Inputs and outputs
- Makes Pigeons (squabs): Feast Hall, Manor House; Guano: fields (rich fertilizer), Tannery (softening hides); Message pigeons: Post station, Intelligence Agency, War Department
- Needs grain (the pigeons feed on fields within 48 m); 1 dovekeeper
Range rule
a tower near fields; the lord's right: one a manor; fields within 48 m lose 2 % grain
Why it is interesting
Pigeons eat the fields around them (-2 %) but bring guano, squabs and messages; only a manor may raise one.
Notes
makes messages, manure; needs grain
