[suggestion] change farmer's market

If I read correctly, it reduces food and increases gold.  Funny, I always seem to be short of food and loaded with money.  In MOM the farmers market increases food.  Hint, hint.

-1 food per grain doesn't really do anything to a nation. It is a meaningless penalty. I would like to see -1 grain and much more gold. Or the other way around. This would be a good thing to build if you got an unexpected grain source that isn't part of your low level city strategy. Since you don't need more grain, you can sell it off. Maybe +10 gold per turn? It really isn't that much gold when you consider the amount of gold/research/labor you make off of each grain by the midgame.

Yeah I forgot to post about this - it reads like -1 grain but it's literally -1 FOOD, which is a totally irrelevant penalty.

It needs to be changed to grain with a greater gold bonus, or simply a larger food penalty, either way. Probably food really, since losing 1 grain is a huge loss due to the way food works.
