Hi again, all :)
My age of civiisations mod is steadily improving. I am right now learning python :confused: so tht I can make exactly what I want, that is, randomly fading tech, the ultimate goal being to develop very ubique civilisations, up to roughly the middle ages. To try to enforce this concept, all early Techs are available from start, plus a few more. A councel, choose alphabet at start... The first techs are quite long to research, but as you grow more cities, it goes much faster.
Another global feature is to allow you to create "custom" civs, all starting techs and special units have been removed. Civilisations are only here for the leaders traits....and graphics.
Hope you enjoy this starting work...
Here is a list of stuff added...

New or tweaked technology:
Forestry: allows To build forest warrior school, that gives all units built there woodsman1 for free.
Lumbering: allows to recruit woodcutters, who can build lumbermills, cut down forest and jungle.
Herbology: Allows to build apothecary
Jewellery: Allows to build jeweller's shop (+1 culture)
Savagery: allows to recruit barbarians.
Drill: enables barracks
