Yields on improvements are already on Pogost. This focuses more on strategic resources instead. It's still a net loss on yields so I put 2 more damage reduction to compensate.
I've also considered giving attrition damage (2 or 3 per turn) to each land tile owned by the city, but I'm not sure if the AI can handle that.

Grapeshot (+33% Combat Strength when attacking Melee and Gunpowder Units.)
The current Licorne is insane. It unlocks earlier when Tercio is the main infantry unit, and completely decimates them while tanking at least one hit (even with a bit of flanking) because of the +50% bonus, if they can catch up at all. It also naturally resists ranged by being a siege unit, so the only weakness is Lancer, which requires tech parity with Russia, a civ with a
Science focus.
The proposed version pushes back the unlock to Rifling, re-adds the half speed in enemy territory, and nerfs Grapeshot so it only negates Siege Inaccuracy (-33%) against Melee and Gunpowder units. Nonetheless, with 45 base RCS it's still going to do a large chunk of damage against Fusiliers, especially in open terrain. Lancers remain a counter, but not as much.
