Then again, modding those <fnord> lost libraries </fnord> and creating mini-libraries... well, it shouldn't be the hardest thing in the world, right?

as i mentioned before.. things like that or notable dungeons should be visible to all (and get rid of nonsense such as spawning it once for every faction that research it)

but stop a side from using/accessing it unless they have researched whatever. heck, people can build around it even if they can't use it to block other sides (that has researched it) from using it!

The reason I suggested Creativity was

1) It's unique, and something SD knows how to code easily, having done it in GC2.  Nothing else provides creativity in the game.

2) It's logical that a lost library/arcane temple would provide sudden discoveries.

3) It's not overpowered.

Having each one be unique and the chance to learn divergent techs- that's nice , but I think that should be with quest/exploration mechanics.  It's also a LOT of effort- and I'm trying to think of things that can be done quickly/easily, as those things are more likely  to end up implemented- in terms of new features/improvements.

Save the complicated stuff right now for fixing things that are flat-out stupid in the game.

alanebs: that's a decent solution, but I'm not sure if it's logical/makes sense.   why would adventure tech help with using a lost library/arcane temple?  Finding one, obviously.  But using one would , if anything, be a function of magical knowledge/education.

I just hope they figure out a way to control the fact you can build as much research as you want. Nothing worse than a system that says "the best way to do something is to build 10 of something, then destroy them and replace them with something better."
