[Previously Building Balance]
Hello, this mod makes sweeping changes to Buildings in Civilization 5. The idea is to return to a Civilization 4 style where every building has some use to the player instead of only creating very specialised cities(Which is still possible). This has the added advantage of making the buildings AI friendly, as even if the computer makes bad calls, it'll still get some use out of it instead of being at a disadvantage.
4 Design Principles Used:
1. Make Everything Useful
2. Make Everything AI Friendly
3. Buildings Will Have Minor Bonus
4. Buildings Will Have Interesting 2nd Bonus
This mod was originally just a few tweaks to buildings, however since then I've continued to make modifications and since the scope has increased and gameplay changed I've gone with a full rename to the project.
Reduces happiness from Luxuries to 4. Happiness Increased on Buildings.
Version 9: Stable.
