# Town Building Format

### List of unique town buildings
Following Heroes III buildings can be used as unique buildings for a town. Their functionality should be identical to a corresponding H3 building:
- `mysticPond`
- `artifactMerchant`
- `freelancersGuild`
- `magicUniversity`
- `castleGate`
- `creatureTransformer`
- `portalOfSummoning`
- `ballistaYard`
- `stables`
- `manaVortex`
- `lookoutTower`
- `library`
- `brotherhoodOfSword`
- `fountainOfFortune`
- `escapeTunnel`
- `lighthouse`
- `treasury`
- `spellPowerGarrisonBonus`
- `attackGarrisonBonus`
- `defenseGarrisonBonus`
Following HotA buildings can be used as unique building for a town. Functionality should match corresponding HotA building:
- `thievesGuild`
- `bank`
In addition to above, it is possible to use same format as [Rewardable](../Map_Objects/Rewardable.md) map objects for town buildings. In order to do that, town building type must be set to `configurable` and configuration of a rewardable object must be placed into `configuration` node
Example 1 - Order of Fire from Inferno:
```jsonc
"special4": { //
"type" : "configurable",
"requires" : [ "mageGuild1" ],
"configuration" : {
"visitMode" : "hero",
"rewards" : [
{
"message" : "@core.genrltxt.582", // NOTE: this forces vcmi to load string from H3 text file. In order to define own string simply write your own message without '@' symbol
"primary" : { "spellpower" : 1 }
}
]
}
}
```
Example 2 - Mana Vortex from Dungeon
```jsonc
"special2": {
"type" : "configurable",
"requires" : [ "mageGuild1" ],
"configuration" : {
"resetParameters" : {
"period" : 7,
"visitors" : true
},
"visitMode" : "once",
"rewards" : [
{
"limiter" : {
"noneOf" : [ { "manaPercentage" : 200 } ]
},
"message" : "@core.genrltxt.579",
"manaPercentage" : 200
}
]
}
}
```
### Town Structure node
```jsonc
{
// Main animation file for this building
"animation" : "",
// Horizontal position on town screen
"x" : 0,
// Vertical position on town screen
"y" : 0,
// used for blit order. Higher value places structure close to screen and drawn on top of buildings with lower values
"z" : 0,
// Path to image with golden border around building, displayed when building is selected
"border" : "",
// Path to image with area that indicate when building is selected
"area" : "",
//TODO: describe me
"builds": "",
// If upgrade, this building will replace parent animation but will not alter its behaviour
"hidden" : false
}
