Goddess of the Harvest provides far too much faith

I've seen this in at least two games since the fall patch was released

Before chopping:


And after:


According to the description, I should get an amount of faith equal to production (59 in this case). In reality, I get 7 times as much. The discrepancy seems to become more pronounced as the game draws on.

 

So, it went from not working...

... to working too well.

Kudos Firaxis!

 

Yeah, I saw that thread when I searched before posting this bug report to see if anybody else reported it. It's pretty hilarious.

 

I made a tiny mod to remove the pantheon as a work-around for the current version: https://forums.civfanatics.com/resources/no-goddess-of-harvest.25673/

By the way, in the late game (T240 or so), I got about 4000 faith from a single chop.

 

It may be related to game speed, in what speed do you play?

 

I don't think chopping in general is adjusted for game speed. I play on standard, for the record. Do you see something different when trying the pantheon?

 

It's not, I'm tracking game speed scaling issues and it's one of them.

It would be hilarious, and sad, if they made the faith from Goddess of the Harvest scale with game speed but not the chopping itself.

 

I am fixing all of them. I've fixed tons regarding game speed scaling. Tourism, Religion, Barbarian spawning, barbarian boldness, on and on.

I am doing more work on scaling this morning.

 

It multiplies the bonus per city. 2 cities = 2 times faith. 3 cities = 3 times faith, etc.

 

Yep, I wasn't aware of it. I've tried fixing it, and have been unable to so far.

 

So its working as designed now. They just need to correct the in-game documention to note that the amount of Faith provided is the harvest yield multiplied by the current number of cities.

It's a good reason to focus on faith exclusively, until one can choose "Goddess of the Harvest" as one's Pantheon belief.

Seriously, I really wanted to choose this belief to see how well it would work in comparison to other faith generating beliefs. Now, I'm not so sure I want that much faith. There are plenty of legitimate ways of generating massive amounts of faith, like a Holy Site as the first district in every city, building all religious buildings and using all policies that maximize faith.

 

This has been addressed in the Winter Patch.
