cultural achievements? |
could someone quickly explain what cultural achievements do? when I look at the encycopedia their description would say they provide some 0% bonus to some part of the game. like 0% bonus to reproduction... well, what good is a 0% bonus? Is this some rounding error?
You have not researched them yet have you?
You have not researched them yet have you, if you research them they give you a bonus based on the tech level in that area but with TL0 its a 0% bonus however if you research them they give empire wide bonuses to that area such as a cumulative percentage added to research, loyalty, resistance to Intel attack, reproduction rate of assimilation of conquered races, amongst others depending on the area researched. As well as seeming to have a positive effect on racial happiness.
They are well worth the effort to research even if they are too expensive to do so initially.

I tend to regard these as
I tend to regard these as mid to late game techs unless i really need one of the bonuses given (such as making people less upset by being at war). These techs go upto level 20, and require about 5,000,000 on low tech cost to complete.




Not rounding.
They give 0% because you don't have them yet. It'll go up to 1, 2, etc as you research the associated technology.
