Buildings of Gnomes, Elves, and Dwarves

This category lists the buildings belong to non-human races. Typically, kingdoms may have only one of the three non-human races. Therefore, if buildings of Elves are present, no buildings belonging to Dwarves may be built.

	Gnome Hovel The filthy gnome hovels neither directly bring greater commerce, nor can they withstand great waves of invaders. On the other hand, the sheer efficiency of gnomes in building new structures can be crucial for sovereigns needing great speed in construction (or repair). (Can only be built at level 1 palace. New Gnome Hovels automatically spawn when existing ones are filled)

	Elven Lounge The Elven Lounge offers heroes a superior choice for luxury when a little rest is needed - so much luxury that they sometimes become distracted from normal duty. (Built automatically when an Elven Bungalow is present)
	Gambling Hall Center of vice, the gambling hall places a distraction for heroes on their normal duty. The gambling hall not only pays no taxes, but lures in heroes with low willpower. Once built, the sovereign is at vain in trying to remove these buildings from their kingdom. (Built automatically when an Elven Bungalow and rogues guild are present)
