Actually is is not quite like it. I place it in the present, as pizza needs to be done for lots of people to make it to reach to the other barons and more likely in weekly runs, you need a factory to do so. Why? Line of production makes the cost go down and production go UP.

In that logical thinking as a man who have a degree on accountabily i decided that they needed a factory sooner than later.

Why the religion stuff, that is otto's idea XD And i added a small hint on it on my firts tale :P
