(9-035a) Empire Size Modifier Rebalance

[FPXI]

The Proposal has also been amended to account for Walls of Babylon / Lamassu Gate, which also lose their Empire-Size reduction modifiers. I think the change is neutral for Babylon since they don't mind a shift toward taller play, Assyria might need compensation, but the difference isn't so large that i think it should be a concern right now.

Note that Adopt the Yassa will reduce this to +4.2% per city for the Mongols.

That actually isn't true as late game wide Babylon is one of the strongest wide civs with the GS bonus from Walls of Babylon.

Yeah after playing a bunch of Babylon this week I realize how insanely not true it is. Going wide is crazy good for them. I think it's okay if they have to think a little more about which cities to found when though. It's not like their walls are suddenly bad.

That's right. I it's a small improvement efficiency for Adopt the Yassa relative to base. Since there's considerable modification of the Mongol kit elsewhere, I don't think itmakes sense for me to try and project the overall balance though.

I've updated the original post to clarify the logic of this proposal and what it impacts.

I'll self sponsor this.
