New techs?

[Trik]

I wish they would have more refined techs, like tech trees within the tech tree. Not huge branches but more like little upgrades for some techs. Like advanced craftsmanship to improve swordsmen attack.

I agree. The nuclear path is pretty much useless in my book.

So, apparently one confirmed new tech is Combined Arms.

Did Civ3 have a Combined Arms tech? I think this is the first time since Civ2 that it's appeared. Back then, it had Helicopters and Paratroopers. They wouldn't necessarily move both there, but it's food for thought.

The confirmation of the great firewall wonder, leads me to suspect that we will the internet as a new tech. After all, the great firewall does not make any sense with the internet.

 

[Louis XXIV]

I think that sounds right. It also makes more sense that way.

Well Internet does not need to be a new tech. it could be put as a project/effect under Globalization (which requires Computers).

Ideally the Internet would be a project, but it could also be treated as a National Wonder (getting your civilization connected to it rather than inventing it). Build an Internet Cafe in every city or something. But I could also see it getting treated as an obvious inevitability and thus be a static bonus to espionage for discovering Computers or Globalization.

An idea I had would be Fiber Optic Network as a modern/future era building for cities. It could do.. whatever, probably happiness or production. I can even see it as part of an infrastructure buildin series, with public transport and superhighways being others.

Maybe I'll decide to make a mod someday....

No need to mod that in SuperWaffle, I already did it I called it a Cable Network (available with Internet tech) and it grants +1 , and +5% in ALL cities.
