Great Explorers (Great People Pack)

The ocean calls, what will you find as you explore the world and learn about nature’s secrets? Great Explorers adds a new Great Person type that boosts the Science of those willing to travel foreign shores. Earned by a variety of maritime and other research infrastructure, Great Explorers provide usually Science and sometimes other benefits for being activated in certain environments that will have you take a closer look at the map and explore it yourself in depth to find the perfect spot to maximize the gains.

This mod also kicks off our next Modder Pass, where the sea is the central theme! Stay tuned for more releases throughout the whole month; not just from myself but also many other great modders. Click the map above see the collection!

Requires Gathering Storm.
Grand Eras (Project 6T) is compatible but not required.

Sukritact’s Oceans, More Maritime: Seaside Sectors, and Wetlands mods are directly supported and highly recommended.

District Expansions are compatible but texts for policies do not mention new buildings yet, but all building alternatives added work just like the regular buildings (e.g. Academies provide Great Explorer points just like Universities).

Not yet compatible with mods changing the Great Person screen, let me know how they function together and what issues you run into.

Civilopedia biographies still missing, will be added later.
