Hello, I've just started using this site for the first time and I'm trying to make a national focus which gives a national spirit that in turn gives a construction speed modifier. I'm trying to use the ideas tool, but to be honest I have no idea how it works and I can't seem to find any good information on the forums or otherwise on how to use it. Any help at all would be appreciated.

 Hey there dolt, the ideas tool is fairly simple the most you are really looking at when entering what you want the spirit to do is modifiers.  I shall give a simple visual example below.

So for start things that need to be filled out.

So everything in this image must be filled out otherwise it won't work plus is needed for the game to find the spirit. Also make sure you set the idea group to national spirit!

This is everything filled out, now that we have that we move to the important part the modifiers!

So in this you will put whatever modifier you want which can be found at Modifiers List

So an example of a modifier would be like above if you wanted a +10% attack and defense modifier! after that your done just either make it obtainable via a focus or have the nation start with the idea.

Example of one of my finished spirits in game. Hope this helped!
