[Vote] (7-05) Aluminum Tech Requirements

[Yngwie]

Problem: In current version it is possible to unlock Light tanks (require Aluminum) without revealing resource itself.
Proposal: move revealing of Aluminum to Industrialization (1 line Earlier)
Rationale: Aluminum was discovered in 19th century (though wasn't widespread)

Sounds like a nice tweak.
Did you have a reason for preferring Industrialization over Dynamite? (to me Dynamite is more a "chemistry" tech, if you get my point)

iirc it's currently unlocked at electricity? There is some nice thematic tie-in here -- that said, community has frequently elected to connect new things to odd tech's for gameplay and balance reasons, this wouldn't be any worse than the others really (eg calendar archers)

I'd prefer a thematically aligned solution -- if a player discovers a use for a resource before discovering the resource, perhaps they can be allowed to trade for the resource without actually seeing it on the map?

If unlocked at Dynamite you unlock Submarines before Aluminum.

I sponsor this.
