How do you trigger "Great People appearing" ??

[rotten_slowfox]

Hi,

Perhaps a stupid question, but I don't seem to find the answer anywhere

What exactly triggers the appearance of "Great People" ? Is it culture (temples, cathedrals etc.) ? Or size of the city ?

Thanks for letting me know....

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's when you reach certain milestones in culture. For example, a great person appears when you get to 50 culture, 100 culture, 250 culture, etc (figures may not be accurate).

ok - thanks.
Sounds correct - I'll check tonight....

You get great people points from specialists and wonders. Once it reaches the needed threshold, a great person appears.

Hope this clears things up.

Culture is correct. Pull the right trigger and you will see when the next great person will appear. Of course this is not including Tech first, Wonder, and captured great persons.

I believe you may be confusing CivRev with CivIV there are no specialists or great people points in rev.

There is a culture threshold though which you can see by pushing Right Trigger (360), you can see how much culture each of your cities in gererated by looking at the city summary page. Not sure how it is determined which type of GP is generated when the threshold is reached though.
