In this guide, I will explain building in Medieval Dynasty in more detail: how to build your first house and how to gather the materials for it quickly. Building in Medieval Dynasty is closely tied to crafting and the technology system, so it is worth remembering that not every structure is available from the start. Some buildings unlock only after you earn enough Building Technology points.
