Help with Technology Edit

[Chimptastic]

Hello,

Apologies I have zero experience with modding but I think my request is quite simple.

All I want is to make a mod that edits the cost of early technology & Civics to be 2x current then slowing down the increase rate throughout the ages.

I feel technology flies far too fast in this game and I would like to enjoy the eras for longer but not change any production costs.

My second request may be more difficult (or impossible) I have no idea. I simply want to put a block on anybody researching any technology / civic 2 eras ahead of current available technology/civics/

i.e. Stopping somebody reaching a Medieval technology (and therefore entering medieval era) without researching mining. Or any other ancient technology.

The second one is my biggest annoyance with Civ 6. It really pulls me out of immersion when an AI is two eras ahead of me yet only 2-3 technologies more.

Thanks for reading,
All the best.

Times X series of mods has individual components to add 2x, 3x, ...etc to tech, civics and great persons.
Slower tech by era mod is easily edited. It has multipliers for each tech era. You can change as desired.
There are several tech tree mods that add more prerequisite techs to the tree that result in less era jumping. These mods are fairly easy to edit as well. You can add or remove prerequisite techs as desired.
