Would be nice if I could find out what I can do next time to unlock this civilization, e.g. by hovering the "Locked" button. The "Select mementos" screen does have such a tooltip!

#

Or is the "PLay as" list supposed to be that?

#

it is yes, though you can unlock civs in game through other actions, too, which I don't think are listed here

chrome horizon
#

yes I did something else to unlock Normans, which would be nice to see here?

3 iron => unlock norman

#

Why are there clickable checkboxes for these on the civilizations I am able to choose though?

ember glacier
#

yeah would be. I think you can see it in game at least

#

I don't think those do anything, just another ui quirk

chrome horizon
#

I see. that is confusing

ember glacier
#

here's how the unlock thing looks in game, but it's huge:

#

and i think this the analogue to your checkboxes, but they make more sense in game:

#

how do you get to that list?

ember glacier
#

Click on the View Player Unlocks button in game, then civilizations. It's the one with the lock

#

#

It's locked because you didn't play that civ previously in the previous age, The play as is correct as in "if you played one of these three you can play as this one in this age"

Stein has explained the rest when it comes to unlocking stuff and what actions are needed for other stuff.

I think once you get use to it its a cool little dynamic that if you know you want to play as something in a age you can work faster toward doing it's unlock cost so you know when you transition you can pick them

if you can't check them, it should display a different icon

there are general inconsistencies similar to this throughout the UI that have made the whole thing rather frustrating
