  • +2 food on irrigated Plains/Deserts/Hills

    In my personal, never-finished mod, I have made a radical change to food production.
    • Raised the food bonus for irrigation to +2 for Plains and Deserts
    • Allowed irrigation on Hills with +2 food
    • Raised the production of Jungles to 2 food and 1 shield
    • Allowed irrigation without fresh water with an early Medieval tech
    • Increased the base cost for irrigation to 12 turns (from 8)
    • Removed the Wheat bonus

    Advantages from this:
    • Makes the starting position less decisive, because you can mostly get decent food production
    • Favours slow expansion because you need more time to develop the land
    • Makes Despotism worse because other governments get 3 food from irrigated Plains
    • Makes more of the world inhabitable after some work

    So far, I haven't found any drawbacks.
    The difference between industrial society and information society:
    In an industrial society you take a shower when you have come home from work.
    In an information society you take a shower before leaving for work.
