With the Hippodrome I feel a bit compelled to take Religious bonuses that interact with WLTKD. I'd rather feel more free to pick anything, so I prefer a)

 

[pineappledan]

I would really have preferred the Aplekton to be its own unique improvement, rather than a stronger version of an existing one. we have several existing examples of UIs with tile defense already; the main thing that replacing an existing improvement does is remove the need for a unique build prerequisite.

Hopefully we can come up with something at a later time.

 

[Rekk]

There's no reason for the UI to break consistency by being a replacement.
