In the game's words
How to use it
The Torp is a unique Swedish building that replaces the House and is available starting in the Settlement Age. It can be constructed by Settlers. Torps are necessary to support the expanding population of a growing town. Most units that you can train take up a specific amount of population spaces or population slots. Each Torp or Town Center that you build raises the number of slots that you have available, allowing you to train more and more units. There is a limit on the number of Torps that you can build in a single game. Torps can also automatically gather from nearby resources and, through the usage of certain technologies and Home City cards, spawn certain units and resources. Every time that you train a unit, the game checks to see if you have enough housing to support the new soldiers or civilians. If you do not, you will not be able to train the units until you build a Torp or Town Center.
History
Going back to the medieval period, Scandinavian farmers commonly established farmsteads in the countryside away from settlements, seeking to make their fortune off of the land. These torps were constructed from the locally available materials: usually stone and wood, but also occasionally making use of turf roofs and siding, which insulated the structure and prevented leaking. Torps were self-sufficient and often developed over time into larger settlements and even villages. During the Swedish Empire, torps evolved into small or leased agricultural plots with their own tax obligations and even supplied men for the king’s military levy; however, as the region gradually urbanized and evolved agriculturally, their importance and productivity gradually declined.
