Not my best wording but this gives the idea at least...
Proto: Over-Optimization is Boring (AI=1)
Amend rule 2710 (Genetic Modification) by appending the following
paragraph at the end:
In a timely fashion after the end of each Crop Season, if that season
has at least one in-season Crop, then the Land Managor CAN once and
SHALL apply an invisible hand slap by announcement, with such
announcement specifying: 1) the randomly selected in-season (for that
season) Crop; 2) the randomly selected attribute (either Seed Cost or
Sell Price); and 3) the new randomly selected value for that attribute,
chosen from the same range for that attribute that would apply for a
newly created crop as specified above. Upon such announcement, the
selected Crop's selected attribute becomes the selected value.
"Once per Crop Season, the Land Managor CAN and SHALL by announcement
randomly select a type of Crop that was in-season during the previous
season, random attribute (Seed Cost or Sell Price), and random value
for that attribute (as if the type was being created), and change that
attribute of that type to that value. If there is no such type to
select, then e SHALL instead announce that fact."
