[Freeciv-Dev] (PR#13498) Pyramids rule change

["Per I. Mathisen" <per@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

<URL: http://bugs.freeciv.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=13498 >

Perhaps this can help the granary discussion.

I always felt there was something wrong with a pyramid giving increased
food production. This was someone's burial chamber, and the only useful
purpose it would serve would be to impress the people who built it and
make them feel small by comparison so that they would be more loyal to
their rulers.

So I made the Pyramids a corruption-limiting wonder instead. It gives 100%
less corruption to the city it is built in, and 25% less corruption in all
other cities. We did lack a corruption reducing wonder.
