Tech Balance 1.18

[banzay13]

Is that runaway China here with us in room? Actually i saw it only once, since 1.18. Now more where no China at all, and in my games constant pressure on China leave thier cities (building) more un development, compare other world
As for Persia - it's more how Rome doing. If it collapse too early and there will be no Byzantine - so yes, Persia could runaway.

I haven't seen a runaway China in 1.18 recently either, they always collapse over and over again.

In 3000 BC, I do see super Persias and super Kushans, but they never last long. In 1700 AD, runaway France, Britain, and the Netherlands are also things (though the Netherlands is doomed to collapse to core because French and German culture always overpowers their tiles).

Can you point me to suitable dates where I would see runaway Persia or Kushans before they collapse?

In my experience, if Kushans and Persia survive past 200 AD they're likely to start their runway tech acceleration. However, the spawn of the Arabs almost always does them in. I don't have any saves to prove it yet though.
