- Preamble
Although this was an interesting project, it seems to have been abandoned soon after it started. Feel free to contribute! If you do so, please do not look at the GB one-sidedly and also consider different play-styles than your own. Please also use proper wiki tables (preferably using class "FoETable")...

- Original Content
This is a comparison of every Great Building of the game with their equivalent. This article is based on my own opinion, but all idea will be clearly explained with math and so. I took the liberty to create a page, because this comparison will be very long. All data belongs to the wikia and thus can be false, i haven't verified any values.
This page is ongoing. All result will be added gradualy as I get the data and process it.
First, I will say some things that could surprise some people, so I will explain everything before starting the comparison:
- Happiness is useless as long as you have a Lighthouse (or Royal Albert Hall), a Saint-Mark Cathedral and reached a certain Age (math below). To make your population happy (for a quest for example), all you need is the Enthusiasm Boost in the Tavern (costs 3500 Tavern silver).
- ... (in progress)
Now, I will enter in the main subject. It will be separated in two parts: one with the base Buildings data and one with the Great Buildings data.

Great Buildings:
Observatory
Usefulness: Very high
Very useful at the beginning due to it's small footprint, to unlock levels in Guild Expedition. Any level higher than level 4-5 would be useless if the guild doesn't participate in Guild Wars.
Temple of Relics
Usefulness: Very high
This Great Building is probably the best of all, because of all the rare objects / buildings, that you can get with it. On the top of them, we can find:
- Culture Farm (for more details, see my comment on it's page)
- Renovation Kit
- Youth Fountain
Tower of Babel
Usefulness: Very low
This building is good, but it could make you poor or unhappy very quickly and looses almost all interest in modern Ages.
| Level | Population (per tile) | Equivalent (age, population) |

| 11 | 74.8 | Victorian House (Industrial Age, 79) |
| 12 | 78.1 | Victorian House (Industrial Age, 79) |
| 13 | 81.3 | High-rise (Postmodern Era, 120.8) |
Statue of Zeus
Usefulness: Very High (fighter only)
Having the smallest footprint among all Great Building, this building is a must-have, due to the rarity of the attack bonus.
