Real Eurekas 4.0.1

It counts city-states for sure, but that counting can be glitchy. E.g. I think 'Kil X barbarians' is glitchy, doesn't count them correctly. Maybe same with these city-states...

This boost is triggered when you found any city on the coast, not necessarily the first. So, you can have 2 cities inland and 3rd on the coast - the boost triggers.
I checked it when working on my custom boosts. That's why I have created 'Found the Capital on the coast' which doeas exactly what it says - your first city must be on the coast.

 

But the thing is that I had found two other cities by the coast before the third one also on the coast. So the boost triggers with some probability whenever we found a coastal city?

Ordering:
1 capital (coast)
2 second city (inland)
3 third city (coast)
4 conquered coastal city
5 4th city founded (3rd founded by the coast, boost triggered)

 

That's a bug/glitch then. It should fire with first city on the coast.
But make sure that city is really on the coast. It has to have an adjacent sea tile.

 

It means that between turns the games of different players find themselves in different states, forcing a reload of the game.

 

Regarding custom boosts, are these boosts you get when founding your capital, or are these boosts that can appear only when you settle in a certain spot?

 

@Leyrann Both options are valid. So, you can have a capital close to a lake with some woods around and maybe 2 resources good for plantation. And if you randomly get: 'Get capital adjacent to lake', 'Have 3 woods in your Capital' and 'Have 2 potential plantations in your Capital' - you will get all 3 boosts at once. However, odds are 0,8% for that

 

Bug report: "Train a Settler" Eureka counts the starting Settler, which I assume is unintended.

Also, how would I edit this mod so that the Eurekas/Inspirations were known (or permanently unknown)? I either want to plan out a new path every game or see where I get forced, but I don't like the halfway point of "research for a few turns to find out what the Eureka is".

 

@Atlas627 When you start a game, you can choose in AdvancedOptions how the triggers are shown.

 

Thanks, that's fantastic! I'll let you know if I find any other quirks with the mod. Do you want bug reports for things like that settler eureka, or should I assume everything is intended?

 

@Atlas627 Pls report everything that seems strange. Settler issue is actually very good example. If something is intended, I'll explain it here.

 

Can somebody tell me what do I need to do to boost civics/techs that requires to do something with luck?

 

With luck? Can you give example?

 

Examples:
1)Few people realize that luck is created
2)When it comes to luck, you make your own

 

Those are just placeholder names. It means you don't know what the Eureka/Inspiration is yet. By default, you can discover it by starting the research, but there are options to disable the discovery or make it automatic.

 

Oh, so is there a option that will show me Eureka/Inspiration from the start?

 

@Wilczek22 Yes, when you start a game, go to Advanced Options. The 'luck-things' are just various pearls of wisdom used as some entertainment

 

Oh, I see. Thanks for your help.

 

That new change is brilliant, where the inspirations are not shown until after you start researching. It adds a lot of needed variety to the game and it seems much closer to the way things work in the real world. Fantastic mod!

 

Great mod, really flavours the game.
I'm thinking to propose some new eurekas for implementation, but it'd be good to know what new eurekas have you included in the mod already.
I tried to see the files in the mod but I wasn't able to connect the boost to the techs and civics.
Can you explain it or just simple listing them?

 

Nice ideas, I gotta check out this mod. Hidden and random is how I envision things worked in history.
