This article is about the Civics boost. For the Wildcard policy, see Inspiration (policy). |
Research of various Civics works similar to Technology in previous Civ games, but each Civic has an "Inspiration" objective / bonus. This bonus is a sort of Quest (such as "Meet another Civilization" or "Build a Quarry") which when completed, will award a research credit worth 50% of the 
Culture previously needed to unlock that Civic. You can get the Culture credit whether or not you are currently researching the civic in question.
