CAESAR II BUILDING SPECIFICATIONS
                              VERSION 3

This information on building specifications fills in what was
unfortunately left out of  Sierra's "Caesar II" manual.

Though the manual states what buildings should have and use road access
to other structures, it's not conveniently complied in one place.
Here it is:
  Arena - No
  Barrack - Yes
  Bath - No
  Basilica - No
  Business - Yes
  Circus - No
  Coliseum - No
  Forum - Yes
  Grammaticus - No
  Hospital - Yes
  Library - Yes
  Market - Yes
  Praefecture - Yes
  Rhetor - No
  Shrine - No
  Temple - No
  Theater - No
(note that plazas act as roads, but have the extra benefit of improving
local land values)

Connections or access that should be made by road:
  Businesses to Forum
  Forums to ALL buildings, except Security/Worship/Entertainment
Hospitals to Forum and City Roads
  Housing access to Barracks and/or Towers
  Housing access to Businesses
  Housing access to Forums
  Housing access to Markets
  Housing access to Praefectures
  Libraries to Forum and City Roads
  Markets to Businesses and Forum
  Security to Worship structures
(Bath, Entertainment, School, and Worship structures do not need direct
road access to housing)

  The following information is the radius coverage for each type of
structure at it's basic FIRST level of development. This is the
information that is conveyed by the color overlays. I have not yet
checked all the larger areas of coverage that some buildings extend to
AFTER they improve to their second and third stages of development. All
numbers represent contiguous squares of outwardly radiating influential
coverage:
  Arena - 9/the first 5 are best, next 2 are very good, outer two good
  Barracks - 3 squares of negative influence
  Basilica - N/A
  Bath - 5
  Business - 4 squares of negative influence
  Circus - 10/the first 6 are best, next 2 are very good, outer 2 good
  Circus Max. - 12/first 8 are best, next 2 very good, outer two good
  Coliseum - 11/the first 7 are best, next 2 very good, outer 2 good
  Forums
     Aventine - 3
     Janiculan - 4
     Palatine - 5
  Fountain - 6
  Gate - 2 squares of negative influence
  Grammaticus - 6
  Hospital - N/A
  Library - N/A
  Market - 3 squares of coverage, the first 2 give a negative influence
  Odeum - 11/the first 7 are best, next 2 are very good, outer 2 good
  Praefecture - 3 squares of negative influence
  Reservoir - 6/first 3 offer water supply & pipes, outer 3 just pipes
(A Reservoir's radius will contract if there are other Reservoirs
between it and it's river-based "parent" Reservoir)
  Rhetor - 8
  River - 3
  Shrine - N/A
  Temple - N/A
  Theater - 7/the first 5 are best, outer 2 are very good
  Tower - 2 squares of negative influence
  Wall - 2 squares of negative influence
  Well - 2

The following is the amount of squares that FIRST level structures take
up on the city scale map, along with a bit of miscellaneous related
information. The first numbers represent total squares per structure:
  Arena - 9, 3x3, will not evolve
  Bath - 4, 2x2, will evolve
  Barracks - 9, 3x3, will not evolve
  Basillica - 9, 3x3, will evolve
  Business - 9, 3x3, will not evolve
  Circus - 18, 3x6, will not evolve
  Circus Maximus - 32, 4x8, will not evolve
  Coliseum - 9, 3x3, will not evolve
  Forums
    Aventine - 4, 2x2, will evolve
    Janicular - 9, 3x3, will evolve
    Palatine - 16, 4x4, will evolve
  Fountain - 1, will evolve
  Gate - 1, will not evolve
  Grammaticus - 4, 2x2, will not evolve
  Hospital - 9, 3x3, won't evolve, will be inoperable if no road access
  Library - 9, 3x3, won't evolve, will be inoperable if no road access
  Market - 4, 2x2, will not evolve, but will stagnate if there is no
road access, business or nearby houses
  Odeum - 4, 2x2, will not evolve
  Praefecture - 1, will not evolve
  Reservoir - 1, will not evolve
  Rhetor - 9, 3x3, will not evolve
  Shrine - 1, will evolve
  Temple - 4, 2x2, will evolve
  Tower - 1, will not evolve
  Well - 1, will evolve

Factors that ENHANCE land values:
  Baths

  Forums
  Gardens
  Hospitals
  Libraries
  Plazas
  Schools
  Worship structures

Factors that LIMIT land values:
  Barracks
  Businesses
