great people

In Civilization 7, there is a chance to trigger a story related to the Great Person after retiring. In general, 1 out of 10 Great People will be triggered at random. This mod has changed the probability of triggering to 100%, making it easier for players to experience all the stories associated...

At the 1:15:00 mark, Carl mentions that "great people are unique to certain civs" which seems to imply that some civs cannot get any great people. How do you feel about this? I had no issue with civ specific great people but I hate the idea of only certain civs having access to great people from...

So I have a rough (and admittedly not very well thought out) idea of how to redo Great Persons concept-wise and mechanics-wise. In this post I might also refer to half-backed mechanics that do not exist in Civ 6. Great Persons are special civilian units, but now there are no different types of...

I just got Joseph Paxton, Great Engineer (Civ 6). His active ability is to provide +1 Amenity within an Entertainment District for each "regional building." I transferred him to Paris (playing as France) and activated him within the Entertainment Complex which has several buildings. Nothing...

So I was recently thinking about a potential game mode that worked similarly to the Heroes gamemode, except instead of adding in fictional legendary people, it would instead add in real life individuals/groups. The current group of people I currently have in mind are people who were covered by...

Hello, my custom civilization has an unique great people class. It's look like Simon Bolivar. Everything is ok, except the GreatPersonIndividualBirthModifiers abilities are not working as it should. If I copy a modifier (example: MEDIC_INCREASE_HEAL_RATE) it's ok but with my custom modifier it's...

NOTE: This Episode was recorded on October 22, 2022. The four-hundred-and-eleventh episode of PolyCast, “We Left the Ladder In, Right?“ is now available for streaming on ThePolyCast.net. This episode features regular co-hosts Stephanie “Makahlua”, Phil "TheMeInTeam", and Jason "MegaBearsFan"...

Great Explorer, same great people points has the Great Admirals, but Land Unit instead For now, all are Portuguese, since the main Great Explorers started in Portugal. They evolved from great soldiers to great explorers of the Sea and new land, from the need of the new world discoveries...

GRANDES EXPLORADORES (AKA Great Explorers) are here! Great Explorers instead of Great Admirals for Portugal: - Portugal Cannot Recruit Great Admirals and others cant recruit Great Explorers. Great Explorers are Land Units (and not ships like Great Admirals), in History, they were great...

Today I was thinking about the math for it. Given a N° of GP, would be min= 3 GPP /turn. Wonders will add another layer of complexity to it. Number of cities producing GP will have an effect on the frequency of their generation, which in each game dynamic, can be more than relevant. For...

Hi I am new here and created this account to share this thought that has been brewing since easter. I sometimes scan the boards on here to keep track of civ news, but for the time being I have little time for video games and even less so video game forums, so be nice if I am completely...

What potential Great People are alive today too be worthy a place in Civ 10 released in an imaginary 2035? Elon Musk? Greta Thunberg? :)

Do you think it looks right having Martin Luther being portrayed as Gandalf the White with a longer beard than Guan Yu? Do you think Abu Al-Qasim Al-Zahrawi looked like Walter White with a thin-wire mustache? If not, or if so, vote on it!

So I had an idea about how to include Film into the game, as it has been an important cultural and political tool for over a century at this point. It would work in a similar way to the Theatre Square and the Great Writers/Artists/Musicians, unlocked in the Modern Era, and becomes very powerful...

If you don’t know And one of the least talked about, yet probably one of the most important part of the leak was the fact that 24 new great people are added. Does this mean more great people in each branch, or does it mean an entirely new branch of great people all together? Does this...

What do Boudicca, Joan of Arc, Mary: shelly, leaky, Cassat, Katherine Goddard, and all other female great persons have in common? They love the Circus, they are the amazing Bearded Woman. I find it utterly ironic and farsical we have an entire forum dedicated for ideas and suggestions, but...

I have created a rather simple adjustment of the Great Person Policies to let them give more points per district, just like the (former) Stockholm City state. Feel free to use in your projects.

Some time ago, I was considering the possibility of unique wonders as additional to Unique units and infrastructures, and I realized... why stop at unique wonders? So I got pondering as to what other uniques could become standard to all civs. (Previous threads: Conservation and National Parks...

This is my first multiplayer game since getting NFP. About every other turn or so, they go from make 2-7 gp points in science, which is consistent with the game era, to suddenly making like 25-27 points per turn. This will stick around for a turn or two, then go back to the original value, and...

I think it makes sense to have Great Philosophers, given their historical importance. Not sure what particular benefits they would add, but I'll trust the devs with this. Maybe a combination or diversity of science and/or culture bonuses, or some unique benefits (similar to great merchants...
