Realistically yes, but gamewise the additional amount produced never amounts to anything.  Otherwise you should get some small increase, +1 for every 5 (or whatever) pop.
Your agonizer, please.

Perhaps something to mention to Kyrub or Yitzi then? :)

Well, I have no idea of what would be "fair," and I was just discussing BU's premise.  Sometimes gameplay trumps realism.  If you didn't get a standard amount of resources with your base, and your starting base were on a flat, arid, low square (no look first), so you were penalized on everything, you'd be screwed.

I've thought about base square yield...and anything other than what it is would be seriously worse for gameplay.

* Random quote

As the writhing, teeming mass of mindworms swarmed over the outer perimeter, we saw the defenders recoil in horror. 'Stay calm! Use your flame guns!' shouted the commander, but to no avail. It is well know that the Mind Worm Boil uses psychic terror to paralyze its prey, and then carefully implants ravenous larvae into the brains of its still-conscious victims. Even with the best weapons, only the most disciplined troops can resist this horrific attack.
