Doesn't that mean that those tenents would be "no-brainers", so it's not really a strategic choice?It is acceptable — desirable — to me that there are some must-have tenets for some civs.
The super culture moai tiles are now "bad"? When the heck did that happen?Just look at how sad Eki/Pata-Pata (and to an extent, Moai) yields are.
At the end of the day, there will always exist optimized choices for certain civs. If your playing the Zulus and not taking Authority....I mean sure you CAN play without authority, but your certainly handicapping yourself. That's just the nature of any game. The goal is not to remove all no-brainer choices for a civ, that will always exist, the goal is to ensure there are enough strategic choices to still provide a good game.Doesn't that mean that those tenents would be "no-brainers", so it's not really a strategic choice?
And we did. First me, then @azum4roll. I think he did a good research and the change will be the first step towards further balancing "without" the tenet bonuses.The super culture moai tiles are now "bad"? When the heck did that happen?
And if people want to boost the Eki, GO AHEAD. The huns are 4th from last, even with these "terribly OP" tenents boosting the Eki. You want to make it stronger, these tenents aren't holding you back. Just put in a proposal and do it.
My caps were meant for emphasis not yelling, but I apologize if anyone thought otherwise.There's no reason to yell at anyone because he has different opinion.
The main difference is, that all other civilizations have "base" versions of these buildings, that also get boosts, while they surely do not have the base version of the improvement. So, when you pick up a policy it doesn't matter if you have UB or not, you always get the bonus.This is the same to me as saying "UBs of a certain class gain the policy benefits applied to that building, therefore we should remove the free yields the UB gets from the policy, and bake it into the building itself".
Are those policies also no-brainers? Do you always pick Mercantilism (Markets, Caravansaries, Customs Houses, Banks, and Stock Exchanges gain science and culture) if you're Arabia, Egypt, Germany?
And when you pick the Tenet is also important, it competes with other choices even within its own ideology.
It's losing when you exclude cheated votes.People are getting salty in the moai defense bonus thread about a possible nerf to Polynesia.
Meanwhile this thread’s leading proposal changes 4 / 3 / 3 on moai to 2.
I’m catching heat in one vote, meanwhile the proposal that wants to SUPLEX moai yields is winning here.
Quoted for truth.But these tenets all also boost other improvements. You are getting a bonus to the "base version" of tile improvements. That tile could have been something that isn't your UTI, and it would have benefited from the tenet as well (assuming you picked the right tenet).
