Keeping Eras close

[gyogen2]

I don't like it when other civs fall too far behind, so was messing around with a little script so they'll catch up quicker in research if they(or player) falls more than 2 eras behind.

I'm currently testing and seems to be working. If anyone is interested in it, I could probably also add to it so they would catch up in civics too.

I'll post if anyone wants to look at.

EDIT: Took file down since won't work w/ saved gamed

Forgot to mention, I don't think it works with previous saves, unless I am doing something wrong.

gameplay lua scripts aren't reloaded when you load a saved game.

Thanks for info. I wonder if there's a reason, or just have to wait for mod tools?

I suspect the reason is that Firaxis ran out of time and only implemented what they needed to support scenarios and tutorial mode. If you look at the gameplay scripts and config files from all of those they are just 1st-turn lua set-up code or else game-saving is not allowed.

Yeah, I noticed that, I've poured though the filesd looking for some way around, damn my head hurts
