Removing MIC and walls from building policies

Does anyone know if there is any way of altering the script so as to prevent the AI from building MIC's/walls automatically (i.e. so they can still be built but only if they are purposefully selected by the player)? I am sick of having high level MIC's and huge walls built in cities a million miles from any enemies.

Only by creating one for each faction, which you will then need to swap out depending on which faction you play.

Is this easy to script? How would you do it?

In export_descr_building.txt find the building level you want to restrict and where it says "requires factions { blah, blah, blah, }" change to "requires factions { your_faction, }". Then only "your_faction" will be able to build it.

You want to remove the automatic placement of buildings, not remove their ability to create them, right? Then you should search EBBS for this text:

Delete that and everything following it until you come to

The script does not automatically place MIC and walls for the AI. Removing their ability to create MICs at all would destroy the game.

Sorry I think that I wasn't clear about what I was asking.

I am happy (and want) other factions to build MIC's in cities owned by their factions.

It is just that I don't want to micro-manage my empire and so would like to put some of my cities on autobuild (but without them building MIC's when I do so). I would still like then manually being able to build MIC's in these cities should the need arise. Is this possible?

Oh right. No that isn't possible at all.
