Pyramid doesn't bring me to Golden Age!

[mikezang]

I played with China, There is any Golden Age coming after I built Pyramid, does anyone explain this for me?

 

[Tatran]

You need also a Wonder with the militaristic trait.

 

[Ginger_Ale]

Yes. China is MIL and IND. The Pyramids are AGR, IND and REL. MIL and IND do not equal the Pyramid's traits.

The Pyramids give a GA for the Mayans, Egyptians (but of course), and Celts.

edit: Crosspost.

 

[mikezang]

Does it mean a civ needs two GWs for Golden Age? I thought it is ok that only need one of them

 

[Ginger_Ale]

No, but you need to match the traits.

For China, you need a wonder / wonders that have either the MIL, the IND, or both traits. The Pyramids give you half your golden age with the IND part. Then you need a MIL wonder to get the other half of your traits. Wonders like Sun Tzu's, The Great Wall. Any MIL wonder with the Pyramids will trigger it for China.

 

[Norsk_Viking]

i think you have to have one that has your traits

 

[Shadow Phoenix]

read in the Encyclopedia:
"it MIGHT give you GA "

 

[Norsk_Viking]

the encyclopedie, dont you mean the civiliopedia?
and i did read that

 

[Tomoyo]

The civiliopedia is wrong. You need to own wonders (including the one being completed) that fulfill your traits upon creation of a wonder.

 

[Norsk_Viking]

thats wat i thought

 

[wit>trope]

Do you have to build them or can you just own them (through conquest)?

 

[Cuivienen]

If you are the Maya, Egyptians or Celts and conquer The Pyramids, all you must do to trigger a GA is build any Wonder. The game will look at what kind of Wonders you have, see the IND/AGR/REL Pyramids and trigger your GA.

OT: How oddly appropriate that The Pyramids triggers a GA for Egypt and the Maya.

 

[mikezang]

Well, I am still not sure.
By the way, Can you tell me which GW is for China?

 

[Tomoyo]

Any Industrious with any Militaristic...

 

[Capt Buttkick]

Which means the Great Wall does it for China.
The Pyramids and GW aren't the only ones with "appropriate" traits. To me it looks like Firaxis put some thought into this...

 

[Scuffer]

Thank goodness they didn't waste their time bug fixing instead.

 

[mikezang]

So only Great Wall can bring China to Golden Age.

 

[aaglo]

No, not only Great wall.

You see, Great wall is both industrious and militaristic wonder (which happen to be the two traits of the chinese civ). So if the chinese complete great wall, they enter to golden age. If the chinese complete pyramids, nothing happens (yet, since it's industrious but not militaristic wonder), but if they later complete sun-tzu's art of war (which is militaristic wonder), then they enter golden age.

So, you can enter golden age by:
- building one wonder (which has both civ traits of that particular civ)
- building two wonders (which have the civ traits)
- or by having a victorious combat with your unique unit.

But there is one exception in the wonder-induced golden age (just to mix things up):
If you have captured an enemy city/cities which contains wonders related to your civ traits (lets say you have captured two cities - one of them has pyramids and one of them has sun-tzu's art of war), the next wonder you complete (no matter what are the wonder traits) starts your golden age.

- or by having a victorious combat with your unique unit.

I would like to clarify that this only triggers a golden age against other civs. It does not work against barbs.

Also, building the Internet wonder will kick off your GA, disregardless of traits (it's flagged with all traits in the editor?).
