Real Building Upgrades

Real Building Upgrades 4.1.3

Works with September 2019 Patch.

Building Upgrades to:
- Vanilla buildings (including UBs) - all except ones enabled by beliefs (the game doesn't allow to build more than 1 in a Holy City).
- DLCs (if active): Tlachtli, Sukiennice, Basilikoi Paides, Prasat.
- Rise & Fall: Food Market, Shopping Mall, Ferris Wheel, Aquarium, Aquatics Center, Ordu, Tsikhe.
- Gathering Storm: Coal, Oil and Nuclear Power Plants, Hydroelectric Dam, Marae, Thermal Bath, Grand Bazaar.

How does it work?
- Each Building can be upgraded and since there are (usually) 3 levels of base buildings, there are also 3 levels of Upgrades. Their characteristics and parameters depend on their level (see below).
- Each Building Upgrade has the same icon as base building with a distinctive plus sign added.
- A Building Upgrade becomes available usually after researching a tech/civic that follows a tech/civic that grants the base building. This represents the idea that a building has to be constructed and used for some time before any upgrades can be applied.
- All unique Buildings also have Upgrades.
- The Upgrades are quite powerful but very expensive in terms of maintenance costs. It's by design, they are supposed to rather exclusive buildings, not seen all-around.

Upgrades to Level 1 Buildings
- provide 50% of base building yields,
- some upgrades of early buildings also have unique properties or yields from improvements or resources,
- cost approx. 45% of base building, Maintenance Cost = 1,
- Hangar is here and you can also upgrade Palace!
Upgrades to Level 2 Buildings
- provide 50% of base building yields,
- provide a unique effect or have unique properties,
- cost approx. 60% of base building, Maintenance Cost = 2.
- Sewer and Airport are here.
Upgrades to Level 3 Buildings
- provide 50% of base building yields
- provide a unique effect or have unique properties,
- cost approx. 75% of base building, Maintenance Cost = 3.

Unique Rise & Fall change Yields from population have been decreased to 0.3 for Science and 0.2 for Culture (from default 0.5 and 0.3 respectively). To compensate, some upgrades have a unique effect that increases those params in the city where they are build. This allows for a true city specialization.

Note: whenever a yield is added to an improvement or a resource, it is always to those within borders of the city with the specific building upgrade.

Well, couple hundred people downloaded it from here and few thousands are subscribed on Steam and you are the only one report such an issue. I am pretty sure this is not caused by RBU.
Amazing Mod! I really recommend it to everyone! You are awesome!
Nice addition to the game, gives further specialization and more choices.
great!
