Requirements to Renovate:
You must have already Constructed the Room in question (on a previous turn),
1 x Unit,
1 x Construction Tools (must be equipped onto at least one of the participating Units),
Stone.

The amount of Stone needed is:
Example: You have a Throne Room at Renovation level 1.  If you want to improve it to level 2, you must have 10 Stone available.

NOTE: RENOVATIONS DO NOT COUNT AGAINST THE 'ITERATIVE' COST OF ROOM CONSTRUCTION!

The following table shows how many resources you can save if you score higher successes.

Success	Original Cost to New Cost
	10 or 11	15	20	22	25	30	35	40
Partial	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
Normal	1	1	1	2	2	3	3	4
Significant	2	2	3	4	4	6	8	8
Astounding	3	3	5	6	6	9	11	12
Epic	4	5	7	8	9	12	14	16
Legendary	5	7	10	11	12	15	17	20

Multiple Renovations.

It is possible to assign multiple Units to attempt to Renovate the same room more than once in a single week.

If two or more Units attempt to renovate multiple renovation levels at once, they do not provide their bonuses to each other (leader bonuses still apply to all as normal.)  If any renovation attempt fails - you do not gain the "highest" that you would have attempted.  You must have sufficient materials for the all Renovation costs attempted (as if you had conducted them on separate turns.)  Any failures cost against the HIGHEST renovation cost.

This is still considered two separate actions - and as such: both Units must still have Construction Tools.

Example:

You have a Spymaster's Suite Renovation level 1.

You decide to Assign two Units to renovate it separately. (you want to reach Renovation level 3.)
Unit one rolls a partial failure, whilst the other rolls a partial success.

You only reach Renovation Level 2, and you waste Stone equal to failing Renovation Level 3 (20 Stone.)

Example 2:

You have a Spymaster's Suite Renovation level 1.

You decide to Assign two Units to renovate it separately. (you want to reach Renovation level 3.)
Both Units fail.

You do not improve the Spymaster's Suite at all and you waste Stone equal to failing Renovation Level 3 AND Renovation Level 2 (35 Stone.)
