(9-003b) Teocalli Nerf

Mostly copied from the base proposal
Parts that differ are bolded and Red

Motivation
Teocallis are by far the strongest follower belief even for civs that aren't super aggressive and are a no brainer for every domination civ. They provide 3 strong bonuses: faith on kill, supply, and XP. In particular, the faith on kill scales out of control mid/late game to generate insane amounts every turn if you are at war and have a fairly wide empire.

The global faith is kinda neat, and it is fun to have the global numbers pop off everywhere. Non-scaling global yields on kill were coded specifically for the Teocalli, because they are fun and different. I think they can be saved if the numbers are low enough that they cannot majorly contribute to global faith production.

Proposal Summary

• Teocalli
  • Reduce to 10 XP from 15 XP
  • Change to 10 faith per kill in the city the Unit was produced in and 2 faith in all other cities. Changed from 5 faith per kill from each Teocalli (greatly reduce scaling from lots of cities)
• Chichen Itza
  • Remove free Teocalli (Chichen Itza is already a strong wonder without this and now it would be even stronger)

Current Teocalli

• 2 Faith
• 15 XP for Land/Water/Air Units
• 1 Military Supply
• +25% Religious Pressure towards other Cities if Belief unlocking this Building belongs to Majority Religion
• -1 Unhappiness from Food and Production Distress
• 5 Faith when an owned Unit defeats a Military Unit

Proposed Teocalli (Changes in Bold)

• 2 Faith
• 10 XP for Land/Water/Air Units
• 1 Military Supply
• +25% Religious Pressure towards other Cities if Belief unlocking this Building belongs to Majority Religion
• -1 Unhappiness from Food and Production Distress
• 10 Faith when an owned Unit produced from this City defeats a Military Unit (actually 8 locally, not scaling with era)
• 2 Faith in all other cities with a Teocalli when an owned Unit defeats a Military Unit (10 in the original city, because 8 + 2 = 10)

Current Chichen Itza

• 1 Culture
• 1 Great Engineer Point
• On Completion: Gain Free Teocalli
• +50% Golden Age duration
• -10% Empire Size Modifier in all Cities

Proposed Chichen Itza

• 1 Culture
• 1 Great Engineer Point
• On Completion: Gain Free Teocalli
• +50% Golden Age duration
• -10% Empire Size Modifier in all Cities

Unfortunately this requires a simple addition of EraScaling column to the Building_YieldFromVictory table, so not 100% database.

 

[pineappledan]

Oh dang, really? I thought that was already added

 

[KlHannibal2]

Sounds good. I would still leave the teocalli with chichen itza (or another wonder), just to have a chance to get a single one if you missed the belief.

 

[pineappledan]

Teocalli is unacceptably strong as a single building. That would be even more true with the yields shifting to local yields on kill and away from Global.
Even now, it is almost like a free Brandenburg gate if you make all your units out of 1 city.
No, it is even more urgent that we remove it from the wonder with these changes.
