Foreign aid keeps us alive. But after almost 100 days still not being able to have at least one recruitment centre of your own and a blacksmith. That is the bare minimum any realm should have.
We are using it, only due to the lowered production, we do not acquire new recruits at the same rate as other regions/realms. And while the building exists, we are paying for its maintenance. If there are not enough people to maintain the building, how could we have constructed it in the first place?
If you have a large manor, but are only utilising a few rooms, then without a regular and extensive maintenance program it is likely those rooms will fall into disrepair. The damage may be so significant that it would cause structural damage to the rest of the building. If you MUST have a RP reason for something that is place for game balance reasons, then perhaps something along those lines will suit. Building and Maintenance are two very different task by the way. Building is a finite task, after which the work force can be tasked to other jobs. Maintenance is ongoing. It is quite plausible to be able to build something and then find you cannot spare the required workforce to maintain it.
