Counterproposal to (6-58a) Move Forges Earlier and Nerf Them
Same as proposed at (6-58a), but:
Earth Mother (pantheon)
Rename to God of Fire
Increase bonus to Mines on Resources from +1
to +1
+1 Faith and Culture from Mines on resources.
Remove +1 to Monuments
Add +2 and to Forges
Improvement change:
Now Mines can benefit from two-adjacent bonus
Rationale:
Mines was too strong because of a Forge.
With proposed "God of Fire" Mines could be too strong because of a pantheon. Instead we could add 2 instant Production to Forges
Nerf of a Forge makes it possible to equalize Mines with other improvements that can be built in a triangular format (Farms, Lumber Mills).
Construction process will be more intuitive now, since there are no differences in mechanics.
Two-adjacent bonus itself is still a random option and available only on a distance
