Era Star Requirements Mod

That said, I mean, if you play with dumb baby AI that mashes the era up button when it appears, you don't really have to care. It's only when you have opponents who do the smart thing that you also should start doing the smart thing.

There's a lot of reasons for this I could go on about, but, the basic idea is that to progress through the eras you're going to have to do most of those goals anyways, and need to get all 21 stars in final era to trigger the endgame. Plus, if you advance through eras too quickly, players in earlier eras will start earning free bonus vps, too. Unless you really know what you're doing, or depend on drafting a specific culture for your gameplan, you can end up _behind_ on score, even if you're farther than everyone else along the culture track. So, unless you're going for the alternative world domination win, you might as well take your time in each era and earn the VPs along the way. Counter to a lot of 4x games, humankind encourages you to build more balanced empires, rather than highly specialized ones.

if anyone's following these comments and wants that riddle solved, the answer is that this is normal behavior in the vanilla game, but, the frequency depends on the difficulty you play on, which explains different players reporting different results. With the 'normal' and lower AI settings, they'll tend to advance as soon as they can. Higher level AI will spend increasingly more time in each era picking up VPs before moving on.

well. what can I say?

when i play vanilla it seems like the AI hold on to era stars all the time so they can get more fame points and "win" even though they are my satrapy when we hit the turn limit lol

Could not tell

I know. But AI will do the same? When play vanilla or only VIP, I've observed AI to change Era as soon as it gets necessary stars to do that.

you don't need to change as soon as you get the 8th star. You can stay in the same era to get more stars. That is a feature, not a bug.

Not sure why. Happens to me too.

I found a strange occurrence today. Era I (Ancient) I was in 4th place and has 6/8 stars, needing more 2 to change the era. On the other hand, both the 1st and 2nd place AI players have 12/8 stars and 10/8 stars, respectively, and no one change to Era II. I thinks something is not right. I'm using VIP and Official Endless mods.
