the world builder isn't easy to work, but I figured I would try my hand at it.
you start in player mode and can edit techs there.
important not that certain techs must activate some stuff. if you give a civ meditation, then you have to manually have a founding city. in the game when the tech is learned - then and only then- is one of your cities assigned by the computer to be the founding city.
I also wanted to show others that it could be done.
