This is yet another patch that makes civilizations more similar. On the other hand, it works well with @wraitii's forum suggestion to look at civs as groups.
As you probably know, ptol houses, corrals, farmsteads, and storehouses don't cost resources, but have a higher building time and less health.
Some people object to free houses (e.g. @Sundiata in this forum post). Moreover, while sun-dried mud bricks were indeed a common building in Egypt, they were used elsewhere as well.
This patch therefore removes the current Ptolemaic civ bonus, and instead gives ptol houses and economic structures −50% wood cost, but +50% build time.

I like how it works in a23, having less health. I also agree that it shouldn't cost 0 resources, this is illogical and is the only thing that would change. Affecting other civilizations seems to me a very big step now.
I like the chosen value of 50%.

It is. Should that be left out?

Well, I'm glad someone looks critically at the actual modifications! I noticed I'm making quite a few mistakes lately, probably the result of writing many patches in quick succession. Rushing things is risky, I know.

No hard feelings. We all make mistakes, especially under pressure. As long as we can point them out to eachother respectfully it's good :) (For me at least.)
