<span class="mu-s">Luxury Update</span>: Luxuries are no longer automatically consumed by your population. You can now, as a free action, apply them to your Technology, Culture, or Acceptance scores. Each Luxury counts as 2 Tech, 2 Culture, or an amount of Acceptance based on your total population, if you have more people you'll need more luxuries to get the same acceptance.
If you have 10 Population you can gain 5 Acceptance by spending 5 Luxuries.
