Reduce the construction costs of Adamantian and Antimatter buildings, and add costs of lower tier resources to higher tier buildings.
The current problem with mid game buildings is that while high Tier 2 Strategic costs may encourage military conflict, they discourage trade and politicking as well as suddenly slowing down the overall pacing of the game. Everyone wants those resources, but even the leader of the pack is sluggish.
Further, Titanium and Hyperium are so common, so ridiculously abundant, yet have so few costs (all restricted to the early game) that we're all swimming in them and the marketplace is paved with the stuff.
Also, despite common wisdom, this will not nerf mining buildings and heroes. On the contrary, in regards to Adamantian and Antimatter, it would buff them by increasing their overall purchasing power, in much the same way that money goes further the cheaper products become.
NOTE: This idea will have a linked example mod available later.
