It is similar in function to Houses, but are slightly more expensive, spawns a Settler when built, and cannot be deleted; likely to prevent the aforementioned from being abused by deleting and rebuilding the Manor repeatedly.

History Edit

“Houses in the New World displayed varying styles, from the Cape-style houses of New England to the claim shanties in the West to the ranch houses in Texas and Mexico. Often the house style reflected the cultural heritage of the people who settled in the land.

Of course, Native Americans also had a wide variety of housing, including the tipis of the Plains tribes and the wattle-and- daub houses of the Cherokee.”
