Awesome Sponsors (Classic Version)

A mod that is designed to make the Sponsors more interesting and distinctive.

If you want to play with Rising Tide use this Version instead!

______________________________________________________________________________

Additional bonuses have been added, existing bonuses have been changed and, in some cases, swapped to make all sponsors feel and play different from each other. Every Sponsor now has a unique Building that has higher yields and, in most cases, a unque effect.

To be clear: The main focus is not perfect balance – I try to get them somewhat on a level, but especially with all the combinations possible when also using Awesome Loadout etc. it’s impossible to achieve perfect balance and still keep options interesting. Also, these bonuses will make the game easier – but, at least that’s my opinion, also more fun.

All unique Buildings have basic yields, but I’ll only list their unique effects below.
