Power Plant: Increases the resources generated by a city by 50%. However, it

increases the probability of pollution significantly. The Power Plant requires the

advance of Refining, costs 160 resources to build, and costs 4 coins per turn to

maintain.

Recycling Center: The recycling center reduces the probability of pollution by

two-thirds. It requires the advance of Recycling, costs 200 resources to build, and

costs 2 coins per turn to maintain.

SDI Defense: The SDI (Strategic Defense Initiative) Defense protects the city

from Nuclear units. Attacks by these weapons have no effect. This improvement

becomes available with the Superconductor advance. The SDI Defense costs 200

resources to build and 4 coins per turn to maintain.

Temple: The Temple improvement becomes available with the Ceremonial Burial

advance. Its presence makes one unhappy person content. With the additional

advance of Mysticism, another person is made content by a Temple, for a total of

two. A Temple prevents the Volcano disaster. Temples cost 40 resources to build

and 1 coin per turn to maintain. The effect of a Temple may be doubled if your

civilization possesses the Oracle, an ancient Wonder of the World, until the

achievement of Religion.

University: The presence of a University increases the

knowledge generated by a city by 50%. A University

may only be built in a city that already possesses a

Library. The University bonus is added to the bonus

from an existing Library. Together they double the

knowledge generated. Universities become available

with the advance of the University. They cost 160

resources to build and 3 coins per turn to maintain. The

effect of all Universities in your cities is increased if you

possess Isaac Newton’s College, a medieval Wonder of

the World, until the achievement of Nuclear Fission.

maintain. The effect of all Libraries in your cities is increased if you possess Isaac

Newton’s College, a medieval Wonder of the World, until the achievement of

Nuclear Fission.

Manufacturing Plant: Increases the resources generated by a city by 100%. It

requires the advance of Robotics, costs 320 resources to build, and costs 6 coins

per turn to maintain. Its presence makes a Factory obsolete, if present, and the

Factory ceases to work. The effect of a Manufacturing Plant may be increased by

the presence of the Hydro Plant, the Nuclear Plant, the Power Plant, or the

Hoover Dam.

Marketplace: Increases tax revenue and luxuries by 50%. The Marketplace

becomes available with the advance of Currency, costs 80 resources to build, and

costs 1 coin per turn to maintain.

Mass Transit: In cities with Mass Transit, the population has no effect on

pollution. Otherwise, when a civilization has acquired the Automobile advance,

the population of its cities increases the probability of pollution. Mass Transit

requires the advance of Mass Production, costs 160 resources to build, and costs

4 coins per turn to maintain.

Nuclear Plant: Like other types of power plants, the Nuclear Plant increases the

resources generated in a city by 50%. A Nuclear Plant also reduces the day-to-day

probability of pollution. However, a Nuclear Plant in a city suffering civil disorder

risks a nuclear meltdown. The Nuclear Plant requires the advance of Nuclear

Power, costs 240 resources to build, and costs 2 coins per turn to maintain.

Palace: This is the administrative and governmental center of

your civilization. The further any city is from the city

containing the Palace, the more corruption is likely. You may

build a new Palace in another city, but this causes the

retirement of the first Palace and relocation of the

government. If your Palace is destroyed, a new one may be

built in any existing city. The Palace requires the advance of

Masonry and costs 200 resources to build. Your original Palace costs nothing to

maintain, but a new Palace costs 5 coins per turn.
