1.5 - Icons Update

Icons provided by user "jancomx" have been added to the mod.

All "build a X" abilities and construction states now have their own icons instead of everything looking confusingly the same.

1.4 - Rebalance update 4

Frostlings now also consume builder for gold mines

Fixed Orc Ziggurat build description

Lowered costs all around.See Front page for current costs and previous update for old ones.
Main reductions:
Inns, mana buildings, etc. significantly cheaper

Raised farm costs.

Production, Population and Knowledge buildings take 2 turns to build. Don't consume builder.

Gold and Mana buildings consume builder (only gold did previously) and take 1 turn to build (mana used to take 3).

Special buildings take 4 turns instead of 5 to build.

Special building costs have been changed to cost slightly more mana while still keeping total resource cost at 500. Ziggurat and Sphinx kept at same cost.

1.2 - Rebalancing update

All added buildings are now built in 1 turn. The builder is also always consumed (except Halfling - plant Sunflowers)

Rebalanced pricing. Prices are now based on how much the buildings give bonuses. Of course keep in mind that the buildings can be razed, so having less and more expensive higher quality buildings will be easier to protect than a lot of low quality cheap ones.

Some other notes on pricing:
Dipped the Farm price really low since population building is irrelevant very quickly.
Kept building prices high since the building bonuses always also stack up the percentage bonuses in cities so +10g from gold mine translates to +10 to 20 in reality.

This "update" was done because of comments indicating that the mod might have been broken in an update. I've tested the mod before and after doing this "update", and it has worked fine on both times.
If you have problems that have been mentioned in the comments, please make sure you don't have conflicting mods or that you are not using the "open_beta - use at your own risk" version of the game.

1.1 - Focus Chamber / Vault of Knowledge

Added a universally buildable Vault of Knowledge to access the Focus Chamber upgrade.

Had a problem with creating a separate building... Building would just not allow an upgrade in the city.

Currently the built vault is the same as the ones found in any other map. So it will spawn defenders if left alone, and gives a reward of knowledge after revisiting it (once) after building.

Building costs 2500 gold and 1500 mana to build. 12 turn build time. Not razeable, because it is the same building as the other ones...

Even with the problem, I've decided to go with the update, because knowledge has a finite use and can't be exploited with no end.
