  I tried to list trade/gold/lux/science multiplication problems a 
couple of years ago when I tried to create CTP2 rulesets. Some of these 
might have been fixed since:

  4. Government bonus/penalty to tile food/prod/trade is 1
  5. Field units cause 1 point of unhappiness even when not aggressive
  6. Unit upkeep graphics
  7. Colossus/King Richard/Highway has output bonus 1
  8. Colossus bonus applies to tiles with at least 1 trade output 
(should this be multiplied or not?)
  9. Prod -> gold conversion rate is 1:1 with Capitalization/Coinage
  10. Cost of production points for hurrying production is not ruleset 
controlled
  11. Capturing barbarian leader gives 100 gold
