I've done some experimenting with gov specific buildings in my mod, and I think I might have figured out something interesting.
First of all, it's never really made sense to me that a Temple built in 4000 BC still has relevance in 2000 AD; people's views on religion have changed drastically over the years. But from a gameplay viewpoint, losing that culture can be a setback.
So I've come up with a secondary line of religious buildings that aren't gov specific, but require another building that is. So far I've come up with Shrine for Despotism which only allows for the construction of the Oracle, which isn't gov specific. Temples are for Monarchy which allows for the constuction of a Monastery, and Churches are for Republic, which allows for the construction of Cathedrals.
Neither Democracy or Communism have any specific religious buildings, instead Democracy has a City Hall happiness building. Communism has nothing along those lines, I'm trying to emphasize the unhappiness of people living in those types of regimes.
Another thought about this is that I lose alot of happiness creators for my citizens. So I've come up with a whole new line of buildings starting with Inns, then Hotels and finally Resorts, each making one happy face. Ever since the dawn of civilization, there's been some tavern/restaurant type business where people go to hang out and have a good time, and now entertainment businesses are huge in terms of giving people a break from the monotony of their lives.
