This Thread is to open discussion on the subject I keep bringing up.
Having more variability added to the tech-tree, eras, events, and course of game play.
It is to include the ideas of
Milestone Technologies - Techs that change everything, and making them show up earlier/later, even radically so. To explore what-ifs.
Modular Eras - making them easy to mod and replace / trigger. So that they can show up around each other, at different times.
Themes - If we can have modular eras, then we could explore alternate era development easier, making mod-mods that are themed, expanded, reduced(C2C light/R2R), or experimental. I hope this could open up themed mod-mod eras and specific era improvements that could be considered for core C2C.
That way people could play a themed Star Trek/ Star Wars or fantasy Lotr type C2C.
Dark Ages - setting up triggers could allow a random/slider for probability selected Dark Age that could show up around different eras.
Setting up this mechanic could also open up alternate timelines to more development.
You could even randomly pick a era for a dark age/apocalypse to show up. Surprise.
Out-of-place technologies - Think King Arthur's Court, The Crosstime Engineer, Difference Engine, etc. Gameplay with one thing different, or a lot of things.
Triggering a milestone, or unexpected technology at a certain planned or random/probable time.
and similar things.
I've had lots of similar conversations here, so I will eventually find and link them.

I would like to open up discussion on these topics.
What do you think? and do you have any better ideas?
