@Thunderbrd @JosEPh_II @Dancing Hoskuld @pepper2000

I connected floating techs as shown in screenshots in previous post.
I also removed all redundancies.
Those changes were done for all eras up to including Inndustrial era.
That is I didn't change anything in Modern and later eras, as Pepper is changing things around here.

I had to move few religious techs around Y axis when I was connecting floating techs.
Also I removed redundant requirements from religious techs.
Those techs are Canaaism/Mormon/Shamanism/Tengrii.
Canaism/Mormon lost all their redundant tech AND requirements.
Shamanism was moved to Y17 and its prereq was changed to OR type (arrow).
Tengrii was moved a little (Y15->Y13).

There were 77 such techs out of 400+ existing in Prehistoric-Industrial eras.
Can I commit those changes to tech tree, or should I wait for V39 release?
Those things are purely graphical for player.

I wonder how beelining priorities will change... someone said Beelining Stings is useless as AIs rushed to next eras anyway.

On unrelated note I wanted to fix some capitalization mistakes.
I corrected one for food wasted, but I cant find text "free commerce" at all in ANY files within Caveman2Cosmos folder (Notepad++ will search everything everywhere too).

I corrected one for food wasted, but I cant find text "free commerce" at all in ANY files within Caveman2Cosmos folder (Notepad++ will search everything everywhere too).

It's from the TXT_KEY_MISC_HELP_FREE_CITY_COMMERCE within CIV4GameTextInfos.xml

 

[raxo2222]

It's from the TXT_KEY_MISC_HELP_FREE_CITY_COMMERCE within CIV4GameTextInfos.xml

Weird there is no such file and no such entry within c2c.
I guess I have to add it to CIV4GameTextInfos_C2C from vanilla Civ4.

Added this one, now lets see if this change works.
I changed "free commerce" to "Free Commerce"
Yup it works.

Yup it works.

Not all files from vanilla is overwritten by C2C, so it is sometimes necessary to look in the vanilla assets to find content you are looking for.

 

[Thunderbrd]

Yeah, the way the files work is if it's in the modules it will usually override or edit what is in the core xml for the mod. If it's in the xml for the mod, it'll override completely what it is when it's found in the Beyond the Sword assets. If it's in the BtS assets, it'll override whatever it may be if it is found in the Warlords and/or Core Civ IV assets. Warlords would override CivIV if you have anything in there still (original setups like mine might). And from there if it isn't found in warlords, bts, or the mod in any form, it'll rely on what it finds in the Civ IV base stuff. There's still a lot of texts that go back to that and when it must be changed, copying it to one of our mod folder text files will be necessary. Just make sure to keep the same type tag.

 

[Thunderbrd]

I wonder how beelining priorities will change... someone said Beelining Stings is useless as AIs rushed to next eras anyway.

I'm not concerned about how it changes the AI progress through the tree that much. Beeline Stings is something where the AI is a little deficient at understanding the danger. I do still need to give them some measure of reluctance to go for a gateway tech, particularly if the first player has already reached the gateway tech and taken its free tech.

 

[raxo2222]

As you saw earlier I connected floating techs too.
Shamanism now is connected with arrow, but I had to swap places - basically it was on top of column and now is at bottom of column.
Piracy, Sculpture and Board Games are connected to techs with arrows now.
It looked harder than it actually was, opposite of connecting Shamanism to tech tree with arrow.
Fixed floating Judaism on my side (removed its redundancies) and accordingly changed places of techs in game and in file.
Changed Diplomacy so it is connected with arrow.
Moved Executions and Surveying out of way, so Alchemy can have OR requirement with Engineering.
Swapped Colonialism with Navigation and Mercantilism with Corporation, so Heliocentrism could get OR requirement.
Moved one tech out of lawn, so Barbed Wire can have OR prereq with Agricultural Engineering.
Moved techs under Civil Engineering one Ygrid down so Artillery can have OR prereq with Semiautomatic Weapons.
I connected four floating techs to Industrialism (Advanced Metallurgy/Plastics) and Trenth Warfare (Armored Vehicles/Automatic Weapons). Still cleaner than Industrial era.
Reattached Recycling too.
Connected Unmanned Air Vehicles. Moved few techs to keep lines untangled.
Attached Genetic Biochemistry. That one was easy and clean.
Paper Electronics has OR requirement with Nanogenerators, untangled Acoustophoresis and changed prereq for Ontological Engineering.
Regenarive Medicine, Hypothetical Biochemistry and Supercharged Crystallography have OR prereqs.
Cultural Longevity now has OR requirement with Directed Panspermia.
Pure Information Society and Dark Energy Harvesting have OR requirements.

Here is guide to space:

You need custom scenarios like Vertical Solar that is included with mod or one of maps in maps&scenarios subforums if you want to play with space stuff.

