Treasury
The Treasury is responsible for handling the Castle's finances. Once this building has been placed, you will be able to adjust the tax level of the castle using the left and right icons in the Treasury screen. It is wise to keep a close eye on where the Treasury is built because enemy thieves disguised as Farmers may be able to breach it and steal your money. It should be noted however that AI lords do not use Thieves, and so this can only be the case through multiplayer games.
