yes. it would.

a) can be accomplished with a 0 gold cost to build. no problem.
b) easy. also no problem.
d) messy. We have Capital_City and a cond_eff or Palace and cond_bldg
   but you want the inverted logic. Bad. That would be a Not_Capital_City
   effect for all other cities.
c) the worst. That would mean an additional .cond_size requirement [with
   multiple modes >,<,=] and that is not going to happen. no way. I was 
   already thinking about getting rid of cond_eff.
