Initiation Rites Bug?

[arand86]

I'm not sure if I'm the only one experiencing this, but very often, when I have initiation rites and convert a new city, I don't get the 100 gold as advertised, I get 67 gold. Is this purely a bug? I'll try to get a screenshot if I can

Gamespeed?

It's probably a game speed thing, on quick rewards / costs are reduced to 2/3rds.

 

[arand86]

Huh. But does that mean that all other beliefs like tithe are 2/3's as well? It doesnt feel like it

 

[Browd]

Nope, Tithe is still 1 gpt/4 followers. But the game should only last 2/3 as long (more or less), so it's balanced.

Yes, it is 67 on quick speed (it also baffled me).. they REALLY need to fix that text.. it's very misleading.

That's strange that it scales but some other things don't. Like the cost of embassies and open borders is the same no matter the game speed (at least on epic and marathon, which is what I play).

But deals only last for 25 turns, instead of 30.

Yes, but the AI will pay 1 gpt for 30 turns for an embassy on Standard, but not 1 gpt for 45 turns on Epic. I started to play BNW on Standard and used this to get some extra gold now that lump sum requires friendship. When I moved to my usual marathon or epic speed, I was disappointed to discover that they wouldn't accept it and learned how to make do without the extra gold
