technology

A few years ago, I read that Japanese researchers in the year 2000 had started to work on technology that could “read” a persons dreams. That was literally 25 years ago and we have no further outgrowths of this study. What other “recent” things did science uncover that we have yet to expand...

Usually, you get more out of making more cities, rather then building things like Campus and universities. It would be an interesting if a certain focus allowed discovery of secret advancements, and also that technologies could be lost at the end of the Antiquity and Exploration eras. Some ideas...

Hi! What file and line edit to get slower technology progress? On Eternity production is to slow and research to fast.

Days without thinking about Rome: 0 In sum: The theory proposes the dodecahedron was a component of military cryptology. In addition to providing an aperture for the cipher discs, it was used to seal the dispatches in a way that provided the receiver a quick reference to which cipher applied...

What if technology was not an attribute of players (civs) but of cities? Then, a city is a thing that has the different tech bubbles achieved or not achieved. I got the idea while reflecting on the shortcoming discussed in this reddit thread: When you restore a dead player, the player's...

Hi! I’m Robert Hutson, with the C Prompt art team behind Millennia. Welcome to our first dev diary focused on the Art of Millennia. As stated in previous entries, Millennia is a huge game. There are hundreds of military or strategic unit types, and even more buildings, abilities, and resources...

Hello all, still playing CIV2 30 years later (almost) and I've been thinking... Wouldnt it be nice if: 1. When I find a mercenary or corrupt an enemy unit who control a technology I do not yet have, I automatically acquire said technology (typical in the first half of the game); 2. When I find...

Should basic city walls require a technology to build? In Civ games (and similiar civbuilding 4x games), city walls require a technology / advancements to build which generally becomes available by the latter stage of default 'Ancient Era' (usually 4,000 BC but the Humankind set the beginnings...

A mod potential thread, by modders for modders. Should Percussion Primer (AKA Percussion caps, with shock sensitive agent made of Mercury Fulminate) be an industrial era technology that comes between Scientific Theory and Rifling? - If so what should it do - If not. why?

Hi, These are the files, including the edits I made discussed in the thread, https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/terrain-technology-limiting-culture-spread.641656/ . The modcomp allows for; 1) blocking the spread of cultural influence of terrain types until a pre-requisite technology is...

This mod's goal is to make Civ 4 more historically accurate by turning every part of the game into a dynamic, unpredictable path. (After all, no historic king has sat around planning how quickly they can discover Iron Working before the Byzantines get it.) Details are in the thread.

Mod potential thread 1. Should Calculus appeared in the game as a technology that appeared by the closing stage of Renaissance Era? (Because Modern Calculus as we known today was developed in Europe in the 17th Century by two persons. Issac Newton and Gottfried Leibnitz...

MoreTech The Tech Tree just got 2x bigger Overview For almost as long as I've played Civilization V, I've consistently felt that the vanilla Tech Tree was too short and was missing large swaths of human history. I noticed there were a few mods out there that expand the Tech Tree, but would...

The three hundred-and-fifty-third episode of PolyCast, “Back to Console School“, features regular co-hosts Stephanie “Makahlua”, Philip “TheMeInTeam”, and Jason “MegaBearsFan” Grade with guest co-host DanQ and discusses the following: Senate - 00h03m25s | Districts and their Discontents -...

So I don't know if this is useful, but this is a tech tree I designed. I really hate those tech trees which have every relationship linked by a line. A lot of those connections are really unnecessary - I really don't need to know that Industrial Automation is a prerequisite to Graviton Theory...

Look at this beaut, small Earth map, prince difficulty, historic start locations, barbarian and neanderthal cities on, current year 11418BC, the news popup says I am in the tech lead, meanwhile Paraguay already got wiped out by the barbs and this explains why: I guess I'll have to increase my...

I have had this idea for a while now. I'd like to play on a huge true starting map with all civilizations so that technological advancements of certain civs (the Europeans, American colonies etc.) would be taken into action. I was wondering if it is possible to create a mod where each civ can...

I was wondering if it was possible to have a unit need 2 different techs do be able to be built. For example you would need both pottery and animal husbandry to be able to built archers. Not so that you need to research animal husbandry first to be able to research pottery but so you can...

This is just what it says on the box - a simple mod that scales up tech and civic costs progressively throughout the game, so the tech pacing doesn't snowball way ahead of production to the point where units go obsolete before you've finished building them and the modern era starts in 1000 AD...

Hello, Whenever I start a game with Marathon speed in the Ancient era, the research speed is always glitched and stays at 25 turns per technology. Epic is 14 turns per tech. Standard is 6 turns per tech. Sometimes I see it be 150 turns per technology [Marathon], but then after I click it, it...
