current situation:
Incan UA makes mountains workable, and they give 1:c5food::c5gold::c5science:, scaling with era.

Terrace Farms give 1:c5food:2:c5production:, and have the following adjacency bonuses:
TF gains +1:c5food: for each adjacent mountain​
TF gives +1:c5food: to each adjacent Terrace Farm and normal Farm​
That's a lot of abilities that give food. And a bit convoluted.
In fact, every ability that the Inca possess at minimum gives 1 food, and maybe another yield type. Mountains give food on themselves, and then additional food to a food improvement that also has 2 other adjacency bonuses which also give food. It all blurs together.

Proposal:
Change yields on Mountain to 1:c5production::c5gold::c5science:
Increase base yield on Terrace Farm from 1:c5food:2:c5production: to 2:c5food:2:c5production:
Change Terrace Farm adjacency to:
+1:c5food: for each adjacent mountain​
+1:c5food: for every 2 adjacent Farms and Terrace Farms​
Change Farms Adjacency to +1:c5food: for every 2 adjacent Farms and Terrace Farms
In other words, Terrace Farms seemlessly act as normal Farms for YieldPerTwoAdjacent.

rationale

This is a 3rd deployment of the planned ability to add multiple tile types for 2 tile adjacencies.
There are two other approved proposals which are also waiting on this new code: Manufactories and a new unique Villa improvement for Rome.
In this case, the 2 improvement adjacency yield can simplify and streamline the Terrace farm to act simply as a farm that can be built on hills, and allows Inca to make farm triangles in land that has a mix of hilly and flat terrain. The current terrace farm has a mix of Yields To X and yields From Y abilities that make it hard to understand.
The current full +1:c5food: that Terrace Farms give Farms is stronger... for farms, but this change could make farms/terrace farms mutually boost each other. This is preferable than the current situation, where Inca's UI makes nearby farms the thing worth working, rather than itself.
 
To clarify:
Change Farms Adjacency to +1:c5food: for every 2 adjacent Farms and Terrace Farms

Farms will not get +1 Food for 1 farm + 1 terrace farm, it must be 2 farm or 2 terrace farm specifically to grant +1 Food to the Farm itself.

Need to check with @Rekk on that. It’s his implementation. I believe giving yields for mixed improvement types was the intent, but might not have been doable
 
Magi - The Proposal has Failed due to a Lack of Sponsorship. It is thus locked and moved to the appropriate subforum.

Note : This proposal's sponsorship depended on the implementation of a table validated during Congress 3. Since it hasn't been implemented yet, and @Rekk hasn't given an answer to the feasibility of this implementation for now, I consider this proposal as not sponsored.
