With all the previews we saw in the last days, and waiting for the new expansion, i asked myself one question concerning the new Building System.
We see a grid of 4x4=16 possible unlockable Building Slots, yet there are only 11 possible unique Buildings to be built in a single province. How come?
Did you just leave space for future buildings, or are the other squares simply there for cosmetic purposes, so it is a nice grid?
Any answer from a knowing person in this matter would be greatly appreciated :)

Honestly it's just a bit of an oversight on our part. Maybe we'll add more buildings in the future.

Just in case modders want to add in more buildings than they 11 types we currently have?

You can mod in more slots via gui editing though.
