Age Progression Points

[Ballcrusher]

Hi everyone

Did the Age Progression Points change with the last patch? And where can I find a list over all the Age Progression Points (for example civ wipe, legacy paths, future tech/civic)?

I'm asking because the legacy screen now tells me I get only 0, 5 and 5 points for legacy milestones. I think it used to be 5, 5 and 10 points.

This screenshot is from a completely new game turn 1 and all mods are turned off.

I think it's just a visual bug

Ok, thanks. But how many age points does a civ wipe give in antiquity and exploration?

I just finished antiquity in a standard game with 3/3/3/2 in legacy points plus 1 civ wipe. I thought that would have ended the age at turn 105, but it ended at turn 115, and I don't fully understand the math. I play with no countdown and all LP's and the civ wipe happened before turn 100.

I have just recently discovered that the age progression from wiping a civ seems to vary by map size.

I know on standard size maps it's 25 turns in Antiquity and 10 turns in Exploration. I mostly play standard size, so I don't know for sure what the numbers are on other sizes. But I think it's 20 turns in Antiquity on Large.

Maybe it's 15 turns on Huge? If that's the case, the math would add up to 115 turns for 3/3/3/2 and one civ wipe there.

Thanks, that must be it. The game was on a huge map

I wonder what's the dev's rationale for giving less points for wiping a Civ on a bigger map. I suppose you get more targets to choose from, but realistically it will be whoever you spawn close to, and on a huge map they will probably have space for more cities, plus more travel time to get to them, making wipes harder.

Age Progression Points= getting closer to the End of the game.

Eliminating 1 civ on a small map (going from 4->3) is getting you a lot closer to the end of the game than eliminating 1 civ on a Large map (going from 10->9)

Also if 1/2 of the civs eliminate their neighbor, you have 2 wipes on a tiny map, 5 wipes on a big map.

(Actually I think the space per civ is fairly constant on the maps)
