Lets say I'm producing as much GP of widest warienty so I can start GA on demand - its possible to trigger it 12 times, last one taking 12 different great people!

Also I'm beelining for techs, that allows me to prolong/start golden age in this scenario.

I heard longer game speeds are more favorable for GA BTW.
Is it possible to make continous Golden Era lasting 10% or more total turns?

Edit: I searched every xml file with Notepad++ and there were only 21 entries in 6 files for bGoldenAge tag and 4 entries in one file of iGoldenAgeModifier.

Ascesion Gate extends Golden Age by 100% - Ascesion and Teleportation
Cheomseongdae - 20% - Stargazing and Masonry
Mausoleum of Maussollos - 50% - Calendar
World News Network - 25% - Mass Media

Following buildings can start Golden Age:
Crystal Palace - Imperialism and Assembly Line - Vokarya Module
Ascesion Gate - Ascesion and Teleportation - 6 Great Wonders in core xml
Bird's Nest Stadium - Modern Sports and Mass Media
Neuschwanstein - Romanticism
Pyramid of the Magician - Calendar
Sydney Opera House - Realism
The Taj Mahal - Nationalism
Captured Fire - Controlled Fire - National Wonder
Valley of the Kings - Sculpture - Autobuilt special building
That is 9 buildings. This means you can start GA 9 times by building something.

Three events can start Golden Age:
<Type>EVENT_MARATHON_1</Type>
<Type>EVENT_SPORTS_LEAGUE_DONE_3</Type>
<Type>EVENT_GUNS_BUTTER_DONE_3</Type>

And last 9 bGoldenAge tags are used in units files - probably by Great People.

All Golden Age lengths (number of turns) by Game Speeds except for Normal (default 8 turns) were shortened.
