Buildings

Elder Scrolls Universalis boasts a massive timeline, around 2000 years, which allows for a much longer and more expansive game. One feature of ESU that compliments this is the wide variety of buildings available throughout the 200 tech levels of the game. The buildings are listed by type and ordered by tech only, despite other similarities, as to represent the progression of unlocking and building them in game.

Influence

All influence buildings can only be built if nation is a subject under another nation; if that nation becomes independent, the buildings will be destroyed due to a keep_trigger for being a subject nation.

The first two buildings apply local modifiers, and can be built multiple times; however, the Spy Agency is unique in that it can only be built once (in a subject's capital) and applies rather large national modifiers.
