I'm sure this has come up before, but I'll be darned if I can figure it out (or find the answer). According to all the documents, once a civ discovers "Invention", the people change to the "Renaissance" look. Well, my French civ has Invention but the people remain "Bronze Age". Interestingly, they have only one other Tech (Ceremonial Burial), so it would seem that something else is required....

Any ideas?

Invention and philosophy are both required. Check out the Advance Slot Properties Paper on the Cradle of Civilization.

According to Williams' SL tip "FW Advance Slot Properties", which updates older tips, Philosophy is also needed to initiate the Renaissance look.

Thanks guys! Well, that's going to work out nicely, I think. The default set of "People" is a civilian bunch wearing beret's and such.....so now when (if?) France goes to war, the notification can be delivered via the Philosophy tech, following which...voila...a full set of WWI French military "people" will appear in the cities! Cool!

Dontcha just love it when a "problem" opens a brand new door?!

Don't forget the free advance and dialogue box when you're the first to get Philosophy!

Please ignore that new thread that says the same thing.
