The New World Mod

[Ozymandias]

Then I think that should be a major factor starting in the third age of the mod.

I could have three possible tech trees, with each one representing a certain path, the problem is I'd want those to be optional techs, so that AI doesn't research them all, yet that would create the problem of the AI only research the techs needed to advance an era.

Any ideas?

Blue by parameters I meant ways in which a native people could not embrace anything western and survive.

My only idea: 3 different Civ-"group" tech trees, use Era=None techs, and decide which path each of your Civs would be most likely to follow (e.g., perhaps the Apache, who arguably became the finest light cavalry in the world, armed with rifles, would follow the "Europeanization" route.)

Best (Even On "Hiatus"),

That is a good idea Ozy. I used that approach somewhat with my old mod. A simplier way might be to approach westernization as units and buildings, perhaps the more your civilization depends on a particular building could represent how westernized they are.

Assuming you start all your New World Civs in Era 1, and the Old World Civs in Era 2 (which the NWCs can advance to) a killer could be a SW like, "European Embassy," which would require enough of a certain Improvement to only be available to those Civs which aren't collapsing -- and have it act like the Great Library. That could now be your, "Europeanizing" pathway.

I think what I'm going to do is have a tech tree which places greater importance on western/europeanization starting in the third era.

Obviously I'm going to have some "what if" stuff, like using Redalert's Christian Aztec Temple.

I even thought of using this symbol for a hypothetical Aztec branch of Christianity:
