Correction AFTER the watchtower is when they mentioned they covered the bases, they built some extras on the whateverhernameis gal room and then someone suggested to make a garden, but EVERYTHING is from donations.
We dont donate= doma reconstruction gets stuck, is not like Revenant Toll or Idllyshire that grown by themselves here either you donate some money to keep things moving or everything stops. They are able to do some trading, but thats only because we donate the starting funds
A NGO wont complain if their funds are used to build a park, but they WILL complain if they destroy a building just to make the same building again.
About the maintenance if doma artisans are unable to keep it on a decent state for at least some years then it means they are totally incompetent and would need decades to build a single ship that is far more complex structurally wise even when made of wood.
Im willing to bet that Doman watchtower requires far more effort in maintenance than the old garlean tower and metal structures need years before they start to need anything bigger than a very basic maintenance
And yeah there are also other things that irk me on Doman reconstruction but this one was ridiculious. I was almost fearing the security force will appear after saying they only had stones and sticks as weapons to protect the enclave because they destroyed their garlean made weapons since it reminded them of the ocupation as well
It makes sense to tear it down when they are no longer dependant of donations, not before and its not like they cant remodel it keep it for a few years while they improve current buildings and services THEN when its maintenance starts to be problematic, just tear it apart and build a new one on a far better economic situation. That is a waste of funds that could have been invested on ANYTHING else, you gotta be pragmatic on that situation even if you hate Garlemald not "i prefer to sleep in the open despite pouring because this building is garlean made and i hate everything garlean made!!"
