I think barbarians could be more of a threat. Currently they are just annoying that they frequently send one unit to pillage and die. I think if they would attack with like 3 or 4 units at a time, they would be more interesting.

Citadels make defending against the AI really easy.

It seems to me that spys are currently at their best when put to city states. I dont have to do missions or send too much diplomatic units and I hold most of the city states as my allies.

+5% yields (capped at 30%) for gold and faith. +3% (capped at 30%) for science and culture. Rationalism policy changed. Flat yields from great works are a cute idea for wide play but feel bad in practice. To be honest I liked the old artistry more.

I agree Artistry feels weak but your values are far too high and would make the tree op. I too would like to see artistry make use of percentile yields as that would be a indirect buff to high population and food. I would change your proposal so +5% yields as opposed to +10%. The +1 happiness...

I'm afraid change for the sake of change applies to a lot of proposals.

I guess I would agree to disagree that it's an overcorrection. Have you played with God of War? It's pretty crap in my experience.

So God of War in its current form is a pretty bad pantheon. I think we all agree on that. In your original proposal you're saying 10% production bonus isn't very noticable, which I agree. Also in your previous post you're saying what I propose is fair. But now all of a sudden a 5% increase is...

People are talking about it because it doesn't fit authority, but a garrison bonus would fit Goddess of Protection so that point is irrevelant. Also you're saying scattershot, while I'm seeing it as a little bit of everything towards one objective, which is obviously protection of your cities...

Your God of War manages to be potentially even worse than the old God of War. I dont know why I would ever take it. The unit production felt great on a warring focused pantheon. With this proposal I see a reason to pick God of War if I'm going for domination. I feel like what I'm proposing fits...

The new god of protection feels kind of gamey trying to reach 10 and 20 defense. What if garrisons gave faith instead?

Just stack it with imperialism garrison bonus so it becomes a real factor.

Thing is, I feel like progress has no real weakness. Unless you want to go really tall. I just always have a great time with it. Cant say the same about tradition and authority. Just my experience.

I feel progress is really strong atm. The happiness opener seems better now with the new happiness system. It's basically got everything. I dont really like the food on connections as that feels like traditions thing but I'm okay with it. I too feel like fealty needs an identity. Feels kind of...
