Gem v1.9: Faith
Click to see the equation I use to balance yields, or provide feedback on that. I compared average expected yield per city from each belief. Faith yield is handled with educated guesses instead of a formula, since its value changes significantly over time.
I plan to release GEM to Steam by December.

Civup bug
An error appeared in the latest release of the project a few days ago (glitch when attempting to build wonders), but I’ve been sick with the flu since Sunday. I’m starting to recover now. I expect to be able to locate the civup error once my headaches clear up.
Thank you for your patience. 🙂
