World Tracker Panel World Tracker

A new panel has been added that shows progression to the next Golden Age, bonuses being applied and turns remaining once the Golden Age has been triggered. Hovering over the progress bar displays the current points per turn until the next Golden Age, as well as the estimated number of turns until the next Golden Age is triggered.

Progress points in the Golden Age come from Great People Points. By default, you get 30% Great Prophet, Artist, Musician, and Writer points. You can also earn 0.5 points towards Golden Ages at any time. The policies listed above allow you to earn points from different Great People, or at a higher price. Individual leaders and civilizations can also have traits that allow them to earn points from different greats at a higher rate.

An example of this can be seen in the modified English Civilization, where Victoria's leadership ability allows her to earn 100% of her Admiralty points towards the Golden Age each turn.

The new Golden Age panel also includes a button in the upper right corner that lets you view the citizens and technicians that provide bonuses to your first civilization for completing them.

You can also see the impact of each bonus on individual cities in the yield tooltip on the city panel. It will be listed as % of the modifier and have the exact value for that city. In the case of the "Wonderful Architecture" policy, when the tourism overlap is active, a bonus can be seen in the tourist value of the spectacle.

The Ascension Screen can be accessed via the button on the Golden Age panel in World Tracker. This screen shows six randomly selected citizens\technologies, providing bonuses to the first civilization to complete them.

All items have bonuses that provide 15% advancement towards your next Golden Age. One of the items is randomly selected for an additional bonus of increasing the duration of the Golden Age by 30%.

Once a civilization triggers a boost, the leader's portrait will appear on the right side of the panel, indicating that it can no longer receive boosts.

If you are the first civilization to complete an item, a Boost screen will appear informing you of your bonus. The same screen is also displayed when you complete a wonder and you enable the "Brilliant Architecture" strategy.
