Quick Question re: Market/Grocer

[Rancidlunchmeat]

Do Markets and Grocers increase gold, or do they increase commerce?

It was my understanding that they gave +25% gold, and therefore weren't of value in commerce/science cities.

But this chart:

http://www.civfanatics.com/civ4/info/improvements/

Says they both provide +25% commerce, which would make them of great value to commerce/science cities.

Is that civfanatics chart just wrong?

[Rancidlunchmeat]

Well.. Just got home and checked the manual and the manual clearly says that markets and grocers give +25% gold, not commerce.

So I guess I'll just chalk up that incorrect chart as another example of the people over at CFan not understanding the difference between gold and commerce.

In fairness once upon a time the gold and commerce icons were identical.

Altough they "only" boost gold, it's worth noting that they'll give a greater boost to science than +25% science would, if your slider is set to 40% science or lower.
