[Vanilla] Era modding - Skips eras straight to Modern

[uRabbit]

This is my first time attempting to modify the eras. I took the Slower Tech mod and attempted to set it to my desires.

It has worked as intended, for the most part. The cost is correct. However, for some reason, at a certain point, my game progresses from the Classical era to the Modern era. This has happened on three games so far. FWIW, I'm playing on the Standard speed. I wonder if that has something to do with it.

Thoughts?

Below is the code. The idea is to never progress past Industrial.

-----------------------------------------------
-- Technology cost
-----------------------------------------------

UPDATE Technologies SET Cost = Cost*3.0   WHERE EraType ='ERA_ANCIENT';
UPDATE Technologies SET Cost = Cost*5.0 WHERE EraType ='ERA_CLASSICAL';
UPDATE Technologies SET Cost = Cost*8.0 WHERE EraType ='ERA_MEDIEVAL';
UPDATE Technologies SET Cost = Cost*12.0  WHERE EraType ='ERA_RENAISSANCE';
UPDATE Technologies SET Cost = Cost*999.0 WHERE EraType ='ERA_INDUSTRIAL';
UPDATE Technologies SET Cost = Cost*999.0 WHERE EraType ='ERA_MODERN';
UPDATE Technologies SET Cost = Cost*999.0 WHERE EraType ='ERA_ATOMIC';
UPDATE Technologies SET Cost = Cost*999.0 WHERE EraType ='ERA_INFORMATION';

-----------------------------------------------
-- Civics cost
-----------------------------------------------

UPDATE Civics SET Cost = Cost*2.0 WHERE EraType ='ERA_ANCIENT';
UPDATE Civics SET Cost = Cost*5.0 WHERE EraType ='ERA_CLASSICAL';
UPDATE Civics SET Cost = Cost*8.0 WHERE EraType ='ERA_MEDIEVAL';
UPDATE Civics SET Cost = Cost*12.0  WHERE EraType ='ERA_RENAISSANCE';
UPDATE Civics SET Cost = Cost*9999  WHERE EraType ='ERA_INDUSTRIAL';
UPDATE Civics SET Cost = Cost*9999  WHERE EraType ='ERA_MODERN';
UPDATE Civics SET Cost = Cost*9999  WHERE EraType ='ERA_ATOMIC';
UPDATE Civics SET Cost = Cost*9999  WHERE EraType ='ERA_INFORMATION

If your goal is to „never progress after Industrial Era” then I might suggest using Real Era Stop mod. See the link in my signature.

But if you just want to fix your „skipping problem” then maybe it is related to messing up the random costs of the future era.

Interesting. I don't know about future cost.

Using your mod, I see how to set the max era. However, how do you change the speed as well as keep the accurate year?

For speed you need to use some other mods.
