Future Tech 1.29f CivIII

[maruapo]

What does Future Tech give you? I've achieved Future Tech 1, it's 1880, I have all resources, but I can't tell that having Future Tech 1 is doing anything. Anybody know what Future Tech does? Is it just a score thing?

It's the prerequisite to Future Tech II.

Basically they add to your Victory Point total if you have checked the victory point scoring box when you started the game, or if your game automatically uses victory point scoring. Sweetchuck, be nice, the guy is asking a legitimate question. What we should do is develop a list of future techs and then add them to the game in a mod.

Future Tech #73 installs the E-chip in Sweetchuck so that every time he's sarky, a signal lights up on Maruapo's screen and he has the choice to give Sweetchuck 0-10,000 volts of either pain or pleasure.

With Ft #74 he gets the option to air it on national paperview TV & gets filthy rich.

Future Techs are almost totally useless, adding a tiny amount to your score. When you finish researching Integrated Defense, shut science down and boost your income and luxes to help your score and also allow a huge military buildup. No demands ever again and should you want to, the ability to trash your opponents. Builders can then build anything they want with the extra cash. Win-win, no matter your playstyle.

If you shut down science completely, the govenors will set all specialists to scientists whenever the pop falls (starvation or worker/settler build) and any when the pop grows, the new citizen will be a scientist.
If you set the Sci rate to 10%, it'll give you all taxmen.
If anyone know how to override this by tinkering with the Gov settings, I'd love to hear about it.

I don't use governors much, so I don't really know. Generally, I micromanage from the domestic advisor to control which specialists I use. In my SG as the Vikings, we are doing a no science variant, and only a few scientists have ever popped up, and I think those were accidents by the player, not the governors. It is an interesting experiment, if I play a Deity or Demigod COTM, I may try it there.

I'm not sure what I was thinking when I posted this; the opposite is true.

Set Sci to zero -- all specialists taxmen
Set Sci to > zero -- all specialists scientists.
