VP Congress: Session 4, Proposal 22
Problem:
The great work screen currently looks like this:
This screen gets bloated with 1-slot GW buildings that make it harder to find themes and manually optimize great works. This whole system has received complaints as busywork, and I think one of the contributing factors is that we have a lot of useless buildings bloating this screen. If we can add enough GW slots to common buildings (horizontal columns), I see no reason to have so many other buildings polluting the rows on the list and creating a long scroll list.
Each religious building, which are given sometimes with wonders, or are selected with religions, adds another line to the Great Works menu.
There are also a handful of national wonders that have 1-2 GW slots for no discernible purpose.
Also note that the Cathedral appears in the horizontal list. That building appears there even if you don't have any Cathedrals on empire. The horizontal list is organized by all common buildings in the order of their tech unlock. The broadcast tower is the last tech-unlocked building, and since it runs out of common buildings with prereq techs, it starts to fill the list with belief buildings, because they have no maximum number of buildings allowed on empire (like guilds and national wonders), but they are the first "common building" with prereq tech = 'NULL', alphabetically.
Solution:
Remove free GW slots from all religious buildings:
Cathedral, Stupa, Mandir, Cathedral, Church, Mosque, Synagogue, etc.
We might also discuss removing slots from some early national wonders, but those ones are causing less of a problem (they only exist in 1 city) and they are arguably more necessary.

) who need religious buildings as slots for the first GWorks.
. Which should happen, I think, because your proposal solves a lot of the Culture Overview problems. It is fair, as often in the VP Congress, without compromise.
