One thing that we haven't done a lot of is making Unique Buildings out of the new buildings that we have added to AND. We have way more buildings than BTS has, but the Unique Buildings are still left on their original buildings from BTS. Since UB's consist of a regular building plus one or maybe two additional bonuses, I think we can transplant those bonuses onto another more appropriate building without too much trouble. There are three places I think we can do this; most UB's are pretty appropriate, but some I just think could fit better.
American Mall: Transplant to Shopping District. The Mall bonuses are +20% gold and +1 happy from Hit Singles/Movies/Musicals. Both the Supermarket and the Shopping District come around at the same time in the late Industrial Era. The Shopping District just seems to fit better. The bonuses can be moved over exactly as originally coded.
Byzantine Hippodrome: Transplant to Arena. This one is a bit more complicated. The Hippodrome bonuses over the Theatre include +1 , double from the Culture slider (from 1/10% to 1/5%), and shifting Theatre's normal +1 from Dye over to Horse. What I would do with an Arena-Hippodrome is set the culture slider bonus to 1 /10% culture (the current Arena is 1/25%), keep the +1 from Horse, drop the innate +1 , and add +1 XP to Mounted units. It's slightly less happiness-potent than the original Hippodrome, but it's still strong over the current Arena.
Indian Mausoleum: Transplant to Graveyard. Both are buildings for honoring the dead. I would give Mausoleum the stats of a Graveyard with +2 and a longer expiration date; I think this one could last all the way to Graveyard's original expiration of Ecological Engineering.
American Mall: Transplant to Shopping District. The Mall bonuses are +20% gold and +1 happy from Hit Singles/Movies/Musicals. Both the Supermarket and the Shopping District come around at the same time in the late Industrial Era. The Shopping District just seems to fit better.
