Is it possible to obtain a dwarven red/yellow rune from the dwarven ancient wonder help reward by being the top knowledge point contributor to that dwarven wonder when it's finished, without having completed the dwarven ancient wonders research?
I see people that have not completed the dwarven research donating kp to dwarven wonders, and I'm curious if it's possible for them to get the dwarven rune reward.
I know without dwarven ancient wonders research being completed it's not possible to get a dwarven red or yellow rune from completing provinces.
I think it is possible from what I see in the wiki, but I'm not 100% certain.
"You can only invest in Ancient Wonders if you have already researched their technology yourself, but once you unlock the Ancient Wonder for your race, you can immediately start to invest in any Ancient Wonder, including the ones you have not unlocked yet
As said before, Ancient Wonders are a great way to promote players engagement with each other regardless of the chosen race. Humans can invest in Elven Ancient Wonders and vice versa, because they will receive Rune Shards for the Ancient Wonder of their own race that has the same effects as the one they have helped. For example, if you are a Human and want Rune Shards for your Great Bell Spire, you can invest in the Elven Crystal Lighthouse. "
