Some of your tech proposals are already existing as buildings...

I was just brainstorming and given the list you presented plus the techs we already have for prehistoric (pre-sedentary) there might be a way to rework the whole [settlement + city buildings =||= tech]
I pictured, that when the Nomad Start is implemented, perhaps the techs you get during the prehistoric era could be granting the bonus the city buildings now give- so instead of building a building you have to build the tech (a once researched tech then gives the commerce, gold or food/production per turn which the building would give now).
So your initial tribe/nomad could move around, collect and , but he wouldn't have or yet. Every prehistoric "tech" (where the tech bar is now on top of screen) would have progress with and - so if you have let's say a surplus of 100 and 100 you get the tech, for example Painting. Some techs would need additional bonuses like Dye for painting. Your Nomad Camp would move on the Dye for the time researching Painting. Gatherers and Trackers would roam around the camp to collect/hunt the 100 /100 Nomad camps could also grow, either by goodie hut (steal women), tech (camp gets +1 pop) or growing instead of teching with the / surplus it provides per turn.
---> idea: when your inital Nomad Tribe grows, it doesn't but rather pops out a gatherer. Once you find sedentary lifestyle all gatherers can move into cities and make them grow 1 pop each.

At some point (maybe cultural identity) the techs don't require only and but also

Maybe a science beaker (like from storytellers hut now and then by the tech that would grant it) could count doube in relation to the early / for tech, making it worthy to have some early beakers still.

Together with the weather system (wind, rainfall, currents, steppe fires, terrain shifting ice ages), this nomad start will be like a new game. Maybe we should even move the start to 1 Mio BC, like Koshling suggested^^ --->with the twist that he provides us with the autoendturn mechanisms which he said he would invent that would be needed to play large sums of turns without always having to press enter when nothing is to be done at eternity speed.

Unless you'd all like to play on new 'super eternity' where turns are a day or so even in prehistoric times (so lets say a few million turns for an entire game) arguments about real speeds are rather irrelevant

I will hunt you with this quote, Koshling^^

i actually think it's a fantastic idea!! when will we see it implemented??

should i still list techs? i have quite a few and i hope you might use them.

 

[DRJ]

Sure, keep it coming, the more the better - but that doesn't mean it will be used or if it's used that will be anytime soon. The coders have a huge mountain of work and to hope they implement it asap or at any other given time is a mere dream.

However, you can help to set it on the agenda by working out concepts like the one I tried above, to find ways how to implement it more or less easy and balanced. This way the chance it will be implemented faster
- in synergy with other new features - will be substentially higher.
Plus during that process you will improve your english as well.
