c2c golden age

[UknowitsE]

i want to know if anyone has a comprehensive list of what great wonders/tech/whatever that start a golden age, anything that does it without using great people.

[red255]

well you can use the taj mahal.

and you can use the statue of zeus in beyond the sword to start a golden age in the name of zeus after completing ... a quest I think build a bunch of colloseums.

I can't recall too many other quests that can reward golden ages. techs generally reward specialists that can be spent on golden ages.

The Prehistoric Era Natural Wonder 'Captured Fire' starts a Golden Age. If you can delay building this until your POP grows that's a benefit, but you have to build it before Fire Making is researched, which obsoletes Captured Fire. You can research Tribalism without Fire Making and drop some more cities before building the Wonder just before Fire Making research is complete.

Note that Fire Making might be granted from a goodie hut/island. If you capture an enemy city in the Prehistoric Age and that city has built the Captured Fire then you cannot build it. (Save scum or edit XML files to your tastes)

The Pyramid of the Magician, which requires Naghualism as the State Religion, starts a Golden Age.

If your play style is about Golden Ages, there are Wonders and Traits that extend the length of Golden Ages, which can have the same effect of getting a Golden Age:

• Nara's Giant Buddha, requires Buddhism, adds 50%
  
• Mausoleum of Maussollos adds 50%
  
• Cheomseongdae adds 20%
  
• The trait Philosophical adds 25%

EDIT: I checked the file GreatWonders_CIV4BuildingInfos.xml for the tag <bGoldenAge>1</bGoldenAge> and found the following:

• Ascension Gate (also grants Scientific Victory)
  
• Bird's Nest Stadium
  
• Neuschwanstein
  
• Pyramid of the Magician
  
• Technological Capital
  
• Taj Mahal

I'm not sure what game you are referring to, either a mod or maybe civ 6? this is civ 4 and most of that stuff isnt in this game. unless we are running a mod.

I interpreted 'c2c' in the OP as the Civ4 mod Caveman2Cosmos.

[UknowitsE]

ya caveman 2 cosmos mod...the best mod for civ4 ever. Red255, you should try it if you havent already(which i assume is the case) because it is a super huge overhaul, it's like it just adds an expansion(or three) to the game. Anyway, it's kept me playing civ4 even longer now, and I already had more hours on 4 than I did on 5 or 6...the newer installments just kinda sucked I think, anyway, i digress.

[red255]

I tried one of those overhaul mods, you start out with nothing revealed because you have to research corn or something to see grain. dunno. didn't get very far.

but yeah civ 5 sucked alot I never tried civ 6.

Civ 5 had this thing where you go along and play the game and periodically the AI will taunt you with how much happier they are than you are, because the AI is playing on the lowest difficulty setting because of how bad it is.

which is fine, it was the taunting me that bothered me. made me feel bad about killing them.

well if u didnt like it, it aint for you then. Im a big fan of the long game, it's hard with 4x's, but some mods make it doable, and more than that, fun to do if you just change the mindset to a simcity 2k kinda feel or minecraft for the younger crowd. The last playthrough I had to set the dif kinda high and enable the rising difficulty option to add something new.
