I recently wasted two of my great people to start a golden age and did not see any effect. I was producing the same amount of gold and research during the golden age as when there was no golden age. Are there any effects for a golden age in FfH or is it just a way to waste two great people?

As far as I know it should be the same as in vanilla, we havent changed anything in that regard.

But then you have to ask yourself how strong the vanilla golden age is.

Doesn´t it give +50% gold and hammers ?

I checked in the Civilopedia and I was right.
So if you have only grassland with farms (so only food), you will not have a big bonus. But if you have sea tiles, cottages, mines or even plains with farms, you got a nice bonus.
The Golden Age is really efficient with a lot of cities. If you have only 3 or 4 city, using the great person as great specialist should be a better idea. But with 30 or 40 cities, the golden age become really powerful.

Before the extra hammer was taken away from Arcane Lore, golden ages were really powerful. Of course, a hills/grassland cottage will still get that bonus, as will forest cottages. I never really used great people to make golden ages, though, so it doesn't effect my playstyle much.
Yeah... the best way to get a golden age is doubtless the Bone Palace. That being said, if a GP farm of mine is pumping out lots of superfluous Great Merchants, Bards, Prophets, or Sages, I might consider using them (especially Merchants and Bards... while Prophets and Sages are useful once or twice, Merchants and Bards are only rarely useful).
