'Modification' to calm down city walls!

[Apprentice 2 SA]

I find City Walls OTT. I've read all the justifications why online. Nonetheless I'd like to mofify them to calm down their effect. Alternatively, a modifier that doubles the number of shields required to build City Walls. (That might meet the justifications of those who think the effect of City Walls is about right whilst recognising that a much bigger investment must go in to building city walls than the game gives.)

I don't want to change anything else as all else is great! I've never used any sort of modification before.

I'm using Civ 2 Multiplayer Gold with Civ2UIALauncher. Win 10.
I'd like a recommendation of something simple and easy if possible.
Thanks for any help.

(Hope this is the right place to ask. I've put this in both general discussion and tech support. Could a mod please delete whichever is in the wrong place.)

Hi.
You can open file "rules.txt" and edit whatever you with.
I, for example, have edited the cost of most units and city improvements as multiples of 40, as 40 has the most common dividers.
The game, on the other hand, goes by multiples of 50, which I find to be more prone to waste.
