Classic literature quest

[Mik1984]

It gave me +2 in my library in capital city instead(what I suppose would be correct)in every library.

Think of it like half of a scientist specialist.

Also, quests like these only affect building already built, not future buildings.

 

[Mik1984]

The quest consisted of building 9 libraries, so I had 9 of them at the moment and the option stated that I would get +2 in each library.

And yes, quests like these affect future buildings. I had a +2 bonus in every barracks last game and it included those I build after the quest.

Concured I one got a random event with a choice being cleaner more productive Dry Docks without having the tech for that building and it worked when I got that tech and built them.

Anyway, I think the +beakers in every library is a better option that an extra GS attached to an expiring wonder.

This quest only boosts a single library (the one in your best science city). I can't remember the exact wording of the in game messages, but I think that is how it is supposed to work.

Admittedly it is a very feeble reward - the extra scientist from the great library is the only decent one from that quest.

It boosts every library.

I got the horse whispering quest, completed it, and chose +1 per stable. All 7 current stables got it, but some new ones did as well, while others didn't. I believe (have no proof) that only stables I built before the the expiration (entering Renaissance) got the bonus, while stables built afterwords didn't.

 

[PutCashIn]

The wording in the reward is 'the library' with a big red circle around your chosen city, yeah?

 

[MrCynical]

It boosts every library.

Not unless the change was sneaked in during the most recent patch. It's one library only.

That sucks. I believe there should be a balanced set of balanced quests, which are always active for every era and not subject to random factors. This could be a nice add on to the game.

Whoops, my mistake. I've experienced something different in the quests I've gotten. I guess not all quests are built equally.

 

[Navarre]

Each quest has its own rewards. A quest giving you a bonus to every building of a type on your civ doesn't mean every other quest will do the same. The reward for the Classical Litterature one is ONE library with +2 , which kind of sucks, I agree.

Anyway, I think the +beakers in every library is a better option that an extra GS attached to an expiring wonder.

The extra scientist attached to the GL doesn't expire when the GL does.

 

[GoodSarmatian]

I remember getting the +2 in every library and also getting addiotional food from horse whisperer in every Stable, old or new.
Seems to be a bug.

 

[Supr49er]

As long as you were going to build those libraries anyway, look at it as a "bonus" of +2 for your 'main branch' library.

I don't get sidetracked by Quest rewards, I only complete them if it was something I was going to do anyway. And Quests don't come up every game for me.

 

[sylvanllewelyn]

This is one of my favourite quests. For a wonder that a lot of people build, and a building that is useful to have in most cities anyway, getting an extra free scientist in your great library is huge.

I believe (have no proof) that only stables I built before the the expiration (entering Renaissance) got the bonus, while stables built afterwords didn't.

Same thing happened to me. But I never did figure out the distinction between which stables kept the +1 and which ones lost it. It seemed haphazard at the time, unrelated to when I built them.

 

[Mik1984]

This quest stuff needs to be normalized. I believe quests all quest should be active in 100% games and it would be up to the player to choose which to fulfill, just as great wonders. In addition they all should be balanced: some nerfed, some empowered, some replaced or restructured.

 

[BalbanesBeoulve]

The free tech "reward" is so damn ********. An ancient era tech? Really? Bronze working or monotheism for free?. Anybody would have researched those by the time they built 7 libraries. Completely effing useless.

Classical era techs would make it worth it. Getting metal casting for free would be a decent reward.

 

[joncnunn]

Incidently though in my current game I got the Game of Civilization created event in 1930 AD. The teach it to every university is a lot more powerful than the literature quest.
