Yes, taverns can be built from blueprints, which will be for sale probably here in the SbS micro shop, when the game is live.

Yes, a tavern is the prerequisite for a Village, so he should be able to get one built as early as Exposition.

Architects will be a thing people can be - I've no doubt there will be custom tavern designs available during and after Expo.

Hmm, no opportunity to find or buy a tavern blueprint via normal gameplay?

Hope not.

I'm pretty sure the micro shop comment was sarcastic. Some people don't like how Soulbound is funding the game at the moment via the store and worry this will continue after launch.

There will almost certainly be a means to build taverns without micro-transactions.

There is no need for a cash transaction to build a tavern, at least not according to current information. An architect would be able to draw up a blueprint. It would be -faster- during exposition if a tavern was spawned in via EP, but if you prefer something more custom then you would probably need to build it.

Ahh, the sort of comment I would typically be prone to make, but most know to never take me as an authority.

Thanks for clarifying.

Well you got me. Nicely played. :P

As far as I understood the buildings you can see at the DSS map are buildings needed to sustain the current lvl of the settlement. To raise the lvl of a settlement from Hamlet to Village there needs to be at least one tavern in the settlement.

My guess would be that this “needed” buildings has to be non-private buildings the settlement owns to prevent that e.g. the last leaving innkeeper is lowering the lvl of a settlement to hamlet. This way you could either create a personal tavern on private land or the mayor is creating a contract that you are managing the "standard" tavern that is needed to keep the settlement at least a village.
