Enhanced buildings

[Ravern]

Buildings are cheap as we only pay for labour for both construction and use.

I suggest building materials be added to the construction and upgrade of all buildings.

Bad weather should halt all production of labour at that port, no one wants to work outside in bad weather

Workers need to rest, so buildings should only operate sunrise to sunset and not at all on Sundays

We could have national bonuses as well

Britain - +10% cost 

Spain - -50% productivity (siestas)

France - 50% productivity (they always on strike)

you get the idea

 

And finally all labour hour and building resource generation would stop outside of port battle times, we wouldn't want anyone getting an advantage playing at night.

As a side note...    

 

If the port is captured by an enemy Nation I think you should suffer more in terms on buildings.  

Something like all buildings, Shipyard and Workshop will reduced to base level 1. 

 

but like the OP idea

I am really amazed about all those people asking in the forums for more and more timesinks in this game.

As if the game, after the wipe, will not be hard enough,

BTW, I found out a rare documentary showing the usual activity of the new NA average ("after wipe") player

I'm not sure the original poster has played on testbed where you'll get a better picture of how the economy "functions". In the future.

If it is ultimately too easy, I'd rather restrictions on buildings come because of gameplay such as the results of war or successful raids rather than just arbitrary nerfs from Devs.