------------------------------------------
I changed back some techs due to several possible patches to X lifestyle techs, that had requirement of X lifestyle tech.
That is if Lifestyle Tech required X or Y or Z, and one of techs requiring Lifestyle Tech required for example X or X prereqs not required by Y and Z, then it didn't count as redundancy.
Redundant techs in Universe:

Spoiler :

Galactic Warfare requires Galactic Lifestyle/Galactic Federation/Folding Space, but Galactic Federation is already covered by Galactic Lifestyle prereqs.
Galactic Warfare will require Galactic Lifestyle/Folding Space.

Intergroup Travel requires Cultural Longevity/Directed Panspermia/Intergalactic Colonization, but Directed Panspermia is directly required by Cultural Longevity.
Intergroup Travel will require Cultural Longevity/Intergalactic Colonization.

Galactiforming requires Immortality/Galactic Ecology/Galactic Engineering, but Galactic Ecology is directly required by Immortality.
Galactiforming will require Immortality/Galactic Engineering.

Zeptotechnology requires Exotic Star Colonization/Wormhole Hivemind/Wave Motion Gun, but Wave Motion Gun is directly required by Exotic Star Colonization.
Zeptotechnology will require Exotic Star Colonization/Wormhole Hivemind.

Zero Point Energy requires Unification Mathematics/Exotic Star Colonization/Wave Motion Gun, but Wave Motion Gun is directly required by Exotic Star Colonization.
Zero Point Energy will require Unification Mathematics/Exotic Star Colonization.

Megawormholes requires Induced Supernova/Intergroup Travel/Intergalactic Empire, but Intergalactic Empire is directly required by Induced Supernova and Intergroup Travel is already covered by Induced Supernova prereqs.
Megawormholes will require Induced Supernova.

Omega Minus Engineering requires Macroscopic Superposition/Dark Matter Engineering/Reactionless Drive, but Dark Matter Engineering is directly required by Macroscopic Superposition.
Omega Minus Engineering will require Macroscopic Superposition/Reactionless Drive.

Pure Information Society requires Macroscopic Superposition/Dark Matter Engineering, but Dark Matter Engineering is directly required by Macroscopic Superposition.
Pure Information Society will require Macroscopic Superposition.

Cosmic Engineering requires Dark Energy Harvesting/Intercluster Travel/Pure Information Society, but Intercluster Travel is directly required by Dark Energy Harvesting.
Cosmic Engineering will require Dark Energy Harvesting/Pure Information Society.

Those are all Cosmic techs redundancies.

Redundancies in Final Frontier:

Spoiler :

Hyperstructure Engineering requires String Manipulation/Cosmic Engineering, but Cosmic Engineering is directly required by String Manipulation.
Hyperstructure Engineering will require String Manipulation.

Controlled Inflation requires String Manipulation/Cosmic Engineering/Spacetime Economics, but Cosmic Engineering is directly required by String Manipulation.
Controlled Inflation will require String Manipulation/Spacetime Economics.

All redundancies in Transcendental era are fixed.

All redundancies are cleared.

 

[GrungierTag29]

Ahhh, Thanks for the help, it really cleared up things for me.

 

[raxo2222]

@pepper2000 I cleared all redundancies to end of tech tree.

Now I will try to unglue arrows where are glued (arrows going horizontally under tech, up and down arrows being in one place).
Sometimes it is impossible without moving techs in Xgrid and I'm just minimalising such cases, or I'm placing techs in such way that you can see arrow going under tech more clearly.
I'll post screenshots of untangled areas.
I'm doing that without moving techs in Xgrid.
Swapped Andeanism with Ressurection.
Moved Taoism two rows higher.
Moved Rat Catching and Plague Medicine two rows higher.
Moved Steampunk two rows higher and gas lighting two rows lower.
Moved Nuclear Power and Laser one row higher.
Swapped Space Tourism/Media Psychology, Lunar Bases/Wearable Computers.
Moved Online Community and Cyberwarfare, swapped Digitization with Rapid Prototyping.
Moved Powered Exoskeletons one row up and Micromechanics one row down.
Moved Hypersonic Flight 3 rows lower, swapped Megacorporations with Mainstream Cloning.
Switched And/Or prereqs of Automated Urbanization (Automated Robotics with Ontological Engineering).
Cleaned a lot of web in first part of Transhuman era by row and AND/OR prereq switching.
Did some cleaning of Cosmic/Transcedant era.

Spoiler :

I like that single OR requirement acts as AND requirement with arrow drawn.
This means moving OR/AND prereqs around is valid way to fix arrows too.

