If you enjoy this mod, rate it! Rating brings more subscribers and (hopefully) more feedback, which'll lead to better mods. Check my workshop for similar mods that enhance the vanilla game.

Note: I play with UAI Revived (strongly suggest it) and I suspect UAI makes the AI less likely to upgrade markets, which was perfectly understandable in Vanilla.
