Thank you all for your input. Indeed these reports will help a lot to make the timeline of events more realistic. However as some of you have already mentioned, it is impossible and also boring to make history happened exactly how it has been. If you eliminate a civilization in 3000 BC, naturally this Civ can't do the things it was meant to do in 1967 AD.
@Nightravn,
1) Please contact Israfil, since he is the administrator of the project on source forge, he will give you the instructions what to do. But to make it faster just register with Source forge and send him your username so he can add you to the project.
2) I liked your analysis a lot. You are right the industrious traits were too powerful 50% Wonder? What was Firaxis thinking? The financial issue is harder to spot and require testing the game longer. True, both are problems, I have solved both. From now the industrious trait get only an additional hammer for any field that gives already 3 hammers (=4 hammers) the financial trait instead of adding a coin to fields that produce already 2 coins -> only fields that produce 3 coins (= 4 coins).
Regarding the religions:
Zarathustra lived in about 1500 BC we know that because the 17 hymns (Gathas) that are written by himself are incredibly close to the Arian Rig Veda, which is dated back 1500-1700 BC. Some archeological funds support this thesis as well. The rest of Zoroastrian holy book Avesta is written in a much younger dialect, which clearly shows that they were written down by priests hundreds of years after Zarathustra's death. Zoroastrism belongs to the oldest Monotheistic Religion that had great influence on Christianity, Islam and even on Judaism. The later was done during the contact of Jewish prisoners with the Persians after their release from captivity from the Babylonians.
In short, Zoroastianism needs to have Monotheism as a Tech prereq, otherwise that would be historically inaccurate.
I do not agree with Abbamouse that Hinduism is that old. Hinduism is definitely much younger than Rig Veda and is written almost at the same time as Buddha was on his journey. Both Hinduism and Buddhism are based on the older Ascetism (giving up the material joy in life, no good food, no sex, no home). However Buddha improved his way and saw the middle way as the path to happiness, while Hinduism improved the old Ascetism in a different way.
I need to analyze the techtree again. But your idea is good that after Mystism we provide a fork to 3 ancient religions. Hinduism on Polytheism, Judaism on Monotheism and Zoroastrianism on one after Monotheism, however a cheaper one so the time line is correct. I have to tweak the costs though. This might solve the Monotheism problem.
Christianity before Feudalism? hmm that would be Monarchy...
I am planning to apply these additional changes to the religions to make them more realistic and interesting:
Judaism was indeed a tribal religion that became after the Jewish release from Babylon a Universal God. However the fact remains that this religions remains for the "Chosen People" everyone else than Jewish are excluded. This is also the reason why they have only 1 missionary in the game. However they shall also have a low spread rate. It looks just weird seeing after few turns so many different Jewish civilizations. But since having only 1 missionary and having a low spread rate would be unfair, so i suggest giving them a financial bonus in form of Trade Route or just plain religious commerce. I am wondering if we could make it possible that this religion once discovered and accepted, shall not have a spread rate and shall not allow any new religions within its civilization. I am sure that would be possible, since the inquisition is working too. We only need some python guys for this mod.
The other change should affect Taoism that would give health instead of War wariness. Zoroastrianism should have a happiness effect with Incense like Buddhism have with stone and marble. Zoroastrianism is btw not localized. Zarathutras message was for every one and he also preached his message to everyone. He never has spoken of any "Chosen People" and restriction to his people. In those times Zoroastrianism was wide spread before Islam expanded by military force through Arabia.
However you are right that the later Zoroastrian priests never attempted any missionary. For this reason I would also lower the spread rate of Zoroastriansm but nit as much as Judaism.
Last one is Hinduism. Actually I know a good benefit of Hinduism. It is remarkable that in India - if you have been there you couldn't have missed it - rich and poor live door by door. It is no problem for the rich being rich and living next to poor in his trench. Neither for the poor. No jealousy nothing.
Reason for that is the caste system, which says everything has a reason why you are born in that caste. In this case the burglary and corruption would be minimized. I would say the Hinduism Civs shall have less corruption.
The later religions will have more chance to spread through a bit higher spread rate and missionaries.
more to come....
