Now this I agree with. Historically Vikings did not live in huge mansions. I just like building them. More castle I guess then mansion. It is what it is. It is done on purpose and not a bug. AND it does make sense., I still dont like it.. LOL

The building is very fun in this game. I spent many hours not even building as much as testing what I could build.
