Defining Advancement

Description
In an effort to be more historically accurate without sacrificing game balance, this mod restructures the tech tree so that every era has a single key technology:

Ancient: Agriculture
Classical: Mathematics
Medieval: Theology
Renaissance: Printing Press
Industrial: Industrialization
Modern: Electricity
Atomic: Atomic Theory
Information: Computers

This mod only affects the tech tree and is designed for Brave New World. All of the effects of each technology are the same; only their ordering and prerequisites are changed. Complete list of new prereqs follows.

Ancient: Defining Advance is Agriculture

Agriculture: none

Sailing: Agriculture
Pottery: Agriculture
Trapping: Agriculture
Animal Husbandry: Agriculture
Archery: Agriculture
Mining: Agriculture
Wheel: Animal Husbandry
Calendar: Writing
Horseback Riding: Animal Husbandry
Masonry: Mining
Bronze Working: Mining

Classical: Defining Advance is Mathematics

Mathematics: Archery, Calendar

Optics: Mathematics, Sailing
Drama and Poetry: Mathematics
Construction: Mathematics, Masonry
Iron Working: Mathematics, Bronze Working
Currency: Mathematics
Philosophy: Drama and Poetry
Engineering: Construction, The Wheel

Medieval: Defining Advance is Theology

Compass: Theology, Optics
Education: Theology
Civil Service: Theology
Guilds: Theology, Currency
Metal Casting: Theology, Iron Working
Physics: Education
Chivalry: Civil Service, Guilds
Machinery: Metal Casting, Engineering
Steel: Metal Casting

Renaissance: Defining Advance is Printing Press

Printing Press: Machinery, Physics

Astronomy: Printing Press, Compass
Acoustics: Printing Press
Banking, Printing Press
Metallurgy: Printing Press, Steel
Gunpowder: Printing Press, Steel
Chemistry: Printing Press
Navigation: Astronomy

Modern: Defining Advance is Electricity

Electricity: Scientific Theory, Steam Power, Combustion

Biology: Electricity
Replaceable Parts: Electricity
Electronics: Electricity
Refrigeration: Electricity
Plastics: Biology
Flight: Biology, Replaceable Parts
Radio: Replaceable Parts
Ballistics: Replaceable Parts

@Vertani: It worked, It must of been a malfunction on my end, Sorry to have bothered you.

@Vertani: I'll try to resubscirbe to it again, if it works, I'll let you know, it might be on my end, that could be the problem.

Strange. Has anyone else had that problem?

@Vertani: For some odd reason, the mod won't download, nor show up on the mod directory. I've subscribed to it, and I deleted and unsubscribe the mod, and resubscribed the mod, but still no dice.

@Vertani: FYI, This can be accomplished without moving techs and breaking pipes using the Technology_ORPrereqTechs table.
Vertani  [author] 21 Sep, 2014 @ 9:42pm 
I am aware of that compatibility issue, and unfortunately I haven't yet found a way to fix it.

I really enjoy this mod, but it seems to break when adding new technologies to the tree, specifically such as arbogli's Beyond the Future mod. Is there some way I can fix it so mods which add new techs are compatable? Currently using them both leaves the new techs missing completly.
Vertani  [author] 29 May, 2014 @ 8:26pm 
I have made significant changes in the last update. I will post new screenshots. Alas, the broken tech pipes still remain.

I think I know what is causing that, but I'm not sure what to do about it. Because each of the Defining Advances takes up a column by itself, this new tech tree is actually wider than the original tech tree. Most other tech mods are superimposed on the original tech tree, so they don't line up properly with this one. Since each tech is given a specific location in space there is no simple way to fix this; I obviously can't know what new techs any other mod might add in order to adjust their positions. I might be able to do something like "move all items in column 23 to column 25", but then the result would depend on which mod activated first.

Oh, this reminds me. In addition to Future Technologies, I'm also using the Jurrasic park mod which adds genetics as a tech and Advance Structure tech which adds cool future buildings. Anyway, I noticed a that Genetics was next to Atomic theory and that a lot of the Future technologies' techs were in the Atomic era. Just a heads up once you resolve that pipe problem.
Now that I think about it, I tried to twick with the tech tree once before and the pipes were all messed up, but it didn't affect the game or the order of the techs. So I don't think it is crucial to fix them, though I agree it would be far more estetic to have it fixed.
