Stopping a building being built if a different building has already been built

[DavDarkelf]

I can already limit a certain building to only allow one to be built by using the following

MaxPlayerInstances="1"

In my case I'm using it to create an alternative to the Bank. However I can't use

ReplacesBuildingType="BUILDING_BANK"

as none of my other cities would be able to build a normal bank.

The intention here is to have a few sort of mini wonders that are specific to one civilization and that are built in districts not on separate plots.

Any ideas?

If the city that constructs BUILDING_SPECIAL_BANK cannot construct BUILDING_BANK and vice versa, then simply use:

<MutuallyExclusiveBuildings>
	<Row Building="BUILDING_BANK" MutuallyExclusiveBuilding="BUILDING_SPECIAL_BANK"/>
	<Row Building="BUILDING_SPECIAL_BANK" MutuallyExclusiveBuilding="BUILDING_BANK"/>
</MutuallyExclusiveBuildings>

Thanks!

I couldn't find anything like that in the base game files apart from a comment at the end of Buildings.xml that kind of indicated that it was possible.

mmm...well, there are a whole bunch of entries in that table in the Buildings.xml file. It is how the Barracks and the Stable are made mutually exclusive within the same city.

Of course. How stupid of me! I also just realised I had Match Case on in Notepad++ Find which was why I didn't find them. I really should play the game more as well!
