That being said I like the idea of turn time as resource. This is pretty subjective and it's tough to take in a balance equation since skill level also comes into play here and you want to try and balance the game for a reasonably wide skill level. I guess a big drawback on specialist is also they still eat 2 food, so you can also chuck in what's been done in past civs and make specialists also produce 1 food so they essentially only consume 1 food instead of 2.Ĭlick to expand.Doesn't the turn timer take care of the game pacing? I'm not familiar with the typical timer usage for the NQ group which is the target audience for the mod but I've found the dynamic timer to be reasonable. You guys have played with tile yields already with the coast and lighthouse changes so you'd know how feasible how dynamically editing district tile yield is with the current access we have to the code. For the campus though you could make that yield increase based on the buildings present or even use the agency bonus as the base specialist yield and on top adding building bonuses. Upping the yield from specialists in general I think would go a long way to fulfill the designers vision we hard about during development of 'specialized cities'. You can imagine a real fat city be able to man the specialist slots vs a small city not being able to or suffering more from doing it production and growth wise.

Simply because the yield is judged too low vs working an actual tile.

One thing I noticed is pretty much not utilized are specialist slots in your cities to work on say your campus. This is made most evident when playing as or against Germany and they hit Hansas and factories letting them flesh out campuses in all their cities faster then everybody else. There's no real need to dedicate a city to science by building a million science improving things simply because there just aren't that many of those and they are well spaced out in the tech tree.

I think it sort of circumvents the real issue though which I think is that a huge city vs a small city as long as they both of maxed out campuses (which isn't that hard to achieve) there's really not that much difference in science output.
