House: 14th Century  Special Ability: When placed near Settlement/Town Center/Capitol, they raise moral of nearby units.Population doesn't raise with more houses. Hospital: 18th Century  Special Ability: Heals any unit within its range.Available in Imperial Age : Epoch 8 Healing, at first, was a matter for spiritual leaders and sacred sites. Early hospitals were essentially places where a patient might receive divine help. In Greece and elsewhere, for example, a ritual known as incubation was used in which illness was said to be cured by sleeping in a holy place. Bathing in supposedly curative waters was also thought to be beneficial and this practice may have been the origin of modern health spas. Later Greek doctors – Hippocrates being the most famous – were instrumental in pushing the science of medicine forward. Roman hospitals, based largely on Greek medicine, were first established around 100 BC to treat injured and ill soldiers. The rise of Christianity helped to transform hospitals into the care facilities we know today. In the 6th Century AD, the Hôtel-Dieu of Lyon opened. It had a large hall lined with beds and emphasized treating the patient, not just the ailment. Monastic infirmaries in Europe and elsewhere cared for monks and outsiders alike. At the end of the Middle Ages, civil authorities increasingly began to take on the responsibilities of healthcare. By the turn of the 16th Century, England alone reportedly had more than 200 secular hospitals to care for its people. Mech Factory  Automated mechanized weapons (or Mechs) were introduced in the late 21st Century primarily to keep human beings out of harms way. For many years, few but the most devoted Tech Sergeants much cared if a Mech came back from a dangerous mission or not.The precursors to Mechs were small robots - remotely operated - which were used for reconnaissance and disposing of unexploded ordnance. Later, larger machines were lightly armed and sent into hostile areas to gather intelligence for their operators. The first truly autonomous Mechs appeared in the second half of the 21st Century once neural nets and processing power became sufficiently advanced to provide machines with rudimentary intelligence.In succeeding decades, continued advances in computers, materials, propulsion, and weapon systems lead to an explosion of Mech designs. Anti-infantry Mechs were created specifically to kill human soldiers. Airborne Mechs provided air support and recon. A small, stealthy Mech codenamed "Poseidon" was invented to capture other Mechs by introducing an invasive program into the target. As a result, later Mech designs incorporated anti-virus countermeasures in an effort to fend off such attacks.By the turn of the 22nd Century Mechs were standard equipment in all modern armies and Mech production facilities were common around the world. In addition to research & development and the actual production of Mechs, these facilities literally trained Mechs to fight using techniques not unlike those used to train humans. Over time, many people came to think of Mechs as sentient entities rather than disposable military hardware.
