Editing the Tech Tree

[anansethespider]

This thread will document my ongoing struggle with the Civ VI tech tree

Currently, here is my challenge to anyone listening: I am trying to change the cost of Astrology to 25 (from 50), which would have the effect of moving it to the first row, along with Pottery, Animal Husbandry, and Mining.

Can anyone do that?

I created an earlier post detailing how to limit the tech tree to a specific era:

To do what you want to do, go to C:/program files/steam/steamapps/common/Sid Meiers Civilization VI/Base/Assets/Gameplay/Data/

Then open the technologies xml file with notepad. Scroll down until you see:

</Types>
<Technologies>
<!-- Ancient Era-->
......
<Row TechnologyType="TECH_ASTROLOGY" Name="LOC_TECH_ASTROLOGY_NAME" Cost="50" AdvisorType="ADVISOR_RELIGIOUS" EraType="ERA_ANCIENT" UITreeRow="-2"/>

Go to where it says Cost="50" and change to 25, and then save. Remember to backup the original game files before changing them.
