Traits for Builders?

[BladeLakem]

It seems to me that Civ4 is a game that really rewards focus and specialization, and that new players often suffer from the desire to build everything in a city that they can, or a library in every city whether it needs it or not, etc.

I was wondering if anyone had some ideas for Leader Traits that would give those sorts of people a bit of a leg up. Something like a plus in commerce for cities that have lots of buildings, or some such. Not sure exactly what I am grasping for, but I thought I'd see if people had ideas.

I would guess Creative, Financial and Industrious, or some combination of.

Well, yeah, all of those traits help builders, but almost everything on these boards seems to indicate that building is a losing strategy. So I was trying to think of a way to make a Leader Trait or something that makes playing the diverse builder a viable option. Something that rewards the people who obsessively build Wonders, or just have to have a library in every city, or some such.

Probably Industrious combined with Expansive. But it'd be better to learn more subtly in strategy than "build everything, everywhere".
