[NFP] Change the boosts to BW/MT or grant them immediately if no barbs is turned on?

[SkipperXIV]

I think this one's fairly self-explanatory; I prefer to play without barbs (yeah I know) and am sick of never getting the boosts for Bronze Working or Military Tradition. I think it's kind of dumb that these two rely on barbs being, and if you have no barbs you have to hard-tech them. Would it be possible to provide the boosts to them on startup if barbs are turned off? If not, how easy is it to change the boosts to something easier to get without barbs? There are other combat-related boosts I'd like to change too, now that I think about it.

I also like to play without barbs, but the issue for me isn't so much the need to hard-tech but the CS quests for those boosts which you can't win unless you get lucky with tribal villages.

Perhaps someone could instead remove the boosts entirely, along with the city-state quests associated with the boosts. Hard-teching BW/MT has the upside of giving you a few more turns to get boosts for other things.

Or maybe change the boost criteria to fighting enemy civs instead of barbs. That would would add incentive for some ancient/classical military focus to no-barbs games.
