Possible? Using a lua script to change tech/civic costs in-game.

[Eudaemonia]

Hey all

Sadly the June 2019 patch seems to have broken the GlobalParameters around EraGates in the GS ruleset. See my bug report below:

My Stronger Era Gates mod was a super simple little mod that relied on these parameters:

One idea I'm toying with at the moment, given my lua experience in creating Gaia Map Script and Azimuthal Map Script is the following:

Would it be possible to create an in-game lua script that applies a cost multiplier to techs and civics, based on the Game Era and the Era the tech/civic belongs to - essentially re-creating the effect that was possible before the patch broke things.

I've done some Googling today and have found Gedemon's Lua Objects spreadsheet, though there doesn't appear to be a function that actually changes the cost of techs/civics.

Does anyone have experience in this area that might be able to comment?
