Megaliths
I think megaliths are enough to build one of each building requiring them (or more of the same), and I do not know of any historical settlement that had even more of such buildings (if you find one, give me a link to Wikipedia), as I do not think such large stones were easy to find many in one area. So I do not think adding more is a must. What do you guys think?

PS: remember you can reuse megaliths by recycling existing buildings and build new ones. Note that sometimes you will not get all of them back, as some megaliths "break" because of mishandling.

i don't know if it's posible, but maybe the traders can sell them to you in the iron age as expensive as a new tec or some high price (because you are so powerfull as a city state that you can pay for gigantic stones)

@Fac0810: That would solve the scarcity of megaliths, indeed. Unfortunately it is not possible through modding as far as I know (traders don't sell even stone, not sure about flint).

Just wondering, has anything changed with the codding? Are stones able to be sold? What about Megaliths?

No, as far as I know.

I feel like an issue with the megaliths ingame is that they are comparably very large. Larger than most stones used for megalithic structures irl.

In general there are places with a lot of rocks which were used for megalithic structures, such as in the Jordan Rift Valley according to the 2008 book <<Megalithic Jordan; an introduction and field guide>>. In Switzerland the place Yverdon-les-Bains for example has 45 standing stones according to the Historical Lexicon of Switzerland (https://hls-dhs-dss.ch/de/articles/007408/2010-01-05/) and there are 12 Dolmens and 2 "Plates" according to the national monuments index around lake Neuenburg alone.

I just randomly thought of this, but the largest surviving concentration of megaliths is at Carnac with over 3'000 megaliths, albeit same as before they're usually smaller than megaliths in Dawn of Man (megaliths irl mostly range from 0,5m to 4,5m).
