Garlean architecture is not Allaghan tech and there has been a lot of boasting about Doma blacksmithing skills before to now say: "sorry we suck, we are unable to understand at all a metal structure workings".

    We are donating money for Doma to recover. If they want to remove perfectly functional garlean structures without bothering to repurposing it, means that they are getting more money than they need yet they keep begging for more.

    This is akin to using NGO funds to blow apart a dictator huge palace for "reasons" after his fall instead of tending the people in need and then saying: "It was needed,it remembered us too much of the dictator so it had preference over everything else. But now give us more money to build another palace over the one we just blow up since the new one wont be reeking of dictatorship"

    Once Doma recovers they can eat the garlean buildings for all i care and build golden Hien statues all over the country if they are willing to spend their funds on that, but when people is struggling so hard that need external help is not the moment to be picky with perfectly usable structures. Its like a refugee throwing his plate of fish to the floor cos he hates fish and wants meat instead. Well son, when you can get your own food then you can be picky with food not when others are feeding you for charity
    They explicitly cover all of these bases before moving on to this point, though. We have an established center of government, farms, a center of trade with a major export industry and local crafts supplying local efforts, a school, a security force. They're not barely scraping by and we're not donating to give them what they're lacking at this point, or ever, even. We're donating to get stuff done immediately. We're not even donating, we're trading goods that they could use or trade for money in our pocket.

    There's also a difference between capability of skill in crafting weapons and cookware and the quantity and scale to work industrial projects. They're not about to go about making girders and siding plates on a smithy's anvil.
