Turning hammers into research/culture/gold

[Manfred Belheim]

When did this change from being 50% of hammers getting turned into these things into 100%? It's something I rarely, if ever, use and so I only just noticed in my latest game that 100% of the hammers were converted. When I first started playing back with Vanilla 1.52 then it was only 50%, and I'd just assumed it was still that way.

Unless I'm running some civic or something that is giving me an extra 50%, but I can't see any evidence of that, and the civilopedia doesn't even talk about it at all.

It's been a 100% conversion for as long as I can remember, perhaps another poster remembers the exact timeframe.

It changed in Warlords.

In vanilla you also get the appropriate multipliers applied to the 50% (so a library adds +25% to the research built), but from Warlords on only hammer multipliers affect the amount (forge, factory, etc.).

Ah. Thank you very much.
