve picked the Clergy route, have decided to fulfill the service needs of your villagers, or wish to gain more Clergy Splendour and Influence, it’s best to set up a Monastery in your settlement. However, building a Monastery for the first time can be a challenge, but if you follow this guide, you’ll be able to do it with ease.

How To Build A Monastery

Monastery, like other primary buildings from the other factions,can be built in parts. You can set up a Monastery Great Hall as your monument afterhitting Progression level 12and unlocking it from the Progression menu. If you plan to build any buildings related to the Monastery, follow these steps:

Furthermore, if you want more Clergy Splendour and Influence, you may edit these buildings andadd decorative parts to them. These decorative parts that provide Clergy Splendourhave a tiny star icon on them.

While you can build any building from any faction, you won’t be able to build the Monastery Great Hall if you’ve already built a Great Hall belonging to the Kingdom or Labour Paths. Additionally, if you’ve built a Monastery Great Hall, you won’t be able to fulfill the requirements of the Kingdom and Labour Aspirations, which you have to select while setting up the map.

Different types of Monastery buildings have different requirements. For example, if you plan to set up a herb garden, you’ll need to place a production structure first, alongside a resource depot. You can check for these requirements by selecting a structure type from the Monastery building menu, and thenlooking at the bottom-right menu on the screen.

The parts that are required to build the building of your choice but have not been built yet will be shownwith a red exclamation mark on them. If you’ve already built the required parts, these icons will bemarked with a green check.

You can also freely modify the sub-buildings, even after finishing building the entire structure, by selecting the building and clicking on the ‘Edit Building’ button which has a hammer icon on it.
