Building and Wonder Traits [ ] Some buildings and wonders , have certain characteristics to them. For normal improvements, these characteristics mean the building will be built at half cost. Temples , for example, are half price for Religious civilizations, and Barracks are half price for Militaristic ones. Great Wonders also have characteristics, but these do not allow civilizations to build them more cheaply or faster - instead, they are used as Golden Age triggers.
