ICON_IMPROVE_INCUBATION_CENTER links to the uniticon.txt:

ICON_IMPROVE_INCUBATION_CENTER { FirstFrame "UPIP033L.TGA" Movie "NULL" Gameplay "IMPROVE_INCUBATION_CENTER_GAMEPLAY" Historical "IMPROVE_INCUBATION_CENTER_HISTORICAL" Prereq "IMPROVE_INCUBATION_CENTER_PREREQ" Vari "IMPROVE_INCUBATION_CENTER_STATISTICS" Icon "UPIP033L.TGA" LargeIcon "NULL" SmallIcon "NULL" StatText "IMPROVE_INCUBATION_CENTER_STATISTICS" }

For the images you have to define FirstFrame for the Great Library and Icon for the city build screen. Gameplay, Historical, Prereq and Vari are text entries used in the Great Library. StatText is text entry used in the city build screen. IMPROVE_INCUBATION_CENTER_GAMEPLAY, IMPROVE_INCUBATION_CENTER_HISTORICAL, IMPROVE_INCUBATION_CENTER_PREREQ, IMPROVE_INCUBATION_CENTER_STATISTICS can be found in the Great_Library.txt.

I hope tese pieces of information will help.

Change
Description DESCRIPTION_IMPROVE_CITY_CLOCK
Description DESCRIPTION_IMPROVE_LIBRARY

on your entries to

Description DESCRIPTION_IMPROVE_ARENA

and this will solve your problem

There were no problems with the Description entry.

Now here is the statement of the Apolyton Modification Section:

quote: Description - This string is not used within the game but must reference a valid String ID from one of the string files.

The string file is called: junk_str.txt

Here is my addition to this file:

DESCRIPTION_IMPROVE_MIND_CONTROL_EMITTER "junkstring_DESCRIPTION_IMPROVE_IMPROVE_MIND_CONTROL_EMITTER"

That's the reason why my add-building works. But Hexagonian is absoluty right, you can use any valid Description from junk_str.txt.

ICON_IMPROVE_DEFAULT { FirstFrame "UPLG001.TGA" Movie "NULL" Gameplay "NULL" Historical "NULL" Prereq "NULL" Vari "NULL" Icon "UPIP001L.tga" LargeIcon "NULL" SmallIcon "NULL" StatText "NULL" }

I never took a look on these *.tga files but you can do it. Just replace one of the FirstFrame andIcon entries for one of the other buildings to UPIP001L.tga and than it is available, but do not ask me what you will see. It can be a blanc or something different or another building.
