[Vote] (5-76) Buffing Moais

[Enginseer]

	Current	Proposed	Rationale
Moais	Must be built adjacent to the Coast. +1 Production and +1 Culture. +1 Culture for each adjacent Moais. +1 Production at Engineering. +1 Gold at Flight. +1 Culture at Astronomy. +1 Culture at Architecture. Grants +20% Combat Strength to nearby Polynesian Units within 3 tiles.	Must be built adjacent to the Coast. +1 Production and +1 Culture. +2 Border Growth Points. +1 Culture for each adjacent Moais. +1 Culture for being adjacent to a City. +1 Production at Engineering. +1 Gold at Flight. +1 Culture and -1 Border Growth Point at Astronomy. +1 Culture and -1 Border Growth Point at Architecture. Grants +20% Combat Strength to nearby Polynesian Units within 3 tiles.	Based on the results of Polynesia's underperformance... in AI games, I think a small buff to their Unique Improvements might push them to be at least average. Some Border Growth Points to let them mature into Culture as you research technology should improve their early game but not affect their mid-late game snowball if they snowball. A +1 Culture was added for being adjacent to a City since you mainly want to settle your cities by the coast but at the same time you want to stack as many Moais as the coast as possible... quite a dilemma. Why have it?

Loosing a tile adjacent to coast both forbid a Moai (which gain 1 culture per adjacent Moai), and deny adjacency for other Moai. You could go up adjacency from city to 2 instead, and I wouldn't bother.

I like how this adds BGPs that evolve into full culture points over the course of the game. That's cute.
Also solves the issue of polynesia punishing you for settling on coast, because a Moai could have gone there. Nice.

I will sponsor this.

BGP stuff is such random fluff.
