Bannerlord Intelligence Perks: Engineering¶

For the most part, this means improvements to build speeds of castles and walls initially, but eventually for all buildings. You can also increase the strength of fortifications and armor, decrease army morale loss while under siege, and enhance the effectiveness and damage of siege weapons.
