The basic idea is for each Affinity to have a set of buildings, where every Affinity building cannot coexist with buildings of other affinities in a city.
The central goal of the overhaul is to increase the asymmetry between Affinities by giving them their own playstyles.
Every existing affinity building will be changed, generally becoming stronger and more distinct.
I have some background entries written, but to shorten the post I'm leaving them out of the OP.
This is something that, thanks to considerable help, I actually intend to mod.
_________________________________________________
Unlocking the Buildings
_________________________________________________
Affinity buildings are unlocked primarily by affinity level.
Affinity buildings can not be built in a city that hosts buildings of another affinity.
Each core and hybrid affinity has a range of higher and lower affinity requirement buildings, with extremely powerful National Wonders being the most expensive.
Most of these National Wonders must be built in the capital, though a few require a building in each city.
Currently, I plan on either no tech requirement or very easy tech requirements for affinity buildings to maximize freedom in the tech web.
I would particularly appreciate your feedback on this part of the design, since there are several ways to handle tech requirements with different pros and cons.
Of course, tech would still be essential to gaining affinity levels in the first place.

Focused on strategic resources and specialization.
Voracity is a very resource-hungry Affinity, with all but two buildings requiring strategic resources.
It takes more interest in neutral strategic resources than other affinities, though it has little use for Floatstone.

Feedback Wanted
I'd greatly appreciate your feedback and suggestions on this overhaul.
With the level of asymmetry in it, it can be difficult to judge the design of each individual part, and I'd like to hear any more thematic concerns as well.
I'd simply prefer to have a plan of what to do before I start modding.
Special thanks to DefiantMars for feedback as I was designing this.
The central goal of the overhaul is to increase the asymmetry between Affinities by giving them their own playstyles.
Every existing affinity building will be changed, generally becoming stronger and more distinct.
I have some background entries written, but to shorten the post I'm leaving them out of the OP.
This is something that, thanks to considerable help, I actually intend to mod.

Feedback Wanted
I'd greatly appreciate your feedback and suggestions on this overhaul.
With the level of asymmetry in it, it can be difficult to judge the design of each individual part, and I'd like to hear any more thematic concerns as well.
I'd simply prefer to have a plan of what to do before I start modding.
Special thanks to DefiantMars for feedback as I was designing this.
