Can an aura be used to allow a building to become buildable?

[Philip the Swaggerless]

I assumed I could make a building become buildable based on an aura because that is listed in the TechnologyModifications page:

Builder/Entities/_string

I was looking into adding an aura to give players allied to Iberians the ability to make an Iberian embassy to make mercenaries.  I copied the "iber_player_teambonus" file into my mod's data/auras/  teambonuses folder and altered it.  I've proofread this aura and rechecked my directories many times, but I can't get the embassy to show up in the in-game build panel when I click on a worker.  I don't see it even when I get to the town phase (the required tech of parent embassy template). I did not include this building in the building.xml file because I want it to only be buildable when the player has an Iberian ally.  

{
    "type": "player",
    "affects": ["Citizen Worker"],
    "affectedPlayers": ["ExclusiveMutualAlly"],
    "modifications": [
        {
            "value": "Builder/Entities/_string",
            "tokens": "structures/embassy_iberian_allied"
        }
    ],
    "auraName": "Saripeko",
    "auraDescription": "Allies can build Iberian embassies to train mercenaries."
}

Can auras be used to allow a building to become buildable?

Oh, nevermind.  The type "player" aura doesn't work, it has to be type "global".

Does it disable the building if they become enemies? My guess is no.

Interesting,  I'll test it tonight.

Okay, I just tested it by starting some games with an AI teammate while I am Iberians.  By checking the replay I confirmed the following:

• changing my status to enemy removes the building from their units' building panels
• deleting all my units and cc (becoming defeated) removes the building from their units' building panels
• changing my status to neutral removes it from their building panel, and if I ally them again it reappears in their building panels.  (That is, once I have sent them 1,000 stone and they accept my alliance offer. )

So... that works?

[Philip the Swaggerless]

Yes, it works just as I wanted it to

Yes, it works perfectly when I make the aura type be "global."

I wonder how efficient it is. Is it a constant check or only on state change.

[Philip the Swaggerless]

...I don't know

[Freagarach]

Luckily it is only on modification change.

Nice. I may be using this new discovery in DE.
