Buildings

[Narayanese]

I don't like the tech tree. It wouldgive the same problems as in vanilla with most early units unavailible from start, and a weakened AI building only a few differnt low quality units.

A counterproposal (hastily put together):

Development line

Develpment 1 (name: Very Late Medieval)
20 turns, free, requres Marian reform, requires town exp 1
gives all pre-1480 units

Development 2 (name: Very Early Renaissance)
20 turns, free, requires town exp 2
gives all pre-1500 units

Development 3 (name: Early Renaissance)
20 turns, free, requires town exp 3
gives all pre-1522 units

Development 4 (name: Mid Renaissance)
25 turns, free, requires town exp 4
gives all pre-1550 units

Development 5 (name: Late Renaissance)
30 turns, free, requires town exp 5
gives all pre-1600 units


Town expansion line (Palace)

Town exp 1 (name: ?)
1 turn, quite cheap
gives all premarian units except cannons

Town exp 2
1 turn, quite cheap

Town exp 3
1 turn, medium cheap

Town exp 4
1 turn, medium cheap

Town exp 5
1 turn, medium cheap


Cannon factory line

Cannon factory 1 (name: Cannonmaker)
1 turn, expensive, requires town exp 3
gives the cannon units and the cannon ships (some of them also requires a development building)

Port line

Port 1 (name: Trading port)
1 turn, medium expensive
gives trade

Port 2 (name: Major port)
1 turn, very expensive
gives more trade


Temple types
1 building building-lines that makes towns different

Weaponsmith

Armoursmith

A few different monastery types

Some merchant guilds

The pope (in rome)

etc


Wall line

wall 1 (name: Low wall)
1 turn, expensive, requires town exp 2

Wall 2 (name: High wall)
1 turn, expensive, requires town exp 3

no barracks line
no stable line


Edit: I would be nice to have two types of building trees: one minimal and one complex (switch by replacing the file), as long as it doesn't interfere with unit balancing.
