I guess it started as a point and devolved into a rant. Anyway, I don't want more building slots. I actually don't really care for the building slot system per say (I think it was introduced in Knights of Honor? I may be mistaken) but it's not a terrible system. Still I'd much rather have the buildngs/upgrade level of the city to be tied to population size and the surrounding countryside and its villages, as well as any special conditions in that region (having iron, gold, forests, a natural harbour etc.) I also want every upgrade level of a building to be worth it, not making it worse as is the case with Shogun 2's marketplace.
