Food and Production from Discoveries.

[CliffCo]

I feel like it would be better if discoveries sent food and possibly production to the nearest city rather than your capital, or give you a choice of which city you want it going to. My capital is usually the first city that runs out of rural tiles and often has the highest food income.

I like the idea of sending it to the closest city, as that makes more sense, but would definitely prefer a choice to which city it was sent.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I would say 90% of the discoveries occur in the very early game when you have one city and maybe three scouts.

Sure, there are exploration era discoveries, but by that point, 50 food/science etc. is no longer super impactful.

To this point, does anyone else think the exploration age discoveries should be scaled up?

Yes, but I think they should fix the AI first so they actually go after the huts.

In your capital it will not make much of a difference. But if you could get 50 food for your newly founded colony, you could get to that treasure resource a few turns faster.
