I remember that pre-G&K floating gardens used to add 15% modifier before subtracting food consumed from total food produced. Now it modifies to the surplus food which makes it quite ordinary. Maybe I am mistaken but this is how it used to work.

Pre-G&K : (40*1.15)-(20) = 26:c5food:
G&K : (40-20)*1.15 = 23:c5food:

Maybe I was playing VEM with vanilla ciV for too long that's why I am confused. :)
 
show us different numbers...

maybe

(120*1.15) -20 = 118

(120 - 20 ) *1.15 = 115

hmm weird..
lets see

(230*1.15) - 20 =244.5

(230 - 20) *1.15 =241.5


well idk if your calculation method is correct since i have never scrolled over the food details whem im playing, but using your formula.. seems like IF IT WAS a nerf, it was just 3 food.. nothing too big.. aztecs still growing huge anyways...

Sorry to say but u r numbers are completely messed up. How can u produce 200+ food with only 10 citizens?? (indicated by -20 food). I guess u never payed much attention to such minor details. ;)

Anyway the nerf becomes more obvious when the difference between food produced & consumed becomes small, this usually occurs when u go heavy on specialists.
 
does this mean aztecs suck now?

i mean 10% food pantheon makes aztecs almost obsolete...

I appreciate your sarcasm but Floating gardens' value has fallen a bit in my eyes.
Previously FG was pretty awesome because no other building/wonder provided the same effect, now it seems to be replaced by a generic effect which many other things have. It takes the uniqueness out of FG rather than making Aztec weak. But still I wish that they change it back.
 
has a new patch arrived in beta or something?
just tested the UB.
15 base food, 13 from terrain 2 from buildings.
size 5. 7.25 bonus food.
15x1.15=17,25 food.

also your math exsamples of 200 base food at size 10 are not ingame numbers.

It still stacks with all those other things, so you can get even more of the same effect that Aztecs used to have.
