Requirements to Civilize

[Jolt]

I am starting to become extremely frustrated. I want to civilize as China and I can't find anywhere the requirements. I already saw the regular techs needed but some months ago I saw a thread which said another tech was needed which wasn't explicit on the Civilize event file (Which was State & Government)

Can someone for the love of god tell me the exact requirements to civilize (I removed the Naval Tech requirements)?

10 Prestige
1 Military Score
0.20% Literacy Rate
Army Professionalism Tech
Breech-loaded Rifles Tech
Market Structure Tech
Ad-hoc Money Bill Tech
Early Railway Tech
local_flag = { name = flg_MinisterGovt value = 1 } Apparently this translates to having State & Government Tech.
local_flag = { name = flg_UNCIVRP9 value = 1 } I have no idea what this is.

I already have all of these things for like 3 years, and nothing happens. My suspicion is that something else unsaid is still missing researching.

The Ministerial Government invention requires empiricism too.

On a side note, I wonder why ministerial government is a requirement - why not be able to civilise by being autocratic (and therefore without a ministerial government)? I undertsand the point in the description of the ministerial government invention for uncivs, but surely the West would also admire the advancements regardless of the adoption of western systems?

A ministerial government is not incompatible with an autocracy. It just means that the autocrat surrounds himself with a fixed advisory body of ministers specialized in different areas.

Suppose that would make sense when put like that...

Iron Steamers is now a requirement as well. And I have had the same problem - I have all of the requirements you mentioned + Iron Steamers and have not civilized yet.

You need Empiricism and State & Government techs for the ministerial government invention to fire. That's probably what's holding you up.

 

[JMS424]

Nope I already had that fire as well.

Then it's probably the engine screwing up. If an invention hasn't fired it's usually because of that.
