remodelator

A remodelator is a term used in the context of certain video games, particularly those in the *Civilization* series, to describe a specialized unit capable of converting structures into other types of buildings. Introduced in *Sid Meier’s Civilization VI*, the remodelator serves as a versatile tool for urban planning and resource management.

In gameplay, the remodelator can transform existing buildings, such as farms, mines, or barracks, into more advanced structures like cities, districts, or specialized facilities. This functionality allows players to adapt their settlements dynamically, optimizing production and efficiency without the need to demolish and rebuild from scratch. The remodelator is particularly useful in late-game scenarios where strategic adjustments are necessary to maintain a competitive edge.

The unit is deployed by selecting a city and assigning the remodelator to a specific structure. Once positioned, it can convert the target building into a chosen type, provided the city has sufficient resources and population capacity. The remodelator’s role aligns with broader themes of adaptability and progression in the game, reinforcing the series’ emphasis on strategic flexibility.

While the term is most commonly associated with *Civilization VI*, similar mechanics may appear in other simulation or strategy games where resource allocation and urban development are key features. The remodelator exemplifies how game design can introduce innovative solutions to enhance player experience and gameplay depth.
