Aristocracy Effect Messages

[EmperorFool]

Aristocracy currently provides two effects, but the text (at least in English) is a little confusing. The first effect is

+20% for building Wonders.​

which sounds like it applies when building both National and World wonders. However, the second effect is

+4 for National and World Wonders.​

which raises doubt about the first effect. Both should say the same thing: "Wonders" for simplicity or "National and World Wonders" for clarity.

One could argue that saying just "Wonders" could make it sound like the second effect provides culture to Natural Wonders, or that you cannot build Natural Wonders is the reason the first effect isn't qualified. But I think clarity trumps brevity to avoid confusion.

I changed it to "national and wonders" for Gem v1.6.9. I figure most people think of world wonders when they hear the word "wonders." The problem with "national and world" is it's so long the text wraps around to two lines, which makes it harder to read... yes I'm a perfectionist.

national and wonders

This reads strangely to me. "National" isn't a thing.

I would prefer both messages just referred to Wonders. I don't think anyone would be confused and think Natural Wonders were boosted.

Oh, that was a typo, I meant to say "national and world." I just worry that people ignore the policy if they don't intend to get world wonders.

I just think that both need to say the same thing. Having different text implies different application.

Agreed. If both say "National and World Wonders" then all is well. If only one says it, then change both to use the shorter version.
