Caesar II Buildings

Buildings

Every building the engine defines, with its footprint in tiles and the constant that names it in the source. Read out of the Caesar II Reconstruction's own source, cross-checked against the manual rather than transcribed, so the sizes are the ones the game actually uses.

About these numbers

Nine buildings: Well, Fountain and Bathhouse, plus the Forum and the Temple in three size classes each. A Caesar II building never changes footprint as it climbs its four quality tiers; the size class is picked when it is placed, so each one is its own row. Sizes come from literal arguments in the reconstruction's src/evolver.c and its Forum graphics table; there is no engine table to read cost or labour from, and the manual doesn't state either per building. The tile ids in the engine column cover all four quality tiers of a row. The full growth mechanism, shared by all five of these buildings plus housing, is the subject of a mechanics page; the housing ladder itself, cross-checked the same way as these three, is the Housing page.
