(9-02) Persian Charbagh Food Buff

[stormfallen]

Motivation: Charbagh yields are a bit weak, especially outside of a golden age. While this is intended as a drawback to the GPP buff, it often ends up feeling bad to choose between working Charbaghs or better tiles (such as the GPTI you're getting earlier). In addition, the low food means working Charbaghs and Specialists together outside of a Tradition capital can be rough, and maximizing Charbaghs means no farm triangles.

Current Charbagh:

• Requires Theology, fresh water, no two adjacent
• 2 Food, 1 Production, 1 Gold, 1 Culture
• +1 Production and Culture during Golden Ages (along with baseline +1 Gold)
• +5% Great Person Points to City working tile
• +1 Production and Culture at Banking
• +2 Gold at Electricity

Proposed Charbagh (changes bolded):

• Requires Theology, fresh water, no two adjacent
• 2 Food, 1 Production, 1 Gold, 1 Culture
• +1 Food, Production and Culture during Golden Ages (along with baseline +1 Gold)
• +5% Great Person Points to City working tile
• +1 Production and Culture at Banking
• +2 Food at Fertlizer
• +2 Gold at Electricity Flight

A little more food makes them easier to work alongside specialists. Also, most other Medieval UIs get 3 boosts from tech, so this equalizes that. The Modern boost is moved back to not have two boosts in a row (looking at you, Feitoria).

I've been playing several Persia games this week and the way Charbagh comes in a smashes all the Farm triangles is very sad.
I agree with a small buff.

That is part of the problem, it's both bad and also inconvenient

I like it. Simple buff to one of the weaker UIs.

Yup. Love it. It'd be nice if it also just counted for farm triangles, frankly, but this is good enough for me.

Charbagh unlocks at the same time as garden, has similar bonuses, and is basically a garden UI. I entertained the idea of adding a yield boost to the charbagh from garden just to tie them together even more strongly.

You could add +1 food from gardens to charbagh

I sponsor this.
