	Visitor from the Orient (50 prestige)

Bazaar	All Oriental Houses need to be built in the area of influence of the bazaar	400 5 3	30	5x4
Oriental market building	Building to gather goods. Compared to occidental market it has more carts (3 or sometimes even 4 compared to one from the occidental market) but can't be upgraded to higher levels. It's a smart idea to use these even on northern islands for busier areas of your economy before you can afford upgrading to occidental markets. This will allow for much smoother pick-up of goods.	700 8 5	25	4x4
Small noria	This building turns the desert ground green in its influence zone, allowing products to be grown in the desert. It eventually runs out of water but can be replenished.

To boost taxes, it's good to build a goat farm for at least half of your population.	200 5 1	20	building: 3x3, fields: 3 of 4x4
