Civ unique buildings - spoilers?

**soibean** · 08-09-2006, 20:56

touring about on different civs, I noticed that each one had a building/buildings that were unique for its faction. Another thing I picked up was that, although they only added 5% public bonus, it cost 2k plus for the building and I think 4 turns plus to build...
Why does it take so long, why so much, for so little in return?
Or does it offer an advantage later on in the game?

It's all relative. I think some of those are too cheap actually. An additional 5% can help, and if it's only one year's worth of building (2 turns in vanilla) and costs on 2K then that's quite cheap and quick to me.

The real expensive building is the one that gives the KH 5%: the Heroon (one o is double dotted). 16 turns (4 years) and very expensive.

Yeah, it is costly. Probably should be reduced, but we're in no hurry I suppose. That's the kind of stuff that will be tweaked before 1.0, but that seems to be working tolerably well right now.

so its pretty much only a 5% bonus and something to throw money away on during mid game?

I dont mean for this to sound hostile or negative, it just seems to me that a bigger bonus should be given or some such.

I for one enjoy accomplishing as much as possible in a set amount of time, mass conquering and constructing the important buildings that are essential for my faction. Throwing away 2 years for an additional 5% p.o. seems to be a waste when I could just train another levy unit to give me an added bonus at half the price and a fraction of the time.
