The purpose of this mod is to make Eurekas and Inspirations more vital to your progress through the Tech and Civics trees.
Techs and Civics are now 10 times more expensive. In other words, boosts are necessary for advancement.
Eurekas and Inspirations now boost 95%. This gets you to the cost of where base game boosts get you.
Made some changes to Eurekas and Inspirations for gameplay and for realism.

Changes to Eurekas and Inspirations
Techs
China's trait Dynastic Cycle: Eurekas and Inspirations provide 96% of civics and technologies instead of 95%.
This keeps China at their original balance.
