Architecture upgrade wording misleading

This probably won't get fixed,and I don't know how it could be fixed,but the wording on the first architecture upgrade space [when you hover over it] is misleading. It says you get one corn every time you build a building,but if you build two buildings on the same turn you only get one corn,not two.

Hi, this is the correct rule, you get the bonus only for one building, not two. This is displayed on Tikal 4 case

Yes,the rule is correct.What is misleading is the wording when you hover over the upgrade space,which says quite clearly that you get one corn every time you build a building.

I was referring to the first architecture upgrade space.

It's ambiguous because the word "time" is ambiguous.

It doesn't say that you get a corn for every building you build, so it's not clearly wrong. But it's not clearly right either because "every time" could reasonably be interpreted as "one corn for each building". It's not that easy to find a good unambiguous wording, maybe sth like "one corn for each action that let's you build one or two buildings".

The way it works is that you mostly build buildings using the two-building/one monument space.When you activate the space,it invites you to build a monument or a building.If you build a building,it invites you to build another building.So effectively,you are building one building two times,not two buildings at the same time.This is proven because if you upgrade your architecture with the first building,you do get the one-corn bonus when you buy the second building.But even if you started with an upgraded architecture,you wouldn't get the bonus twice,even though the wording clearly states that you gain one corn 'every time you build a building'.

There are even some buildings that enable you to build an extra building,but you wouldn't get an extra corn for that,either.

Maybe "every turn" instead of "every time"?

Yes,that would work.

This is incorrect, architecture will work again in this case.

The only limit is that you may not use architecture on both builds of T4. This is clearly stated in the T4 action space. There is no need to reword the architecture tech, because as a GENERAL RULE, it works for each building. T4 is a SPECIFIC EXCEPTION.
