current situation:
Incan UA makes mountains workable, and they give 1, scaling with era.
Terrace Farms give 12, and have the following adjacency bonuses:
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
Increase base yield on Terrace Farm from 12 to 22
Change Terrace Farm adjacency to:
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 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.
Incan UA makes mountains workable, and they give 1, scaling with era.
Terrace Farms give 12, and have the following adjacency bonuses:
TF gains +1 for each adjacent mountain
TF gives +1 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
Increase base yield on Terrace Farm from 12 to 22
Change Terrace Farm adjacency to:
+1 for each adjacent mountain
+1 for every 2 adjacent Farms and Terrace Farms
Change Farms Adjacency to +1 for every 2 adjacent Farms and Terrace Farms
In other words, Terrace Farms seemlessly act as normal Farms for YieldPerTwoAdjacent.rationale
