In the few games i've played i've noticed that the cottages->towns seem to be very powerfull.
The AI builds almost nothing except cottages to get more money, and my automated workers do the same. When using a non-automated worker, i can also see that the AI recommends building a lot of cottages.
Then as the game moves on and the cottages grow, i notice that i get an insane amount of money. I'm playing on noble, have a 90% tax rate and still rake in over 100gpt on 4 cities.
Doesn't seem right, does it? And as you get more technologies, the towns give you even more gold.
ANyone else made similar observations?
My solution would be to reduce each cottage->town improvement by -1 gold. So basically the cottage gives no gold and first needs to grow into a hamlet, where it will begin to give a 1 gold bonus.
I haven't tested it yet, but perhaps that will get the AI to diversify his improvements and do other things besides hoard gold.
