Prestige buildings

from Elemental Forums

I was curious if anyone's bothering much with prestige buildings.  I'll be looking forward to seeing if prestige becomes more important in 1Z.  Because of the huge city upkeep cost problems, townhalls are only ever temporary buildings for me.  I don't bother building any other prestige-producing buildings.  I read that towns will have more spaces for buildings at each level, but currently I often have to demolish townhalls to have enough space for markets, housing, etc.

Yeah I do hope they put abit more emphasis on economics and Prestiege. Besides wouldn't townhalls reduce maintenance by implementing more localized and controlled government.

That's one possible benefit of a townhall.  I remember that Civ2 had buildings that reduced the city's upkeep costs and different buildings that produced gold. 

If they went with your idea, townhalls could cancel out the upkeep cost of towers, arcane libraries, etc.  If a town was budget neutral, marketplaces and the like would help to make the place profitable.  Of course, you'd build a mix of both since you're limited by city size.  I think it would lead to smarter building strategies.

Well they could make it so its based on a mixture of your populations natural attitude *Evil people should have less maintenance as they obey gov easier and good has to appease the populace* Whereas Good people tend to have efficent and rightious people whom want to help eachother therefore the building of special buildings for alignment could be used to lower maintenance the courthouse/Social court *a court where one has a jury and is not guilty unless proven so* for good players would be useful and evil could have for example *Black/Iron tower* A structure which oppresses local population and organizes the guards/watchmen making the citymore efficent and increasing taxation.

 

just basic idea's.
