Default Re: Learning to love Resources

That isn't generally my play style, but okay, no PD degeneration - I agree that anything which increases micromanagement is a non-starter.

KtB - let's assume that you build 20 forts over the entire course of a 50 turn game.

Furthermore, let's assume that every single one of them is a walled city. That's 24,000 gold. Each 10% is 2,400 gold.

Over 50 turns your income from your *capital alone* is 20,000 gold base, each level of order is 1,400 gold. So, assuming you have only that 1 province, and build 20 forts, the gold bonus would be slightly bigger than the bonus from Order.

I agree that it's a big bonus - and that 5%/level would still be attractive for anyone wanting to cover their territory with Forts, so maybe 5% instead. But it's hard to imagine circumstances where the 10%/level would be game-breaking.
