Factory
In the game's words
How to use it
Factories are a powerful late-game building that can supply a constant stream of resources or heavy artillery. When you build a Factory you designate what resource (Food, Wood, or Coin) it will supply, and as long as the building stands, it will feed a steady trickle of that resource into your coffers. However, it is perhaps more fun to set your Factory to manufacturing cannon! Most factories make Heavy Cannon, but British Factories make Rockets and Ottoman Factories make Great Bombards. This is the only way to produce these powerful artillery pieces in the New World.
History
A factory is a large building that produces goods on a large scale and is usually associated with machinery, division of labor, and workers who are paid a wage. The first known factory was the Venice Arsenal, which began mass-producing ships in 1104. Factories came into common use in the eighteenth century and as the Industrial Revolution gathered steam, so to speak, factories cropped up in urban areas all over the western world.
