Funny you should say experiment. LOL.
I just did. I recommend only modding the LAND terrain.
I was able to get a general increase over all.
New game with YIELD values at 2 on LAND terrain gave me 5 grain/4 Material and 4/4 with the majority being 5/3 or 4/3 but I succeeded in getting a slight boost to base materials which was my goal without Overpowering it.
I will keep you posted on how it progress over several game starts.
Ok cool, I can get a fairly consistant and spread out 5-4, 5-3, 4-4 and 4-3 grain/material ratio. So looks like this is a win. Oh and I managed to get Clay to show up fairly regularly too. All things considered it is a good MODDING Day.
I ended up lowering the value from 2 back to 1.5 to even things out a bit more and still keep a challenge; seems to be working out.
