Most technologies and civics have a goal related to their subject that will spark a Eureka Moment or Inspiration when met and substantially reduce the research required.

A ' Boost' mechanic has been added: Eureka Moments and Inspirations accelerate research time for the Technology and Civics trees respectively.

Progress through this tree is made through Culture instead of Science.
