Matt's Civs: Scotland

The birthplace of the Enlightenment, and the first state to implement mandatory education: Scotland has been home to many of the philosophers, scientists, economists, and political theorists who led the way from Medieval to Modern times.

Reap increased Culture and Science from urban centres as you develop hubs of learning.

Train Humanists: a Great Person who creates a unique Relic representing their philosophical or scientific works. These Great People replace Missionaries, making this an alternate way to complete the Culture Legacy Path for Scotland.

Discover unique complementarities with Scotland's Traditions, which turn Science into profit and productivity.

FEEDBACK AREAS

• Balance: Adjacencies are played with a lot with this Civ. Given Specialists scale off of adjacencies, this might be more powerful than it looks. The Humanists being the new Relic wincon is also tricky: the cost scaling on Humanists may need to be increased.
