Scientist Stars

• • [Removed] Objective: Obtain Technologies

  • [New] Objective: Accrue Science

  • Star Objective Formula:

    • • Star Objective = (375 max (80 * EraLevel) * (FameScore / 1550) ^ 3 + 250 * (1.8 + FameScore / 1550)) * GameSpeed

Era Star Thresholds now scale with Fame instead of Era Number (Fame / 3000)

• • "It is now impossible to enter a new era and instantly gain Era Stars."

Scaling based on total amount of Era Stars accrued added

• • "[R]oughly 20 stars equating to 1 era for Bronze, 16 stars equating to 1 era for Silver, and 12 stars equating to 1 era for Gold.”

  • "The effect of this rework will mean that players that gather fame from wonders, deeds and other non-star sources will gain stars easier than players that only get fame from era stars.”
