You can't.

give the super weapon an auxilary building and put a price tag on it. That way you can only get the super weapon if you purchase the auxilary building.

I suppose this is something to add for HP.

I was going to test making a super weapon with a building with following tags for my mod but decided to scrap the idea:

PlaceAnywhere=yes (if this does not work, try Adjacent=1000)
Invisible=yes
LegalTarget=no
Selectable=no
BaseNormal=no

Then give the building either a Buildup or Active animation that spawns your super weapon (with debris logic or normal animations). You could also use the BuildUp animation to create some effect for it. I never actually tested it but i don't see why it wouldn't work. Only problem would be not being able to place it in a square where there are buildings or units, only next to it. Also the super weapon would appear in the buildings list in the sidebar.

But this way you can't give it a certain reload time.
And the more conyards you have, the faster you can "build" the superweapon attacks.
Both points would make them very overpowered imo.

Huh? The Tag is disabled in vanilla TS anyway o.O Ok, you may enable it, but you also may just leave it as it is

I guess it would work better for high priced superweapons. Like it would cost 3000 or something per shot, then it would cost alot and build pretty slowly and also halt you from building anything else. It could also have decently long buildup animation and buildlimit=1, so you have to wait a little before you can build another one.

Theres of course one other way to do superweapons with a cost. Give a unit the superweapon as its main weapon and have it move in closer to the target, then fire it while self-destructing (or not self-destruct but have an extremely high rate of fire). This unit should also have buildlimit=1. There are tutorials already how to do this kind of thing.

Regardless how you set the properties of the SW-Units and SW-Buildings, they won't give you an alternative for a real SW. They always have flaws (e.g. AI clone bug, which gives the AI more than one SW-Unit even if it has Buildlimit=1) and also need a different micromanagment (which takes away the feeling of a SW).

To give only one building a slower buildup duration is not possible. You can only raise the amount of frames of the buildup anim and this causes bugs too.
