Description:

New commerce-focused building choices for Commercial Hub, Harbor, and Aerodrome, many of them with new 3D models and icons! Adds a total of 12 new buildings and reworks the existing buildings in these districts.

The new bonuses provide each city with a multitude of ways to earn gold. Some buildings will be better for tall play, some for wide, and some will do something completely else.

Build an economic infrastructure that will stand the test of time.

Features
  • Reworked the 8 existing buildings in Commercial Hub, Harbor, Aerodrome (see below for details).
  • 12 new buildings added: Mint, Emporium, Guildhall, Merchant Quarter, Commodity Exchange, Marketing Agency, Fishing Dock, Fish Market, Entrepot, Offshore Terminal, and City Center versions of the Fishing Dock and Trade Dock (formerly Lighthouse) (see below for details).
  • Adjacencies have been expanded. For example, Commercial Hubs will now receive a standard adjacency from Luxury resources.
  • The new adjacencies apply to unique versions of these districts as well.
  • All Commercial Hub and Harbor buildings and the Airport now provide +1 Gold to all international trade routes from that city, apart from those buildings’ special bonuses.
  • Coastal cities have received a buff: Coastal cities (and those connected to sea via Canal) get an extra building slot for the two first-level Harbor buildings. This means that a coastal city can build both!
  • More Trade Routes from your districts and buildings: You can now receive up to two trade routes per city by default. The first is gained as usual, by building the first building in either the Commercial Hub or the Harbor. The second is gained by either building a Seaport in a city with a Commercial Hub or directly by building an Airport (with no other conditions).
  • Aerodrome Rework: the Aerodrome is no longer just a place for your military aircraft. All military features have been moved to the Hangar, and the Airport is a civilian building now, with a special bonus for tourism. Airport no longer requires Hangar.
  • Rock Bands can now play concerts in Aerodromes, with a new promotion to fit: Stunt Master.
  • New and reworked policies (see below for details).
  • With Monopolies game mode: Re-distributed some Product slots. Commercial Hub and Harbor get +1 from adjacent Industries and +2 Gold from adjacent Corporations.
  • Compatible with the Military District Expansion: with both mods the Hangar receives all the bonuses added to the Air Force Base by that mod.