Places, where I cleared floating techs (this was done earlier):

Spoiler :

As you saw earlier I connected floating techs too.
Shamanism now is connected with arrow, but I had to swap places - basically it was on top of column and now is at bottom of column.
Piracy, Sculpture and Board Games are connected to techs with arrows now.
It looked harder than it actually was, opposite of connecting Shamanism to tech tree with arrow.
Fixed floating Judaism on my side (removed its redundancies) and accordingly changed places of techs in game and in file.
Changed Diplomacy so it is connected with arrow.
Moved Executions and Surveying out of way, so Alchemy can have OR requirement with Engineering.
Swapped Colonialism with Navigation and Mercantilism with Corporation, so Heliocentrism could get OR requirement.
Moved one tech out of lawn, so Barbed Wire can have OR prereq with Agricultural Engineering.
Moved techs under Civil Engineering one Ygrid down so Artillery can have OR prereq with Semiautomatic Weapons.
I connected four floating techs to Industrialism (Advanced Metallurgy/Plastics) and Trenth Warfare (Armored Vehicles/Automatic Weapons). Still cleaner than Industrial era.
Reattached Recycling too.
Connected Unmanned Air Vehicles. Moved few techs to keep lines untangled.
Attached Genetic Biochemistry. That one was easy and clean.
Paper Electronics has OR requirement with Nanogenerators, untangled Acoustophoresis and changed prereq for Ontological Engineering.
Regenarive Medicine, Hypothetical Biochemistry and Supercharged Crystallography have OR prereqs.
Cultural Longevity now has OR requirement with Directed Panspermia.
Pure Information Society and Dark Energy Harvesting have OR requirements.

Spoiler :

And all floating techs are connected to tech tree.

 

[raxo2222]

I did two small text related fixes too:

Spoiler :

I corrected forced terraforming entries.
Also corrected text related to techs changing property values - space was missing.

Technically I touched Ygrid tags and AND/OR requirement tags.
Also I moved techs to correct places after swapping techs in rows in TechInfo file, as they were sorted up to X62.

• Some initial work on helping the AI to not overreact to property control needs - a little more still needs to be done here but a few measures have been installed to keep from really big problems with this on very fast gamespeeds - it limits how many times in one round that a city can call for a property control unit.
• Ensures that if a property control building is ordered, a property control unit won't interrupt it being built so that if it unlocks better property control units, we wait until such units can be trained. This isn't a perfect solution because if a city is answering to a brokerage call, this won't function, but that should be a rare issue since usually such an advanced city will have already constructed a better access building on the very merit that it provides said access to improved units. Thus this is more a measure put in place for the earlier game AI.
• Ensures that when a property control building is called for, that a building that helps to control the right KIND of property is being selected, rather than any old building that manipulates any property in any direction (which is what it was previously doing, sometimes leading to the detrimental choice to construct buildings that would actually worsen the situation.

Testing shows these factors are now working as designed and it does have a very positive effect on the AI. Again, not perfect. I plan a touch more work on helping the AI to evaluate need for a unit by taking into account the drift factor, as Noriad has pointed out should be taken into account.

I'm that +1 small xml project away from saying let's re-release but I also do want to see more playtesting and I'm also hoping to catch what's causing these minidump crash reports so I hope I can find more of those reported soon.

I'm doing AI autotest on first 100 turns on Standard/Blitz/Noble on c2c_world map script.
I noticed one of AIs is wasting turns on processes...
They should be out of buildings before wasting time on process.

This lasts for couple of turns at worst though.
Also no more than 10 buildings stays unbuilt in capitals.

I have suggestion:
If buildings cost is <25% of total city output, then it should be built immediately as long as it doesn't have any drawbacks.

So I'm about 1200 turns into a Snail-paced, v38.1 game, and the AI isn't settling any new cities. Is there a way to fix this? Is this a known issue?

It has been fixed in the SVN version. Though if you are able to wait there will be a new version out in the very near future.

 

[raxo2222]

It appears I missed some redundancies
Naval Warfare doesn't need Sailing.
Scriptures - Priesthood.
Medicine - Biology.
Armored Vehicles - Artillery.
Rocketry - Advanced Metallurgy.
Modern Warfare - Amphibious Warfare.
Planetary Colonization - Planetary Exploration.
Optronics - Hypermagnetics
Encryption Machines - Propaganda.


I switched AND/OR prereqs of Nationalism.
Now it has two AND requirements: Rifling and Economics and one OR requirement: Constitution.
Rifling could be stranded before - was needed by only tech, and only tech had it as one ow two OR prereqs.

I'm going to clean any line crossings where it is possible without shifting techs in X grid.
That is shifting techs in row and juggling AND/OR prereqs.

Are you absolutely certain about this? I started a new game with the latest SVN yesterday. About 800 turns in (Snail) and I know for a fact that at least 2 of the AI have researched Tribalism quite a few turns ago (as in, 100+), but they're still on just one city.
