This is a re-proposal of this proposal that failed 2 congresses ago. It has some significant changes and updates, but is substantially similar.
Problem:
- Cultural victory is too strong. Increasing the production and gold cost of cultural buildings may help address this by raising the infrastructure cost of CV
- Historic events also contribute tourism for CVs. Deferring and Locking some of the HE triggers behind infrastructure could help slow CVs down more too
- Amphitheaters do a bit too much, and are boosted by too many different policies/wonders/beliefs.
- The constabulary is a poor and ill-suited base building for Siam's Wat
Solution:
Split the Writer bonuses from buildings into 2 buildings, like how Musician bonuses are split between the Opera House and Broadcast Tower.
There is also an approved (but not implemented) split for Great Artists/GWArt into Gallery and Museum. Splitting the GWriter guild and theming bonuses completes the set.
Remove the global Historic Event Triggers for Wonders and GP births on empire on the palace, and replace it with local HE triggers on this new building.
Proposal:
Archive (New Building)
Unlocked at Civil Service
350
3 maintenance
1
2 Great Work of Writing Slots (4/4; +3 if themed)
Building Wonders and Generating Great People in this city triggers a Historic Event
Palace:
Amphitheater/Acropolis:
Wat (Siamese UB)
Workshop
move Unlock to Machinery
Creative Expression (Freedom Tenet)
+4 to Archives, Museums, and Broadcast Towers on empire (total yields unchanged, but on 3 buildings instead of 4)
+2 to Great Works
