Information Era Mod - Ideas & Help Needed

[Atrius]

Name: Information Era

Definate Modifications Added
New Era: Information Era
- Triggered by completing the research of Computers
- Currently no graphical changes to cities or units

Hacking Tech
- Requires Computers tech and The Internet Project (Built by anyone)
- Allows training of Hacker unit (see below)
- -1 Commerce to opponent cities
- Leads to Viruses tech

Hacker Unit
A "Super Spy" unit that can
- Steal Gold
- Change City Production (requires Viruses tech)
- Will currently use Spy models and sounds

Viruses Tech
- Requires Hacking tech
- Can view opponents' Research

More to come...

To those who read the original post, I have started from scratch and have decided to start by adding and testing the new Era first. Subsequent posts will display the code as I continue to work on it. Any help is appreciated.

Good idea.
What does exactly this tag: <PrereqProjects>PROJECT_THE_INTERNET</PrereqProjects> ?
Does it mean only the civ with this wonder will able to research the techs or every civs will be able to research them once the wonder has been built ?
