We desperately need the Medieval to be re-sorted out. Techs that should be medieval are positioned in late classical. The Medieval era is dramatically underdeveloped. There's that huge gap in space to work with. It's kinda a mess and it looks like one.
And I think it should go without saying that the team always has room for one of the founding fathers of the mod to get back onboard with us! You might have a little catching up to do on what we've done in the meantime but hopefully it's all good stuff.
I looked at the first link there and didn't see much we don't currently represent unfortunately. I also felt that our tree is much better researched in terms of chronological accuracy. I'm not tooting our horn yet though because I still think it could use a lot of improvement. What few things they did seem to present would be entirely new chains of building concepts and I'm thinking we need to perfect the ones we have before looking at new ones. I suppose if it gets the juices flowing to look elsewhere, its worth looking at, but I've always felt that we, the modders of C2C, have better internal guidance as to what to develop and how to go about it then we get from looking at the works of others. AKA, WE drive innovation, not the other way around!
Well i have been doing more research into tech trees and eras and if its ok I would like to split up existing eras into smaller eras. This is similar to the stuff discissed with MrAzure back in the day. Somethign more like ...
- Paleolithic (Previously Prehistoric)
- Mesolithic (Previously Prehistoric)
- Neolithic (Previously Prehistoric / Ancient)
- Chalcolithic / Copper Age (Previously Ancient)
- Bronze Age (Previously Ancient)
- Iron Age (Previously Classical)
- Dark Age (Previously Classical / Medieval)
- Middle Age (Medieval)
- Renaissance
- Imperial / Colonial (Previously Renaissance)
- Industrial
- Modern / WWI (Previously Industrial / Modern)
- Postmodern / Atomic / WWII (Previously Modern)
- Contemporary [Maybe] (Previously Modern)
- Digital (Previously Modern / Transhuman)
- Genetic / Biotech (Previously Transhuman)
- Cyber (Previously Transhuman)
- Nano (Previously Transhuman / Galactic)
- Interstellar (Previously Galactic)
- Intergalactic (Previously Galactic)
- Future
Note some i have not figured out the official name but this gives you a general outline. It also means the eras are more evened out in how many techs are in them compared to other eras.
