[BTS] Change Great People Tech Preferences

[Bruiser1]

Hi everybody,

I am hoping to find some help for the following problem.

I would like to change the order of techs that are preferenced by Great People and don't know how to make that happen.

For example: Great Scientist
Basic Tech Preferences List (BtS) is:

Writing
Mathematics
Scientific Method
Physics
Education
Printing Press
Fiber Optics
Computers
Laser (BTS)
The Wheel
Alphabet (BTS)
Philosophy
Chemistry
Fission
Fusion
Optics
Paper
Astronomy
Biology
Electricity
Flight
Genetics
Compass
Satellites
Aesthetics (BTS)
Sailing
Alphabet (Vanilla & Warlords)
Calendar
Medicine
etc.

I would like to change that to this order:

Writing
Mathematics
Scientific Method
Physics
Education
Printing Press
Fiber Optics
Computers
Laser (BTS)
The Wheel
Alphabet (BTS)
Chemistry
Fission
Fusion
Optics
Paper
Astronomy
Philosophy
Biology
Electricity
Flight
Genetics
Compass
Satellites
Aesthetics (BTS)
Sailing
Alphabet (Vanilla & Warlords)
Calendar
Medicine
etc.

Can anyone tell me how to do this?
In which file is this information hidden?

Thanks for any advise you can give me.

In Civ4TechInfos, each technology is given a certain number of "Flavor Points". That is how the game determines what Great People bulb.

Great Scientists use the science points.

So all you need to do is find the Philosophy tech, and change the science flavor value to less than Astronomy's flavor. (Philosophy is 8; Astronomy is 7, so change Philosophy to 6.) Then the game sees Astronomy as more valuable than Philosophy.

Change this:

            <Flavors>
                <Flavor>
                    <FlavorType>FLAVOR_RELIGION</FlavorType>
                    <iFlavor>3</iFlavor>
                </Flavor>
                <Flavor>
                    <FlavorType>FLAVOR_SCIENCE</FlavorType>
                    <iFlavor>8</iFlavor>
                </Flavor>
                <Flavor>
                    <FlavorType>FLAVOR_CULTURE</FlavorType>
                    <iFlavor>6</iFlavor>
                </Flavor>
            </Flavors>

to:

            <Flavors>
                <Flavor>
                    <FlavorType>FLAVOR_RELIGION</FlavorType>
                    <iFlavor>3</iFlavor>
                </Flavor>
                <Flavor>
                    <FlavorType>FLAVOR_SCIENCE</FlavorType>
                    <iFlavor>6</iFlavor>
                </Flavor>
                <Flavor>
                    <FlavorType>FLAVOR_CULTURE</FlavorType>
                    <iFlavor>6</iFlavor>
                </Flavor>
            </Flavors>
