Modding Boosts (Eureka and Inspiration)

[UglyBoy]

Hopefully this is the right place to ask questions ...

After playing around with modding for the first time this patch (shameless plug) I wanted to look at boosts. Is it possible to have multiple boosts for the same tech/civic? Alternatively, can you trigger the same boost multiple times?

For example, the boost for Machinery requires you to have 3 archers. Can this be changed so that you get a boost per archer? Either up to 3 or for an infinite number.

From what I have found so far any changes past modifying the boost amount is not possible.

<Boosts>
	<Row TechnologyType="TECH_MACHINERY" Boost="50"
		TriggerDescription="LOC_BOOST_TRIGGER_MACHINERY"
		TriggerLongDescription="LOC_BOOST_TRIGGER_LONGDESC_MACHINERY"
		BoostClass="BOOST_TRIGGER_OWN_X_UNITS_OF_TYPE"
		Unit1Type="UNIT_ARCHER" NumItems="3"/>
</Boosts>

You can <Update> to change NumItems="3" but the ingame text will still show as "3" because the TriggerDescription Tag is not dynamic to any such changes you make:

<BaseGameText>
	<Row Tag="LOC_BOOST_TRIGGER_MACHINERY">
		<Text>Own 3 Archers.</Text>
	</Row>
</BaseGameText>

Boosts from the <Boosts> table are one-time things.
