Landscapes that are other landscapes

I like it when one card-shaped thing has effects that resemble those of a different type of card-shaped thing: Inheritance is basically a Project, Obelisk is kind of a Trait, Lost in the Woods is essentially an Artifact, and Plateau Shepherds resembles a Landmark. (Am I missing any?) It's interesting to see similar gameplay concepts get implemented with the tools of whatever a given expansion has as its gimmick.

There's also cards that could be a different type without many changes. HoP could easily be a night card, and Landing Party feels like a reserve card for instance. Of course there would be some differences in those cases.

And most Nights could be Treasures.

Bomb, Cannon, and many of the Gunpowder cards can strongly effect gameplay, particularly in a destructive way

I would support the changing of all of those, except plateau shepards.

I works just like a project.
O - just like a trait.
LiW — just like an artifact.

However, PS does not follow the 2-non-card limit and requires a kingdom card to summon it.

I’d argue that Seize the day is a project - since it’s once per game.

I see no other.

Both HoP and Scheme missed their chances to be night.

Seize the Day is something that happens immediately when you buy it, though, not a persistent ability like Projects are—it acts more like an event.

And Scheme would be much worse as a Night card, since Night cards are stop cards!

StD happens once per games and needs some kind of trackability.

Scheme is one that DXV said he might have wanted to do as night.

I made and printed a night version of Scheme to play with, and it was indeed too weak so I changed it.

And most Nights could be Treasures.
All Knights could be Treasures, with Capitalism.

Oops, yes, I forgot how Capitalism worked.
