Simple unique parameters are explained by mouseover. Complex parameters are explained in Unique parameter types
Triggerable uniques
Uniques that have immediate, one-time effects. These can be added to techs to trigger when researched, to policies to trigger when adopted, to eras to trigger when reached, to buildings to trigger when built. Alternatively, you can add a TriggerCondition to them to make them into Global uniques that activate upon a specific event.They can also be added to units to grant them the ability to trigger this effect as an action, which can be modified with UnitActionModifier and UnitTriggerCondition conditionals.

<(modified by game speed)>
Can only be applied to certain uniques, see details of each unique for specifics Applicable to: MetaModifier
<Suppress warning [validationWarning]>
Allows suppressing specific validation warnings. Errors, deprecation warnings, or warnings about untyped and non-filtering uniques should be heeded, not suppressed, and are therefore not accepted. Note that this can be used in ModOptions, in the uniques a warning is about, or as modifier on the unique triggering a warning - but you still need to be specific. Even in the modifier case you will need to specify a sufficiently selective portion of the warning text as parameter. Example: "<Suppress warning [Tinman is supposed to automatically upgrade at tech Clockwork, and therefore Servos for its upgrade Mecha may not yet be researched! -or- is supposed to automatically upgrade]>"
