Lacking Tooltips for two Inventions

[unmerged(23267)]

There are no Tooltips for the Inventions aristocracy vs. meritocracy and bureaucracy vs. nepotism in 1.03g.

Nope, they aren't lacking. Those inventions just trigger other inventions and have no direct effect themselves, which isn't possible to showi in tooltips.

hmm,

is it impossible to show what inventions might be triggered, just like it is shown by other techs? This is serious for any decision, dont you think?
I dont know the triggers!

I was under the impression that each of those choices set a local flag, and that each of those flags is used as a trigger condition for certain random events.

In other words, the choice you make in the invention event determines which set of random events gets activated for your country.

And I think that this could have been made a little clearer in the invention/event descriptive text, because, as you say, a tooltip box cannot be used here to display the invention/event effects.

I agree completely. I had no idea what any of these techs did until I came to the forum to ask - problem is interms of gameplay these inventions are huge in determining how your nation functions internally, and should be better explained.
