Details:
The ruleset can now forbid doing an action to a city based on what it builds.
This is less useful for the "Help Wonder" action than expected.
A rule that forbids using a caravan to help a specific wonder be avoided in
many rulesets. The ability to build another wonder that legally can receive
help from a caravan is needed. The rule is avoided by switching to a wonder
that legally can received help from a caravan, take the shields and then
switch back.
Close this loop hole by only allowing the caravan shields to count if the new
production can be helped by the "Help Wonder" action.
A related loop hole remains for complex rule sets: If "Wonder A" only can
receive help from "Unit 1" while "Wonder B" can receive help from "Unit 2" a
player could switch from "Wonder A" to "Wonder B", use a "Unit 2" to help
build the wonder and then switch back. Solving that isn't in the scope of this
patch.
This only touches caravan shields. Switching between the hard coded categories
still halves the amount of shields.
