'''Buildings''' are constructible objects built by players that provide [[population]], [[points]], income ([[stars]]), or a [[movement]] bonus. Buildings include resource buildings, monuments, [[temples]], and [[Roads (Building)|roads]]. Each building can only be built on specific [[terrain]] types.
−
A list of all the Buildings/Structures found in the game. Buildings are the things you can build or place, such as farms; and structures are other naturally generated objects, such as villages and ruins.
  
   
  +
'''Structures''' are generated objects that [[units]] interact with randomly dispersed across the map at the beginning of the game. Structures include [[cities]], [[Village|villages]] and [[ruins]]. Resources and [[terrain]] are not considered structures.

Buildings are constructible objects built by players that provide population, points, income (stars), or a movement bonus. Buildings include resource buildings, monuments, temples, and roads. Each building can only be built on specific terrain types.

Structures are generated objects that units interact with randomly dispersed across the map at the beginning of the game. Structures include cities, villages and ruins. Resources and terrain are not considered structures.
