VERSION 1.4.1

Five changes that require a new mental model.

Every card shows an official fact and the boundary of Money Meta's inference. This protects the model from stale advice and false confidence.

AGEVerified

Fact: After Test of Time, a player can start and continue a campaign as a chosen civilization in any Age.
Boundary: This does not make every combination equally strong. The value of specific bonuses still depends on the game.

TRIVerified

Fact: Update 1.4.0 replaced Legacy Paths with Triumphs and reworked victories.
Boundary: An old development route cannot be carried forward without checking the new objective and victory rules.

GDPVerified

Fact: The official guide connects GDP to slotted Resources, Treasure Convoys and Gold Buildings.
Boundary: Exact values come from the current game interface. Money Meta does not substitute universal numbers.

CTXVerified

Fact: The official settlement guide ties the choice to leaders, policies, adjacency, attributes, Wonders and Specialists.
Boundary: The model evaluates timing and trade-offs, but cannot replace the positional context of the map.

1.4.1Verified

Fact: Update 1.4.1 added Archipelago and Hotseat and reworked Governments and Celebrations.
Boundary: This is version context. It does not define one best economic order for every leader.

Method and independence

Official material confirms the structure of the current version. Every numeric value comes from the game interface and stays on the device.
