I envy your skills.

Yeah, so do I Vokarya!
I envy your skills.

WOW!
Great work!
Some suggestion :
- new ancient era tech : Ancient astronomy. It is largely determined the ancient life (religions, navigation, etc...)
- has no prereq (level 1 , put beside Ritualism )
- gives Stonhenge (moved from Mysticizm)
- prereq for Mysticizm
- prereq for Seafaring
- maybe OR prereq for Mathematics- Cartography should be researched earlyer (at Classical Era). Requires Mathematics and Ancient astronomy
- Elephant riding and Horserback riding? They are too specific. They should be merged into Animal husbandary. (raise the cost of AH?)
- Horse breeding? It's too specific. It shoud be just "Breeding" and also it shoud give +1 food bonus for Butchery (or something like that).
- Mounted archery? It's too specific. It shold be merged into Military training.
- Armoerd cavarly? It's too specific. It shold be merged into Armor crafting.
- Standing army civics should be get by Constitution.
- Computer Networks should depend on Microprocessor and Fiber Optics
- Microprocessor moved to Modern-4, prereq : Semiconductors
- Fiber Optics moved to Modern-4, prereq : Laser
- Computer Networks moved to Moder-5, prereq Microprocessor and Fiber Optics, gives The Internet (moved from Fiber Optics)

I keyed Computer Networks to ARPANet, which is before Fiber Optics (1969 vs. 1970). So I'm not moving it; you can have networks over cable without Fiber Optics. Fiber Optics has ONLY the Internet right now, so I don't want to take that away; empty "filler" techs are really bad. Semiconductors and Microprocessor need separation as well. I don't want them right next to each other. ...
I'm also not getting rid of any technologies at this time, except to remove the two absolute "do-nothing" techs of Cold Fusion and Global Governance. Neither of them seems to do anything, so I'd like to get rid of them. There are a few prunings that I would like to do, but I don't think now is the time.
As far as Cartography goes, I think it is placed where it is to keep map trading from coming too early; the Medieval Era is where map trading becomes available in regular Civ as well. I'd be really more inclined to leave it where it is.
Eventually, I'd like to move the Standing Army civic from Chivalry to Leadership, but I'm not very much in favor of reducing Chivalry to just the Mailed Knight unit. I wouldn't want to do that without giving Chivalry something else in return.
Ok, talk it about later. Just for note :
- I can see Cold Fusion in Civilopedia with -1 , but not in tech tree.
- I can also see Global Governance in Civilopedia, but not in tech tree.
In the interests of not overwhelming anyone, I prefer to space things out a little and post once/day, 2-3 levels at a time. That said, it's been a day since my last post, so let's finish out the Modern Era.
OK. No change for Cartography.
What about a new technology Map Making
- prereq Mathematics (and Ancient astronomy)
- Fixed border not allowed without this tech
- requires for Silk Road (currently Silk Road is definiatly available too early)
- until this tech Trade Caravan should get some limits (eg cannot explore or can move only on cart path/road/etc...)
- maybe limited exploration range (limited range from any cultural border) without this tech to all units.
Rethinking Standing Army. It shold be available in late ancient or early classic era. Ancient Rome has standing army, so the concept and is application is pretty old.
What about Warfare of Sige warfare?

As I've said previously, I'd like to work on civics at a later time. Joseph has already started working on civics and some of his suggestions should be useful, but my idea is to rework the whole civic system, changing names to civics and simplifying effects. Right now, when you change civic, most of the times you don't know at all what will happen. This is something I'd like to change (at least to a certain point). Back on the subject, I would consider Standing Army one of those civics that need to be changed somehow: it's true that ancient Rome had a standing army, but there were no other form of standing armies (AFAIK) until "modern" standing armies which were developed at the end of the Middle Age. All in all, this is something to think about, and I think it's better to do it when we will be discussing about civics.
