I would really like to split up Transhuman Era to Digital Era, Cyber Era, and Nano Era.

https://spreadsheets.google.com/spr...lodDl2a2tIYkVQSjBIRjRSb29YLW9NZ2c&output=html

Digital x79-90
Cyber x91-101
Nano x102-112

Each one will have at least 90 Techs. Ill do all the Tech Changes. I dont think the Transhuman Era should have 280+ Techs.


Colors
Digital..same as Transhuman
Cyber..light Blue..ABCD
Nano..dark green..ABCD


Digital Age [inspired by Immediate Future / Back to the Future 2/ The Island/ zenon (the disney girl movie)]
This age is about robotics, medical advances in gene teraphy, and technologies that are the stepping stones to the other Ages.

Cyber Age [inspired by iRobot/Minority Report/ Gattaca/blade Runner ]
This age is about artificial intelligence, cybernetics, holographics, and the emergence of cyber and virtual urbanization.

Nano Age [ inspired by The matrix /Gunhed/ Casshern / ]
Nanobotics, DNA Computing, artificial life and beginning of Lunar Colonization
 
Do you think it might be appropriate to term the 'digital' age the Information Age? Otherwise, so long as it doesn't cause humongous problems for everyone else I have no problems with it.

I am okay with using Virtual Era.

Virtual Era
Cyber Era
Nano Era


Nano Era can be Lunar Era or even Quantum Era.

for audio..cyber is ambient techno

and for audio..nano is goa ambient..

So what what would the colors be? At the moment we have ...

Red = Prehistoric
Orange = Ancient
Yellow = Classical
Lime = Medieval
Green = Renaissance
Cyan = Industrial
Indigo = Modern
Purple = Trans-Human
Gray = Galactic

Thus Light Blue and Dark Green are already taken. Unless you chnage the rest of the tree. We had a big conversion about era color and wanted it to make it go in a rainbow order.

Right now the techs you have research turn teal in color. I am thinking perhaps they should turn white or black since its hard to see what you researched in the blues and greens.

EDIT: Thus I propose ...

Red = Prehistoric
Orange = Ancient
Yellow = Classical
Lime = Medieval
Green = Renaissance
Teal = Industrial
Cyan = Modern
Indigo = Digital
Purple = Cyber
Gray = Nano
Black = Galactic
White = Future (Only Analyze Strings)

White = Researched Tech
 
Well, maybe we should get rid of the "Future" era, as we are now representing the actual future. This way,we can also use white for a new era!
 
How about this. since.I am going to split Galactic to Solar, Interstellar, and Galactic.



Red = Prehistoric
Orange = Ancient
Yellow = Classical
Lime = Medieval
Green = Renaissance
Teal = Industrial
Cyan = Modern
Navy/Dark Blue = Digital
Indigo = Cyber
Purple = Nano
Dark Pink/Magneta = Solar
Gray = Interstellar
Light Black/Dark Grey = Galactic
Black= Dimension Era

Future Strings = White

White = Researched Tech

Ok. That sounds good. As long as they are distinct enough from each other to tell one era color from the other.

Also each new era will need a new era picture. I made the one for the Galactic Era and would like it to stay for the Galactic Era or Interstellar Era. I am sure you can come up with new ones for your other eras.

Can you give me a template or size to use for Era Picture, and yeah Galactic Era pic stays.

Also does each era have its own Audio..i can provide audio from indie artists at Youtube.

The main priority right now is the <ERA></ERA> Tags. I have no idea how to do Python at all.
 
I think the info era is more definitive, descriptive, and comprehensive than digital. Digital describes the transition of analog tech to digital. Info includes digital, the Internet, and the transition to the 21st century, millennial changes, and the start of the momentum of ideas, memes, viral, etc.
Info / ideas are just beginning to have a real life of their own, and are spreading and growing independent of people trying to control them.

I would merge Transhuman and cyber and maybe call it the Trans-Cyber Era. It involves the idea of trans-ition to living in the future and not the present. Cyber invokes robotics, and the Transhumanism idea of merging with machines: cyber-netic. I think merging both ideas defines the era better than just Transhumanism or cyber. In this age pretty much everything is done differently than today. This era is completely defined by the intertwined relationship of man and intelligent machines, and the line blurring.

the nano age , is a great tag because nanotechnoloy will define the next era, construction is almost almost instant and manipulating matter on the atomic level will be regular.

I second this. I thought it was kind of weird that there was a future era even though we had a galactic and transhuman ear.
 
The Information Age, also commonly known as the Computer Age or Digital Age, is an idea that the current age will be characterized by the ability of individuals to transfer information freely, and to have instant access to information that would have been difficult or impossible to find previously. The idea is linked to the concept of a digital age or digital revolution, and carries the ramifications of a shift from traditional industry that the industrial revolution brought through industrialization, to an economy based on the manipulation of information, i.e., an information society.

The technological singularity is the hypothetical future emergence of greater-than-human intelligence through technological means.[1] Since the capabilities of such intelligence would be difficult for an unaided human mind to comprehend, the occurrence of a technological singularity is seen as an intellectual event horizon, beyond which events cannot be predicted or understood. Proponents of the singularity typically state that an "intelligence explosion"[2][3] is a key factor of the Singularity where superintelligences design successive generations of increasingly powerful minds.

This hypothesized process of intelligent self-modification might occur very quickly, and might not stop until the agent's cognitive abilities greatly surpass that of any human. The term "intelligence explosion" is therefore sometimes used to refer to this scenario.[4]

The term was coined by science fiction writer Vernor Vinge, who argues that artificial intelligence, human biological enhancement or brain-computer interfaces could be possible causes of the singularity. The concept is popularized by futurists like Ray Kurzweil and it is expected by proponents to occur sometime in the 21st century, although estimates vary.

Well we did have a topic already questioning more areas. In it there were more name suggestions ...

More Eras?

I personally think this set up is fine.

Digital = Information
Cyber = Trans-Human
I also dislike the term singularity.

Lets keep that setup then. Digital, Cyber, and Nano also match the eras of many others games, especially Empire Earth.
 
Woah, I just realized that this will seriously screw with my Gamespeed balancing. MrAzure, could you please give me a rough count of how many techs will be in each of the three eras, and make sure to notify me when you add this so I can make sure to balance things. Thanks.

"Future Era" consists of one tech and means that you have gone off the end of the tech tree. When you have studied the "Future Era" tech you get to study it again at an increased cost. If you put any buildings or units in this tech you will never be able to build them because you will always have one more tech you will need to study to get it. The name can be changed but it is still "Future Tech" to the game.

edit I a still convinced we need to change the structure of the prehistoric to classic eras.
