The Library of Celsus

Has anyone managed to build this before getting locked out?
This is a really hard triumph to build.
From my understanding it requires 3 antiquities technology, then 15 crafts, then building the triumph.
This is quite steep to pull off with such a short time since research goes so fast.
The deves should look into reducing the requirements on this triumph.
I propose this triumphs requirements be changed from 10 books to 10 paper.

nope!

i haven't been able to either. I think it's possible if you really focus on trying to build it, but it's not worth it.

And i agree with your proposal

Several times (though not yet on snowy terrain as Sappho).

That would actually make it worse. IIRC the only other thing you can do with books in that era is consume them or slot them as supply. Paper on the other hand is required to build libraries (which produce books) so you'd be putting the two in competition.

It has a similar issue to some of the other 'late era' techs in that the resources it requires don't really start getting used until the next act, so the chances a player is going to prioritise producing or stockpiling them purely by coincidence at that point are fairly slim. For the same reason it's actually pretty easy to build it if you set out to do so as there's nothing else likely to be using those resources.

I finally managed to build the library but i had to focus to building it as soon as i entered the antiquities age.
I barely managed to build it.
And I still had to buy it out to finish it in time.
This shouldn't be so hard to build.
