I don't think any of the 3.17 changes had any drastic effect on corporations. I didn't really notice any difference on this front after the patch, so the article should still be all up to date.
It did have one drastic effect in that it limited the number of executives you could have at one time hence limiting the sushi spam speed...
What to do with all the gold pouring in?
Build infrastructure and units with universal sufferage, of course.
I'm playing on Genghis Kai's Giant Earth map, and the corps are costing me a fortune. Despite putting the HQs in my Wall Street city with markets and banks etc, I'm still losing at least 15-30g per turn per new sushi branch (in cities with courthouses). And the scaling is even more ridiculous, I'm getting about 6 food from 30 or so resources. Even CivJewels isn't always profitable. The one plus is that I'm getting about 40 culture per branch!
Oh well, guess giant maps have their faults too
Corporations are good, but 90% of the time my game is finished before corporations, I think they should have made the corporations availabel earlier (in fact I would say with Alphabet)
