Great People

From CivIdle Wiki

Great People are special characters that give multipliers to your empire. Its the main prestige progression mechanics in CivIdle

Great People Basics[edit | edit source]

In a run you get TWO (stacking) sets of bonuses from great people: [current great people] + [permanent great people]. Rebirth will convert all current GPs into permanent GPs. If you have a GP as a permanent AND then take them as a current GP in following runs, their effects stack together.

Great people provide boosts and will be added to your permanent collection. When you rebirth, you collect all the Great People you've chosen this run plus extra Great People based on your total Empire Value, these permanent Great People will remain with you.

GPs after the first that go into this permanent pool will contribute towards levelups (each level takes 2 times more GPs to levelup except for Fibonacci).

Acquiring Great People[edit | edit source]

There is two ways of getting GPs:

- upon entering a new age
-upon reseting with enough Empire Value to get Extra GPs

Entering new age

-You get 1 GP upon entering a new age, from that age. You choose 1 of 3 random from that age (some ages only have 3, so it's not really random)
-You get 1 GP upon entering a new age, from EACH age you've unlocked before in this run. Meaning entering bronze age will only get you 1 bronze GP, but entering iron age
you get 1 iron GP AND 1 bronze GP.

Extra GPs

Additionally, you can get random choices of extra permanent GPs if you rebirth after hitting Empire Value (EV) thresholds. This is NOT necessary to rebirth

You will only get GPs from age up to one higher then the current unlocked one. Meaning you will NOT get Industrial age GPs if you've rebirthed at Bronze age

Each next Great Person will require more EV, and growth is exponential, following this formula: Required Extra GP^3 * 64M

EV required per GP
Extra GP EV Required Extra GP EV Required
1 64M 10 64B
2 512M 11 85.184B
3 1.728B 12 110.592B
4 4.096B 13 140.608B
5 8.000B 14 175.616B
6 13.824B 15 216.000B
7 21.952B 16 262.144B
8 32.768B 17 314.432B
9 46.656B 18 373.248B
10 64.00B 19 438.976B

Upgrading Great People[edit | edit source]

Permanent Great People can be upgraded by collecting Great People from each run. They will help your empire achieve new heights.

In order to upgrade your GP you need copies of the same GP. Each level will increase bonuses and multipliers that GP gives to the empire and increases further upgrade costs.
