Tried to do a search but couldn't find an answer for these (I think) relatively simple question:

  • Is the number of Eras in the game hardcoded?
  • Can one add additional columns to the Tech Tree to make it longer?

For instance, if I wanted to add a Colonial era between the Industrial and Modern era - without removing or shortening any of the other eras - would that be possible, or will it cause problems with either game core (hardcoded eras) or other problems (like Tech Tree needing to have additional columns added to increase length)?
 
It should be possible to add more eras, although there might be some problems with it - you should contact the author of this mod about possible difficulties.

The length of the tech tree is not hardcoded in any way, it just adapts to the highest GridX you have defined for your techs.
