        No, of course I'm not. I am fairly familiar with the code for
both, and they are completely separate in the rulesets (i.e. bldg_req
and effect.cond_bldg, respectively) and the impr-gen implementation.

        I speak only from knowledge of the Freeciv code base. If this
isn't how buildings in Payciv work, then the rulesets can be easily
tweaked to fix this.
