There probably is a better location for this, but I'm having some issues with the UBs, at least in the francophone part of Europe
Chateau: I like that this is a replacement of the manor house, but frankly it doesnt seem to fit with the Burgundians. They were a culturally strong civ (their UU makes sense for this) but they were swallowed up by France after the hundred years war and eventually taken over by the 14th century. Chateaus on the other hand, in the sense that its trying to convey (the manor houses of the rich) were more popular in later centuries, under Louis XIII and XIV and such and were very popular in the Loire region. It just doesnt make sense why they would be a Burgundian UB.
I'm ok with France having the salon as theirs (a little late for the timeline but still within the timeframe of before 1800), but chateau would be better with the French. Also a main problem is that the chateau becomes obsolete with constitution which comes maybe a little too early to be historically accurate (often times im getting constitution anywhere form 1300 to 1500, when it really started to come in the mid 17th century if Im not mistaken) OR that the chateau shouldnt become obsolete with that tech (maybe later on).
Honestly I think the manor house itself is kind of a weird building, it is part wall, part theatre part courthouse, why not consolidate this and make it do something more specific?
Royal Exchange: the bank of england wasnt founded until 1694 (still within the time period) but Britain didnt really become an economic powerhouse until the 18th century (yes also still within the timeline, but thats not the point). All of the banks in this are either Baltic, German, or Italian, which didn't have much to do with England. Game balancing wise, England often doesn't have a lot of their taxes going towards money, so the royal exchange does very little. (as opposed to the amazing genoan bank)
To make this better, I think Britain should have a more science focused UB or maybe trade (university or observatory upgrade perhaps) to help it get to industrial age first (right its having trouble), Burgundy should have a more culture focused UB (maybe a theatre upgrade), and France maybe should have something else, perhaps stability or culture (or salon could stay)
Other frustrations: Inn, Brewery, Weaver, Guild Hall, (what exactly is the infirmary doing in the civilopedia?), why not just make granary give 50%? (get rid of smokehouse?)
I'm sure I sound very picky, but I think this is one of only a few weak areas (other than bugs ) in the game; you guys have really amazed me with what's been accomplished, and sorry for the long post
