uhm i assume this is a joke change
but just for the sake of fun:
wtf? if you get 80% buildings then land trading just got way way better
now you get much more land than the other person loses and can pretty much funnel land through dicts even if you dont want to bother building the land while its there
with theo it takes you 72% of normal turns to build, with dict it takes you 142% of normal turns
but:
1*1=1
.72*1=.72
1.42*.68=.9656
therefore if you you grab on strat buildings and drop 32% of the unbuilt acres you spend less turns building than a monarchy and get get a lot more buildings for free reducing building cost by about 32% compared to doing the same thing now
not to mention you know grab 121.6% as much land off a fully built country as you would previously making it better than tyranny for land gain
1/1.8=55.5% land unbuilt dict
1/1.48=67.56% land unbuilt mono
55.5*1.42=78.81
78.81/67.56=16.65% more turns to build than mono
roughly 25% decrease in building costs, less csite losses than tyranny as they should lose 20% more than dict
1/1.2=83.33%
so if you get to a spot which allows the csite loss to differ by just 1 then thats 1 full bpt of turn saved meaning if you were at ~7 turns of full bpt rebuilding the building speed penalty is cancelled out completely
