Set ending era?

[tjmaze]

The only mod I really used in the last game was to end the game at a specific era. Usually the Industrial one. Any tech beyond that is just made unavailable.

Is this something I could do myself easily right now? Or will I have to wait for them to release the mod tools? (What's the hold up there anyways?)

You could install the slower tech mod here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/slower-tech-by-era.600579/

and then edit the .sql file so that the techs after the industrial era cost a ridiculously high amount. I don't know if there's a max number but try 999. It'll take a bazillion turns to research anything after that area, so it's essentially unavailable. You can also do the same thing with the civics (check the discussion in the thread above).

If you want the game to end at specific era, look at ReligiousCombatScenario_Victories.xml

Spoiler example :

<Row>
<RequirementId>GAME_ERA_LIMIT_REACHED</RequirementId>
<Context>VictoryProgress</Context>
<Text>LOC_RC_GAME_ERA_LIMIT_REACHED_PROGRESS</Text>
</Row>
</RequirementStrings>
<RequirementArguments>
<Row>
<RequirementId>GAME_ERA_LIMIT_REACHED</RequirementId>
<Name>MinGameEra</Name>
<Value>ERA_INDUSTRIAL</Value>
</Row>

could make a mod to add victory based on that code.

Ah, I'm not trying to make the victory condition reaching a certain era, I just don't want the game to progress beyond it .

I'll take a look at this after work, thanks!

Sorry for misunderstanding, If I wanted to stop era progressing simply just for myself, I would just change the costs for the techs and civics of that era to some outrageous number so it would take far more turns than I would intend to play to research.

I created this. Though you will have to swap out the civics and technologies files with the originals.
