Builder

Summary

Builder cultures favour a gameplay orientation focused on internal improvements or great feats of construction. These cultures gain extra Fame from Builder Era Stars for building new Districts.

Affinity action: Land Raiser

Can set a City into "Land Raiser" mode.

• All the Money and Science output of the City are converted into Industry.
• The City will only produce Food and Industry when this mode is activated.
• The action can be applied only one City at a time, with a 10 turn cooldown.
• The mode lasts for at least 5 turns until it can be deactivated.

Affinity Bonus: Pride

Gains 10 Stability when completing a District's construction.

• This bonus does not modify the city's target stability percentage.
• This bonus is scaled by game speed

Era Stars threshold formula

The same formula applies to the Builder Era Stars of every Era in the Normal Game Speed.

• 1st or Bronze Builder Star
  • Build an additional (Number of Era * 4) + 2 Districts.
• 2nd or Silver Builder Star
  • Build an additional (Number of Era * 4) + 2 Districts.
• 3rd or Gold Builder Star
  • Build an additional (Number of Era * 4) + 2 Districts.

Number of Era = [1] Ancient ... [6] Contemporary

Game Speed = not part of formula

Example:

• 6 Districts per star in Ancient
• 10 Districts per star in Classical
• 14 Districts per star in Medieval
• 18 Districts per star in Early Modern
• 22 Districts per star in Industrial
• 26 Districts per star in Contemporary

The next era Bronze star can be unlocked with progress past the current era Gold star threshold (unknown formula).
