Architect of Realm: Better Buildings Expansion & Optimization

“Rome wasn't built in a day.”

This MOD adds 17 new common buildings, 6 innovations, and significantly optimizes the construction conditions of the Vanilla common buildings.

The following can be adjusted in the game rules:

• Capital Building Restrictions: enable every buildings to be built in any barony.
  
• MOD Common Buildings: if you don't like a building added by this mod, it's possible to disable it.

Added 6 innovations: Water System, Scribes, Training Grounds, Regarders, Private Estates, Plantation.
Added 17 common buildings: Aqueduct, Public Bathhouse, Tax Office, Library, City Hall, House of Worship, Plaza, Knight Training Ground, Checkpoint, Leather Workshop, Royal Manor, Royal Residence, Secret House, Herb Garden, Vineyard, Olive Grove, Pilgrims' Bazaar.
Check the Discussion for the details.

About Vineyards and Olive Groves:
Vineyard: The construction conditions are similar to the Vanilla brewery, and it can't be built in desert/steppe/taiga terrain and can't be built in northern areas/the great steppe/the Tibetan Plateau.
Olive Grove: Initially, it is only available in the Mediterranean coastal areas. Unlocking the Plantation innovation will make this building available in more areas around the Mediterranean.
If you can point out other regions that are grape/olive producing areas, I will add them to the MOD.

Fixed the BUG that windmills and watermills could not be properly unlocked through the Windmill innovation when having the Hill Dwellers/Forest Folks/Forest Wardens tradition.

Added a game rule to allow windmills/watermills/caravan stations/qanats/murex fisheries and other buildings to not be restricted by county capitals.

• Windmills/Watermills: Available in holdings with level 5 or above Qanats/Aqueducts after unlocking the Water System innovation.
  
• Qanats: Available for any culture after unlocking the Water System innovation.
  
• Manor Houses/Farms & Fields: Available in holdings with level 5 or above Aqueducts.
  
• Legion Training Grounds/Warrior Guilds: Available in holdings with level 5 or above Militia Camps/Barracks after unlocking the Training Ground innovation.
  
• Hillside Grazing/Horse Pastures: Available in holdings with level 5 or above Stables after unlocking the Forester innovation.
  
• Breweries: Available in any holdings (including castles) after unlocking the Water System innovation, no longer restricted by religion/culture.

Added a decision that can add building slots to specified holdings.

Please note:

• Newly added general buildings may conflict with other MODs that modify buildings. Please also subscribe to the GRANDER Building Compatch MOD.
