There are various ideas in this forum how to improve era stars. I'd just like to propose a general adjustment method for era stars. When setting up a new game, I'd like to configure the a starting threshold of era stars required each. For instance, I would like to give technology a generally greater weight so that scientist stars contribute more to the overall progression. I might also like to give military stars less. It's also possible that the thresholds will be accumulatively influenced by the chosen cultures. This will influence the AI in their unique decision making, depending on their own strategy.

This is important because it allows for more custom playstyles, especially with slower play modes when more stars are required for progression.

You could even go further and allow additional customization factors for each era. So that, for instance, the later eras get higher requirements for science.


I know that this can be edited in mods but none of the existing mods even fits my play style. I think this is something that should be generally customizable somehow.
