This is easier than shipyards and ships. Weapons need somewhere to be built and have a cost for building them. Each weapon manufacture has a certain capacity - it can only built that amount of guns per year. Here are the details: Small Arms Plants Each small arms plant has a capacity expressed in Small Arms Capacity Points. The number of SACP determines how many guns and of what sizes a plant can produce. You pay £0.7 for each SACP that is in use and you can expand the capacity of a plant by building new SACP. Each SACP also has an era attached to it - machinery from 1800 cannot produce guns from 1860, so it needs periodic upgrades. Bellow is a list of prices for SACP from each era if you are building them from scratch. Era I - Smoothbores - £1.4 Era II - Rifles Muskets - £2.2 Era III - Early Breech Loaders - £3.2 Era IV - Advanced Breech Loaders - £4.8 Era V - Bolt Action - £7.2 If you upgrade existing machinery the cost is 1/3 less. So it is better to upgrade existing plants than build new ones whenever you have the opportunity. Artillery Plants Works the exact same way as small arms. There is capacity expressed by Artillery Capacity Points and each one costs £11.2 to operate. In an exact same manner as small arms you can expand existing plants or upgrade them once better machinery becomes available. Brief summary of eras and the cost is here: Era I - Smoothbores - £22.4 Era II - Rifled Muzzle Loaders - £33.6 Era III - Rifled Breech Loaders - £50.4 Heavy Armament Plants Beginning with Era III all guns larger than 6" in caliber will require a heavy armament plant to produce. The rules are exactly the same as for the rest of the armaments, with capacity being Heavy Armament Capacity Points and costing £22.4 to operate and £100.8 to build. More will be added if we make it to the late 19th century. |

Example: Potsdam musket works: 3000 SACP (a year) To have it built: 1.4 pounds*3000= 4200 pounds sterling Upkeep: 0.7*3000= 2100 Pound Sterling a year Arms: The Potsdam works have 3000 Small Arms Capacity Points. That means that if I want to produce 500 muskets (4.5 SACP each) I do 4,5*500= 2250 SCAP. This means that the Potsdam works can build the 500 muskets within one years time (9 months to be precise). (3000:12=250 SACP a month, so 2250:250=9) Upgrading: Upgrading it to era II so: 2.2*0.33 (one third)=0.726 pounds sterling per point to upgrade So: 3000*0.726= 2178 pound sterling If any of you have any questions just ask them. Also note, all arsenals or factories you build must be listed somehwere. |
