Yeah great xD
Tbh, the building should be build right onto the mines.
And if others want to mine there, they need to destroy the market place.

Its easier to remove that building from the game, since its creation it just give unnecesary issues. It was a creative license? Yes, like most of games have.

Giving that ability would become them a balance nighmare like ethiopians are with monasteries
