Allow us to build and destroy buildings in our colonies.

[Pellucid]

Thread title. Building a non-fort building should temporarily reduce liberty desire (~5%?) and destroying any building should temporarily increase it (~10%?).

How would a colonial overlord be prevented from just destroying every building in a colonial nation that's about to rebel?

I like the option to be able to build buildings in colony, but they should really than teach colonial overlords AI and independant colony AI to do the same. If AI can't use feature it will give even more advantage to the player and make the game easier. AI should prefer to build manufactories and production buildings for example so it can benefit from trade income. Colony AI itself (not overlord) should prefer also own development, shipyards, temples, barracks, docks etc.

edit: +5% liberty desire is ok, temtemporarly.. should decay relatively quickly tho

+10% for destruction looks good; CAN'T destroy buildings if liberty desire > 50%

Maybe make it impossible to destroy buildings once your colony's liberty desire passes 50?

EDIT: Lulz, responded before I read the above post.

Agreed. it does make sense that an overlord could be able to build a forteress in some strategic places.

There is the precedent to this in the form of fortifying marches.
