I can plug my city into Minmax's calculator and mathmatically verify that
This holds true through chapter 15.
It falls apart in chapter 16 for me because I am utterly cray-cray about upgrading my wonders.
Playing with minmax calculator I can reduce the impact significantly by favoring premium expansions, keeping my city compact, and limiting my overall number of wonders. Also at that point I can hybridize and add fighting wonders to my mix which will have a significant positive impact.
So the only question is what percentage of players were beyond saving when the changes came in? @Jackluyt IMO more than 5% of players had too many expansions down to make use of the above strategy. The unfortunate wonders can be deleted but that would be painful. Also, any fighter hitting chapter 16 with a max level perfect wonder set up will see a performance reduction. I think that equals more than 5% but being crazy about my own wonders might incline me to prejudice. I am not in the top 5% and my performance will take a hit after chapter 15. Prior to chapter 15 my performance will increase.
.the slight increase in tournament and spire expense is more than offset by the benefits of having a stronger developed city - particularly if one is choosy about which AW's to boost one's individual style of play.
