Modified tech tree in GOTM?

[Arphahat]

This is my first time playing the gotm and I have a question regarding the tech tree. I have completed all of the techs necessary to advance from ancient times, yet it behaves as though I have not. I have been digging around on this site looking for any info regarding this and am thinking that there is a new tech that is necessary, but I cannot find this info listed anywhere. Thanks.

No - the tech tree has not been modified. Some modifications have been made to the effects of the techs: See here for more details.

What do you mean when you say "It behaves as if I have not"? Can you give us some more information.

After chatting with a friend and doing some additional investigation, I discovered that I misunderstood the way the tech tree works. I never noticed it before, probably because I really haven't played that much of Civ III yet.

For the record, my understanding was that techs with a circle cross on them were not needed to advance to the next age. While that is correct, my mistake came from believing that any tech leading up to a deadend was also unnecessary. So, I am missing Code of Laws because I thought that it was only needed to get Republic and not required to move to the next age.

Thanks for the replies, though.
