Food Economy - Tradable Bonus Resources 2016-10-05

Food Economy (V2)

This mod is a total rework for Bonus Resources in the game which are currently useless and give nothing but small yield on the tile of the resource. This mod aims to enhance bonus resources to be more useful and to have impact on the game.


Mod components


Basically this mod applies enhancements to current Bonus resources, and make Bonus resources tradable.

1. Enhanced Bonus Resources:

Food Resources gives +1 :c5food: Food in each city that has a granary, this bonus is not on the food resource tile but is empire wide bonus.
If you have 10 cities with Granary then claiming 1 Wheat will result in +1 :c5food: food in 10 cities, this is a total +10 :c5food: food to your empire which is as powerful as being an ally with a maritime city state.

Changes:
  • Granary Building:
    • Stores 25% :c5food: Food in city after growth instead of +2 :c5food:.
    • Receives:
      +1 :c5food: Food from at least 1

      connected anywhere in your empire.
    .
  • On first bonus resource connected a penalty is applied: Double cost on next policy.
    Penalty is only on first Bonus Resource connection and for one time only, after that you can connect as many resources with no penalty. This is to encourage player to connect a bonus resource as soon as possible because the penalty will be low at early stages (where policy costs are still below 100 culture).
